Vera Miles – 92 YEARS OLD

Vera Miles began her acting career in 1951 though her roles at the start didn’t suit her talents that much— that is until she was cast in the film, The Rose Bowl Story and Wichita. Miles was also busy shooting for television anthologies where her work in Rookie of the Year, The Searchers, and Revenge made her one of the notable stars during her time. She was even taken under the wing of Alfred Hitchcock, which was a milestone for the young actress.

Miles received praises for her acting chops in the movie, The Wrong Man, where she portrayed the wife of Henry Fonda, who was sent to jail for armed robbery despite being innocent. Though she remained second in some films, the actress still managed to hold on to her own when paired with male stars like Van Johnson and James Stewart. You would know her in the film, Psycho and Psycho II as well. Miles has been retired from acting and has since been a recluse in one of her investments in real estate in Palm Desert.
