Vera Miles

Vera Miles is an acclaimed American actress best known for her roles in Alfred Hitchcock's classic films, including 'Psycho' and 'The Wrong Man.' Born on August 23, 1929, in Boise City, Oklahoma, she gained fame in the 1950s and was often compared to Grace Kelly for her beauty and talent. However, unlike many of her contemporaries, Miles prioritized her family over fame, choosing to take on television roles that allowed her to be close to her children. Despite stepping back from the Hollywood spotlight, her contributions to American cinema remain significant, and she has become a subject of renewed interest through Christopher McKittrick's biography, 'Vera Miles: The Hitchcock Blonde Who Got Away.'
