Susan Miller (born c. 1949[1]) is a British model, dancer, and choreographer.[2] She has acted in several films such as Twenty Nine (1969) and The Wild Geese (1978). Miller gained notoriety for being married to Formula 1 race driver James Hunt (in 1974), and leaving him for Richard Burton in 1976.[2]

Biography

Miller grew up in Southern Rhodesia (modern Zimbabwe) with her parents, her twin sister and their brother.

By the age of 24, she was a successful fashion model in Britain.[3] She was known for being one of the "beautiful people" and for getting easily whatever she wanted. [4]

In 1974, she met James Hunt in Spain. He proposed to her only weeks later, and they were married the same year.[3][5] The couple were considered "one of the sporting world's most happily married couples."[6] The couple spent their honeymoon in Antigua with one of Hunt's close friends, also newly married, and then settled in Spain for tax reasons.[5] Later, Miller described feeling that Hunt's career came ahead of everything else in his life.[7] He was also frequently unfaithful and the marriage floundered.[8]

In December 1975, the actor Richard Burton met Miller at a Swiss ski resort and invited her to return to New York with him.[2] Their relationship developed quickly and Burton left Elizabeth Taylor for Miller. Burton allegedly paid Hunt $1 million as part of the divorce settlement between Hunt and Miller.[2] Miller claimed that part of the reason she initially became involved with Burton was so that she could make Hunt jealous.[7] Miller divorced Hunt in Haiti in June 1976.[8][9] Burton and Miller married in August 1976 in Arlington, Virginia, U.S.[3][10]

During their marriage, Miller was reported to be jealous of Burton's ex-wife Taylor.[11] An interesting anecdote involves Miller's jealous insistence that, while Burton was appearing in a revival of Camelot in Toronto, a page from the program displaying an advertisement of Taylor's jewelry line must be removed from every copy or Burton would not go on. Trying to keep peace with his wife, Burton acquiesced and the theatre's staff had to remove the offending page from thousands of copies of the program.

The marriage between Burton and Miller ended in their 1982 divorce, which was settled in Haiti.[12]

Miller married a third time, to American millionaire Jack Cawood, a real estate developer in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and the couple moved to the United States.[3][13]

Film portrayal

Ron Howard's 2013 film Rush recounts the intrigues surrounding her former husband, Hunt, with the role of Miller being played by Olivia Wilde.[2]
