Mills, 37, will portray a counselor to a wounded soldier who lost a limb in combat, HelloMagazine.com com reported Monday.

Mills lost her leg in 1993 when she was hit by a police motorcycle and has spent over a decade campaigning to help amputees in poor countries and against land mines, which earned her a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

McCartney met Mills at a charity function in 1999, a little more than a year after his longtime wife and musical collaborator, Linda, succumbed to cancer.

The musician and model were married in 2002 and have a 1-year-old daughter, Beatrice Milly McCartney.
