Георгий Милляр родился 7 ноября 1903 года в Москве в семье Франца де Мильё, французского инженера-мостостроителя, уроженца Марселя, приехавшего в Россию на работу, и дочери иркутского золотопромышленника Елизаветы Алексеевны Журавлёвой. Детство мальчика проходило в роскоши. Но отец умер рано, в 1906 году в Ялте, когда сыну не исполнилось и трёх лет. Ещё до начала Первой мировой войны вдова де Мильё переехала из Москвы в Геленджик. После 1917 года семья осталась без родных и без денег, квартира в Москве и дом в Геленджике были конфискованы. Частицу «де» предусмотрительно убрали из подправленной фамилии, знание иностранных языков Георгий Францевич всю жизнь не указывал в анкетах, хотя свободно владел французским и немецким. Он работал в геленджикском театре бутафором, но, мечтая о сцене, учил все роли. Дебют актёра состоялся в спектакле «Золушка». Актриса, игравшая заглавную роль, заболела, и Милляр её подменил. Неожиданный дебют прошёл удачно, и на плечи юного Милляра возложили ещё одну обязанность — быть «скорой помощью». Так в 1920 году с женской роли началась актёрская карьера Георгия Францевича. В 1924 году он уже известный провинциальный актёр — поступает в Школу юниоров при Московском театре Революции (ныне Театр им. Маяковского). Георгий Милляр в роли Бабы-Яги. Милляр был участником многих спектаклей, оставшихся навсегда в памяти московских театралов: Герцог Альбано («Озеро Люль»), Мокроносов («Конец Криворыльска»), Пикель («Гоп-ля, мы живем»),аптекарь («Ромео и Джульетта»), Атташе («Голгофа»), Болтиков («Инга»), Имангужа («Поэма о топоре»), м-р Гоукер («Улица радости»), граф Людовико («Собака на сене»). Последующий этап в творческой жизни Георгия Милляра связан с именем известного мастера детского кино А. А. Роу. Режиссёр-сказочник нашёл в актёре единомышленника, и дружба их длилась более трёх десятков лет. Милляр — ярко выраженный характерный артист, мастер гротеска и буффонады. Уникальный голос, старчески дребезжащий, переламывающийся на утробное сопение, как нельзя лучше подходил для озвучивания сказочных злодеев, в первую очередь Бабы-Яги, Кощея Бессмертного, Чудища морского и т. д. Практически сам изобрёл костюм и грим Бабы-Яги — грязное серое тряпьё, наверченное на туловище и голову, седые патлы, большой нос с бородавками, торчащие клыки, безумно поблёскивающие глаза. Баба-Яга Милляра получилась не просто страшной, зловещей и жуткой, но и в какой-то степени хрестоматийной. Кощея Бессмертного Милляр играл, используя своё крайне худощавое телосложение и знаменитый голос (по поводу телосложения следует заметить, что фильм снимался во время Великой Отечественной Войны, и киностудия была эвакуирована в Среднюю Азию, где накануне съёмок актёр перенес малярию, вследствие которой весил во время съёмок всего 48 кг). Георгий Милляр сыграл тридцать больших ролей, принял участие в дублировании семидесяти картин, озвучивал сотню мультипликационных фильмов. Георгий Францевич Милляр скончался 4 июня 1993 года. Похоронен на Троекуровском кладбище (участок № 3).
