Lorraine Miller on AllMovie

An auburn-haired starlet of the 1940s, whose slight resemblance to Rita Hayworth was much commented upon, Lorraine Miller had been voted Rodeo Queen prior to making her screen debut as one of the Goldwyn Girls. After a couple of years of mostly cheesecake layouts, Miller performed in a skit with Bob Hope in Paramount's Star Spangled Rhythm (1942) and then settled in as a popular B-Western heroine, appearing opposite such low-budget cowboys as Eddie Dew, Jimmy Wakely, and the constellation of Tex Ritter, Dave O'Brien, and Guy Wilkerson, aka PRC's Texas Rangers. Today, Miller is probably best remembered for playing one of the sexy hatcheck girls in the seminal film noir The Big Sleep (1946).
