In the following years she played supporting roles and her film studio Warner Brothers wanted her to be a second Shirley Temple, but most of the time she only played spoiled brats. One of her best roles was Becky Thatcher in David O. Selznicks The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1938), she also provided the voice for Faline as an adult in Bambi (1942). She ended her film career in 1947.

Gillis later came back into acting for a small part in 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. She lived in Belgium from 1972 to 2014 marrying Belgian René Van Hulst (deceased 1999) devoting much of her time to painting and music and finally becoming a Belgian citizen. She moved to the UK in December 2014.
Baby I bought wine and roses on my way home
Yeah I know we can't afford it
But life doesn't last too long
This world has gone half-crazy
And knocked us both to our knees
I'm fumbling for the words to try to tell you
I love you for hangin' onto me
Chorus:
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And not a soul would blame you after what I put you through
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Mayday baby
All the rivets popped loose
It's a total tailspin
Too much grindstone
Too little time with you
Girl, you know it's wearing thin
Baby let's trade in these teardrops
For warm kisses on skin
You got a drawer full of IOU's
And it's high time you called those things in
Chorus
You've passed up so many chances
To walk right out that door
Instead of dodging a champagne cork
And watchin' the wet clothes fall to the floor
When anyone else would've been long gone
Packed it up and headed back home
And you can hide behind a Cheshire cat grin
But you know it's true
Yeah anyone else would've gone insane
Called the game on a count of rain
Anyone else, anyone else
Anyone but you
Anyone else
