Houston, Texas, USA:
Johnnie Lucille Collier, conosciuta professionalmente come Ann Miller (nata il 12 aprile 1923 a Chireno, in Texas, e morta il 22 gennaio 2004 a Los Angeles, in California), è stata un'attrice, cantante e ballerina statunitense, celebre soprattutto per la sua carriera nel cinema musicale hollywoodiano. Dopo aver iniziato a esibirsi professionalmente ancora adolescente, Miller debutta al cinema negli anni Quaranta e firma un contratto con la Columbia Pictures. Successivamente lavora per la RKO e la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, diventando una delle principali interpreti dei musical hollywoodiani grazie alla sua abilità nella danza e al caratteristico stile energico. Tra i suoi film più importanti figurano On the Town (1949), Kiss Me, Kate (1953), Deep in My Heart (1954), Hit the Deck (1955) e Mulholland Drive (1990). È particolarmente ricordata per le sue collaborazioni con Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly e altri grandi protagonisti del musical americano. Oltre al cinema, Miller ha avuto una lunga carriera teatrale e televisiva, tornando frequentemente al musical anche dopo il declino dell'epoca d'oro di Hollywood. È rimasta una figura iconica della danza e del cinema musicale statunitense, nota per la sua straordinaria tecnica, i numeri di tip tap e la presenza scenica.
