Auction History Result 3k656 VERA MILES 8x10 still '57 standing cheesecake photo that was banned by Alfred Hitchcock! Date Sold 7/17/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Vera Miles is an actress from the 1950s to the 1980s. She was "Miss Kansas" in 1948 and came in third in the Miss America Pageant that year. She was signed by John Ford and appeared in two of his best movies, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Searchers. She was then signed by Alfred Hitchcock, who saw her as "the new Grace Kelly", and she appeared in two of his movies, Psycho and the Wrong Man, and she was also in several episodes of his TV show. She was supposed to star in Vertigo, but she had to withdraw when she became pregnant, and she had four children in the 1950s and 1960s, and that severely curtailed her career, which likely would have included many more memorable film roles. As of 2021, Miles is still alive at the age of 91! Important Added Info: Note that the snipe on the still explains that Alfred Hitchcock had Vera Miles under contract at this time, and that he had a clause in her contract that said that she can't pose for any "cheesecake" photos, and that the producers of Beau James were suing Hitchcock to invalidate that part of the contract! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
