EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the charisma and vibrant energy of Marilyn Miller, an American actress, singer, and dancer, in her prime during the 1920s. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on May 15, 1928, showcases Miller in a full-length pose, confidently standing before a simple chair with one hand on her hip. Her direct gaze and bold posture exude an air of self-assurance and allure. Miller's costume adds to the intrigue of the image, as she dons a military uniform, complete with trousers and a jacket. This unexpected choice of attire, combined with her tap shoes peeking out from beneath the hem of her trousers, hints at her versatility as a performer. Known for her talents in both singing and tap dancing, Miller graced the stages of Broadway and beyond, captivating audiences with her unique blend of charm and skill. The portrait, which is part of the collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the rich heritage of American entertainment during the 20th century. The image, captured on nitrate negative film, stands as a still testament to Miller's enduring legacy as a trailblazing actress and performer.
