MINI BIO:
Vivacious American dancer with very dark hair and a bright smile. In show business from an early age, she proved the most devastatingly fast tap dancer since Eleanor Powell, with enough vim and verve for the entire cast. One can never remember seeing the Miller waist exposed, but those fabulous legs were almost always in evidence in 20 years of musicals, throughout which she pleased audiences with her own brand of brassy sweetness. Three times married. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
.
She was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Motion Pictures. Miller was never nominated for an Academy Award.
