life and work

Rebecca Miller is the daughter of the writer Arthur Miller and the photographer Inge Morath . Before becoming an actress, she studied painting at Yale University . Then in 1984 she received a scholarship for the artist house Villa Waldberta in Feldafing . Attending a performance of Fellini's La Dolce Vita at the Munich Film Museum drew her interest in filmmaking.

With her first work "When she saw his shoes, she knew that she would leave her husband" (in the English original: Personal Velocity ), she became internationally known as a writer. The film adaptation of three stories of the book, directed by Rebecca Miller herself, won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival . Her film The Ballad of Jack and Rose was shown at the Berlinale 2005 . In the same year, John Madden's film The Proof - Love Between Genius and Madness , based on the award-winning play of the same name by David Auburn , was released in the USA in mid-September . Rebecca Miller adapted the complex material together with Auburn for the big screen.
