Everything about Sarah Miles totally explained
Sarah Miles (b.
31 December 1941,
Ingatestone,
Essex, England) is an
English theatre and film actress. She first attended
Roedean but at the age of 15 she enrolled at
RADA, the
Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.
Shortly after her drama studies, Miles had her film debut in
1962 as a precocious schoolgirl in
Term of Trial (
1962), opposite
Laurence Olivier. The following years she became a popular actress of
British New Wave with her roles in
Joseph Losey's
The Servant (
1963) and in
Michelangelo Antonioni's
Blowup (
1966).
After having been out of sight for several years acting in a variety of theatre plays, she made in
1970 an outstanding performance in the lead role of
David Lean's
Ryan's Daughter, which earned her a nomination for the
Academy Award for Best Actress.
Although she's sometimes denied it, Miles is known for her frequent use of
profanity. A November 1971
Cosmopolitan profile was subtitled "She uses words that would make a construction worker blush, but from her they sound refined" while a
Women's Wear profile was titled "The Lady with the Truckdriver's Mouth".
Sarah Miles is also widely known for her practice of drinking her own
urine. Citing famous practitioners of
urine therapy such as
Gandhi and
Nero, she's for thirty years been indulging herself in this tradition to keep herself healthy and vigorous.
In 1973, while filming
The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing, her manager and associate David Whiting died under mysterious circumstances. She was having an affair with
Burt Reynolds at the time.
