Film Biography
In 1949, a sanitized biopic, appropriately titled Look for the Silver Lining, starred June Haver as Marilyn Miller. Miller was also portrayed by Judy Garland in MGM's film biography of Jerome Kern, Till the Clouds Roll By (1946). Rare film footage of the real Miller can be seen in the 2004 PBS documentary series Broadway, the American Musical.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or biography:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
—Rebecca West [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)
