Vera Miles (1929-)

biography

Born Vera Ralston in Boise City, Oklahoma, on August 23, 1929, actress Vera Miles was raised in Kansas. Her preacher father abandoned the family in 1941. A beautiful teenager, she was crowned Miss Kansas in 1948 and placed third in the Miss America contest of that same year. Miles was spotted for films while a Miss America contestant, and she was signed by Howard Hughes to a contract which quickly fizzled. Soon after her arrival in Hollywood, the young actress married photographer and stuntman Bob Miles, and she enrolled at UCLA with the hopes of becoming a teacher. The couple began a family, with daughters born in 1950 and 1952; to help support the family, Vera Miles began modeling and taking small acting roles. Her first credited film roll came in the low-budget drama For Men Only (1952; with Paul Henreid and Russell Johnson), released by Lippert Pictures. She was also cast in her first starring role that same year in the Monogram Pictures romance The Rose Bowl Story (1952; with Marshall Thompson and Keith Larsen). She also found a lot of work on television into the mid 1950s. In 1954, Miles was cast in Tarzan's Hidden Jungle (1955; with Gordon Scott and Peter van Eyck), and at about this time her marriage to Bob Miles ended in divorce. Having met Gordon Scott on the set of the Tarzan film, the couple fell in love and eventually married in 1956. At precisely this point, Miles' career was hot and she was poised for stardom, being cast in the high-profile films The Searchers (1956; with John Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter) and the Alfred Hitchcock noir The Wrong Man (1956; with Henry Fonda and Anthony Quayle).

After seeing her on a 1954 episode of Medic, Hitchcock was so taken with Vera Miles that he signed her to a three-film-per-year contract and starred her in The Wrong Man and then loaned her out to star in the Paramount biopic Beau James (1957; with Bob Hope and Darren McGavin). Miles was the first actress that Hitchcock had signed to a contract, and he wished to use her in place of Grace Kelly, who had married and abandoned her career. The contract that Miles signed was highly restrictive; for example, Hitchcock would not allow her to be publicly photographed with husband Gordon Scott or her two daughters. Miles was originally cast in the lead role in Vertigo (1958), but she became pregnant with her third child and could not do the film, which incensed Hitchcock. However, he continued to use Miles in television and film, casting her as Lila Crane in Psycho (1960; with Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, and John Gavin).

With their busy careers, Miles' marriage to Gordon Scott collapsed, and they divorced in 1960. Just months later, Miles remarried, this time to actor Keith Larsen, and the couple welcomed a son in 1961.

In the 1960s, Miles continued to frequently appear on television. Her film career morphed into family films such as the Disney movies A Tiger Walks (1964; with Brian Keith and Peter Brown), Those Calloways (1965; with Brian Keith), and Follow Me, Boys! (1966; with Fred MacMurray and Kurt Russell). By the late 1960s, Miles was wrapping up her feature film career, but she continued to work extensively in television, appearing often in Quinn Martin shows and in made-for-television films through the late 1980s. Her marriage to actor Keith Larsen ended in divorce in 1971. After another marriage in 1973 quickly ended in divorce, Miles has remained single and is now retired from acting.
