After being discovered by famed producer Hal Wallis, she appeared opposite Lizabeth Scott in the film noir classics 'I Walk Alone' and 'Too Late for Tears.'
Kristine Miller, a Hollywood starlet who appeared opposite film noir legend Lizabeth Scott in the 1940s classics I Walk Alone and Too Late for Tears, has died. She was 90.
Miller died in late 2015 in a hospital in Monterey, Calif., a family spokesman, who did not want to reveal the exact date, told The Hollywood Reporter. Her husband was television entrepreneur William H. Schuyler, who died in December 2013.
Miller had top billing in Jungle Patrol (1948), in which she played an entertainer of the troops who survives an attack during World War II. She also appeared as a mistress in Barbara Stanwyck's Sorry, Wrong Number (1948) and as Donna Reed's roommate in From Here to Eternity(1953).
In I Walk Alone (1948), Miller portrayed a socialite and the girlfriend of Kirk Douglas who famously smacks Burt Lancaster across the face, and in Too Late for Tears, she played the neighbor and sister-in-law of the shady Scott, whom she suspects has committed murder. (She was right.)
Later, Miller starred as Margaret "Jonesy" Jones in the 1950s Republic Pictures syndicated TV series Stories of the Century, about railroad detectives. It won an Emmy for best Western or adventure series.
