Miller was the daughter of Charles W. Miller, an electrical engineer. She attended Michigan State College before she became an actress.[1]
In 1944, a photograph of Miller that was printed on postcards resulted in a lawsuit. She sued Photo Specialty Company, Samuel Goldwyn, and others for $50,000, saying that the widely distributed postcards harmed her career, reduced her earning power, and embarrassed her. Taken when Miller worked for Goldwyn, the photograph showed Miller in black lingerie on a white fur rug and had the caption "Samuel Goldwyn's Most Cuddlesome Blonde". The lawsuit said that Miller had not given her consent for use of the image.[2] In 1945 she was a dancer at Billy Rose's Diamond Horseshoe.[3]
On Broadway, Miller appeared in Happy Birthday (1946) and Magdalena (1948).[4]
She married American film actor and director Edward Buzzell on December 10, 1949,[5] in Palm Springs, California.[6]
