Georgette St Clair Biografía y Hechos
Kristine Miller (Buenos Aires, 13 de junio de 1925–Monterrey, 2015) fue una actriz cinematográfica y televisiva estadounidense, conocida por sus actuaciones en producciones de género negro y western. Descubierta por el productor de Paramount Pictures Hal B. Wallis, entre sus producciones más destacadas figuran I Walk Alone (1948), Jungle Patrol (1948), Too Late for Tears (1949), Shadow on the Wall (1950), y la serie televisiva Stories of the Century (1954–55). Biografía Inicios Nacida en Buenos Aires, Argentina, su verdadero nombre era Jacqueline Olivia Eskesen, y era la más joven de las dos hijas[1] de Johannes Bach Eskesen, un danés[2][3] dedicado al negocio del petróleo, y Myrtle Bennett Witham,[4][5] una cantante de la cadena de locales Orpheum,[6] nativa de Fresno (California).[7] El padre de Miller era vicepresidente de Standard Oil de Argentina, con sede en Buenos Aires,[8] donde nació también su hermana mayor, Dorothea.[9] Tras una década en Argentina, la familia viajó a Nueva Orleans en julio de 1931. Durante un año vivieron en Fresno, trasladándose a Copenhague, Dinamarca, en 1932[10] cuando Miller tenía 7 años de edad. En 1938, antes del inicio de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa, las hermanas y su madre fueron a vivir a Long Island, Nueva York.[11] Posteriormente volvieron a Fresno,,[12] y después fueron a San Francisco (California).[10] Debido a todos sus viajes siendo todavía una niña, Miller hablaba con fluidez el inglés, el español y el danés, teniendo conocimientos de portugués y alemán.[13] En sus años de formación no mostró interés por la actuación. Sin embargo, tras hacer un primer papel en una obra representada en la high school, la pieza de George S. Kaufman The American Way (1939), empezó a aficionarse al mundo del espectáculo. Según una versión, fue descubierta en Hollywood en 1944, con 18 años de edad, cuando un cazatalentos la vio actuar en su escuela. El cazatalentos no volvió, por lo que la actriz habría mandado a los estudios una carta con una fotografía, obteniendo una prueba de pantalla con Warner, momento en el que ella se cambió el nombre por Kristine Miller.[11][14] Aunque no superó la prueba, llamó la atención del productor Hal Wallis, que entonces estaba en disputa con el director de la compañía, Jack Warner. Wallis dejó Warner Brothers y pasó a Paramount Pictures, y se llevó a Miller y a otra actriz que tampoco había superado la prueba de pantalla, Lizabeth Scott.[15] Etapa en Paramount I Walk Alone En Paramount, Miller debutó con un papel sin créditos, trabajando junto a Scott en You Came Along (1945).[11] Miller encarnaba a una corista, y empleaba el nombre de "Jacqueleen Eskeson" La pareja actuó en cinco películas, cuatro de ellas producidas por Hal Wallis.[16] En 1946 Miller fue cedida a Monogram Pictures. Fue una modelo en el film de 1946 Suspense.[17] En esa época la actriz se mudó a la vieja casa de Wallace Reid en Coldwater Canyon, entonces convertida en una casa de huéspedes ocupada por actrices jóvenes, y conocida como "La Casa de las Siete Garbos."[18][19] En la casa vivían Ruth Roman, Suzan Ball y Linda Christian.[20] En julio de 1946 se anunció que Hal Wallis planeaba contratar a Miller para rodar la versión para la pantalla de la obra representada en el circuito de Broadway Beggars Are Coming to Town (1945).[13][21] Wallis quería que esta película fuera la gran oportunidad de Miller.[22] Sin embargo, Wallis se saltó la habitual publicidad utilizada para una actriz en ciernes.[10][23] Los planes eran que Miller interpretara a una cantante, Kay Lawrence.[24] En el invierno de 1946, Miller tuvo una pequeña actuación en el western Desert Fury (1947), encarnando a Claire Lindquist. Algo inusual para un papel tan pequeño, Wallis se aseguró de que Miller apareciera en sexto puesto en los créditos, detrás de Wendell Corey. El film se estrenó el 15 de agosto de 1947.[25] Inmediatamente después de Desert Fury, Wallis empezó a trabajar con Deadlock, el nombre original del proyecto de adaptación de Beggars Are Coming to Town. Miller volvería a coincidir con los actores de Desert Fury Burt Lancaster y Wendell Corey. Tras semanas de ensayos bajo la dirección de Byron Haskin,[26] Miller de pronto pasó a ser la segunda actriz. Lizabeth Scott, muy competitiva con todas las actrices, obtuvo el papel de Kay Lawrence.[27] Miller hizo entonces el papel de Alexis Richardson,[28] viéndose forzada a cortarse el pelo y utilizar moño.[29][30] Edith Head diseñó el vestuario de Miller, describiendo a la actriz como "la más excitante figura desde Betty Grable."[31] El film resultante fue renombrado I Walk Alone (1948), y se rodó entre diciembre de 1946 y febrero de 1947, estrenándose el 16 de enero de 1948.[24] Ella aparecía en quinto lugar tras Kirk Douglas. A causa de su papel, Miller tenía miedo de verse encasillada en papeles de mujer fatal, pero finalmente su carrera fue tendente a personajes de "buena chica.'"[32] En esa época, el nombre de Miller raramente aparecía en las publicaciones de chismes, y cuando lo hacía era siempre alejada de cualquier tipo de escándalo. En la prensa solamente se mencionaba un nombre relacionadao con ella, William Haskel Schuyler. A finales de noviembre de 1947 se anunció la boda de Miller y Schuyler,[33] aunque finalmente la ceremonia se pospuso. Jungle Patrol A principios de mayo de 1948, Miller fue cedida de nuevo, esta vez a 20th Century Fox para rodar West of Tomorrow—su primera película como protagonista. El guion se basaba en la obra de William Bowers del mismo título.[34] Ambientada en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en Nueva Guinea, Miller interpretaba a Jean Gillis, una actriz miembro del USO.[35] La película finalmente fue estrenada como Jungle Patrol (1948), única producción en la que Miller encabezaba el reparto.[36] A pesar de ser un "descubrimiento" de Hal Wallis, el productor no sabía qué hacer con ella.[37] La situación se agravó con la vuelta de veteranos actores tras la guerra. Empeorada por la crisis económica tras la contienda, la pujanza de la televisión y la ruptura del sistema de estudios,[38] la situación de Miller se hizo aún más difícil. Sus perspectivas mejoraron tras conocer al periodista y productor cinematográfico Mark Hellinger, que estaba seguro de que ella llegaría a ser una estrella. Pero Hellinger falleció súbitamente en 1947, y Miller se vio saliendo adelante con los pequeños papeles a los que ya estaba habituada.[37] De las nueve películas que rodó con contrato con Paramount, tres fueron con cesión a otros estudios, siendo dos de ellas más importantes que sus producciones en Paramount, a excepción de I Walk Alone. Típico de sus años en Paramount, en Sorry, Wrong Number (1948) fue escogida para hacer el tercer papel, pero finalmente hubo de conformarse con un personaje que la situaba en el número trece del reparto.[39] A finales de ese año consiguió un papel de mayor entidad, actuando de nuevo junto a Lizabeth Scott en T....
