Biography of Marvin Miller
He Announces, Acts, Writes, Direct and Has Spare Time
Announcer Marvin Miller, who began public appearances at the
age of nine, had acquired such a repertoire by the time he applied for his
first job that he was able to perform 42 parts in a single show which he wrote
himself.
That was back in 1931 in St. Louis. The following year he
became a junior announcer and actor and, in 1919, he added continuity writing
and dramatic directing to his assignments.
Miller, now announcer-actor on NBC’s “Father Knows Best.” “TheRailroad Hour” and “Aunt Mary,” moved to Chicago soon after and in 1944 to Hollywood,
where he has been so busy that he has had only one two-weeks vacation. Featured
roles in movies have been helped build that full schedule as well as many
recordings in which Miller has been both narrator and actor for all the parts.
He was born in St. Louis as Marvin Elliott Mueller and was
graduated from Washington University there. He went into radio immediately
after leaving college. He is married to Elizabeth Dawson, an artist. They have
one child, Anthony. All three are fond of sailing and have their own sloop at
nearby Balboa Island.
Miller, who would appear to have no “spare” time,
nevertheless finds some in which to continue the writing he originally hoped to
make his career. Some of his poetry and feature articles have been published. An
amateur gourmet, he also has written several pieces on good dining: To relax,
he tinkers at wood-working, book binding and sketching.
