Born Vera Ralston in Boise City, Oklahoma, on August 23, 1929, actress Vera Miles was raised in Kansas. Her preacher father abandoned the family in 1941.
A beautiful teenager, she was crowned Miss Kansas in 1948 and placed third in the Miss America contest of that same year. Miles was spotted for films while
a Miss America contestant, and she was signed by Howard Hughes to a contract which quickly fizzled. Soon after her arrival in Hollywood, the young actress
married photographer and stuntman Bob Miles, and she enrolled at UCLA with the hopes of becoming a teacher. The couple began a family, with daughters born
in 1950 and 1952; to help support the family, Vera Miles began modeling and taking small acting roles. Her first credited film role came in the low-budget
drama For Men Only (1952; with Paul Henreid and Russell Johnson), released by Lippert Pictures. She was also cast
in her first starring role that same year in the Monogram Pictures romance The Rose Bowl Story (1952; with Marshall
Thompson and Keith Larsen). She also found a lot of work on television into the mid 1950s. In 1954, Miles was cast in Tarzan's Hidden Jungle
(1955; with Gordon Scott and Peter van Eyck), and at about this time her marriage to Bob Miles ended in divorce. Having met
Gordon Scott on the set of the Tarzan film, the couple fell in love and eventually married in 1956. At precisely this point,
Miles' career was hot and she was poised for stardom, being cast in the high-profile films The Searchers (1956; with John
Wayne and Jeffrey Hunter) and the Alfred Hitchcock noir The Wrong Man (1956; with Henry Fonda and Anthony Quayle).
