In 1948, Vera Miles won the Miss Kansas contest. After several minor roles in film and television, she appeared with John Ford in the Western Seekers (1956). After that, she was noticed by Alfred Hitchcock and offered roles in several of his films, including The Wrong Man (1956) and Psycho (1960). She also played in the episode Revenge on his television show Alfred Hitchcock Presents . In an interview for Onion magazine, Hitchcock, usually more restrained, said:

“Working with Vera, I felt the same as working with Grace . She has style and mind, and she has the ability to restrain " [1] .

Hitchcock sent her bouquets of black roses and letters written supposedly by a maniac fan. Their relationship deteriorated somewhat after she refused to star in his film " Dizziness ." Miles herself did not regret anything, taking it philosophically:

- “Hitchcock got his film, and I - my son” [2] .

The actress continued her career in film and television until 1995, after which she finally moved away from filming.
