Sarah MileS
"I was lucky... to start with, that is! However, I vowed I'd never do violent films, for they can influence the personality; never do special effects films, for they cannot penetrate the soul level - and I never did a commercial, because I didn’t believe in the products I was asked to sell, had I been asked to sell silence or pee-drinking, that would have been a different matter."
— SARAH MILES
Sarah Miles' latest memoir chronicles her extremely unique journey from wartime Essex to Hollywood stardom. Written with characteristic honesty and wit, it explores her Academy Award-nominated performance in Ryan's Daughter, her two marriages to playwright Robert Bolt, and her spiritual awakening
Life in Abundance
Born six weeks early on New Year's Eve 1941 (or 1942, because no one was checking the time.) Sarah Miles was discovered at RADA by Sir John Gielgud and cast opposite Laurence Olivier at nineteen. Her fearless performances in The Servant, Blowup, and Ryan's Daughter established her as one of British cinema's most compelling actresses. She now lives quietly in the English countryside, writing with the same honesty she brought to her performances.
