Elaine Miles Biography
Elaine Miles is one of the most popular and richest TV Actress who was born on April 7, 1960 in Oregon, Oregon, United States. Most well known for her portrayal of Marilyn Whirlwind in the 1990s CBS series Northern Exposure, she is also notable for her appearances in the films Tortilla Heaven (2007) and Fishing Naked (2015). In addition, she pursued careers as a dancer and stand-up comedienne.
She and Sheila Tousey are both well known Native American actresses.
In 1995, Miles was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the Northern Exposure cast in the category, Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Miles was offered the role of Marilyn Whirlwind when she was spotted in the waiting room at an audition. This came as a surprise as she had not come with any intent to audition—she was only there to give her mother, Armenia Miles, a ride. She had no previous acting experience. However, Elaine (“Choppie”) Miles, in her teens, used to work summers, portraying Sacajawea at the Fort Vancouver Historic Site, in Vancouver, Washington. She gained respect in the American Indian community, not only for portraying a Tlingit woman, but for her efforts to make sure the character was a culturally accurate representation. Miles was named Native American Woman of the Year in 1993, and America’s Celebrity Indian of the Year in 1995.
A native of Pendleton, Oregon, and a descendant of members of the Cayuse and Nez Perce Native American tribes, Miles spent the first three years of her life on the Umatilla Reservation in Oregon and the remainder of her childhood in Renton, Washington.
