Suzy Miller

Susan Miller (born c. 1949 ) is a British model, dancer, and choreographer. She has acted in several films such as Twenty Nine 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.

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

In 1974, she met James Hunt in Spain. He proposed to her only weeks later, and they were married on October 18, 1974 at Brompton Oratory. The couple were considered "one of the sporting world's most happily married couples." 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. He was also frequently unfaithful and the marriage floundered.

In December 1975, the actor Richard Burton met Suzy Miller at a Swiss ski resort and invited her to return to New York with him. Burton and Miller married on August 21, 1976 in Arlington, Virginia.

During their marriage, Miller was reported to be jealous of Burton's ex-wife Taylor. 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. The theatre's staff removed the offending page from thousands of copies of the program.

In 1981, Burton underwent major surgery for a degenerative spinal condition; his health, and the couple's marriage, subsequently declined.

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.
