#Fact
1Grandmother of Jordan Essoe and Joshua Essoe.
2Arguably best known for playing Marion Crane's sister in Psycho (1960), a part later played by Julianne Moore. Miles also appeared in the premiere episode of The Fugitive (1963), which was also later turned into a film with Moore.
3Was portrayed by Jessica Biel in Hitchcock (2012).
4She was cast as the wife of the U.S. President (played by Charles Durning) in Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977), a role involving two scenes only. Director Robert Aldrich praised her performance, but, as the film was running long, he cut both her scenes out completely.
5She was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1652 Vine Street in Hollywood, California on February 8, 1960.
6Retired from acting in 1995 after 45 years in the motion picture industry; lives in Los Angeles, California.
7Mother-in-law of Gabe Essoe. Ex-stepmother of Keith Larsen Jr..
8Changed her name to Vera Miles (derived from her first married name) upon first arriving in Hollywood, due to there already being a Vera Ralston who was working there at the time.
9In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), John Wayne pursued Miss Miles, but lost her to James Stewart. Six years later, his luck improved. Miles played Wayne's wife in Hellfighters (1968) and The Green Berets (1968), though her scenes in the latter were left on the cutting room floor.
10Placed third in the Miss America contest in 1948. Miss Kansas 1948.
11By sheer coincidence, all three of Vera's handsome, strapping ex-husbands died within a short time span. Her third husband, Keith Larsen died on December 13, 2006; first husband/stuntman and small part actor Bob Miles died on April 12, 2007; and bodybuilder second husband actor Gordon Scott, who played Tarzan in films, died on April 30, 2007.
12In Italy, a great number of her films were dubbed by Rosetta Calavetta or Micaela Giustiniani. She was occasionally dubbed by Miranda Bonansea, Renata Marini, Dhia Cristiani and most notably by Lidia Simoneschi in Psycho (1960).
13Her scenes as John Wayne's wife in The Green Berets (1968) were cut from the movie prior to its release.
14Had appeared in the trailer for The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953).
15In the late 1940s, she made a television commercial for Lustre Creme shampoo.
16Was a contestant on You Bet Your Life (1950) on April 4, 1951. She and her partner won $8 in the quiz, guessed the secret word ("hand") and incorrectly answered the De Soto-Plymouth $5,500 Question ("Who was the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?").
17Was a favorite actress of Alfred Hitchcock after Grace Kelly retired, but pregnancy prevented her from many starring roles.
18Daughters with Bob Miles: Debra Miles (born in 1950) and Kelley Miles (born in 1952). Son with Gordon Scott: Michael Scott (born in 1957). Son with Keith Larsen: Eric Larsen (born April 30, 1961 in Burbank, California).
