Christa Miller was introduced to the entertainment world at a very
young age. As a toddler, she was photographed by the acclaimed Francesco Scavullo
for an Ivory Snow ad with her mother, and, at the age of three,
appeared on the cover of "Redbook". Miller was bitten by the acting bug
as a child, but couldn't pursue her passion because her parents had
other plans for her. Her father hoped she'd have a law career, while
her mother, a 1960s supermodel, knew all too well how tough a career in
entertainment could be. Despite her parents' concern and her rigorous
studies at the Convent of the Sacred Heart, she pursued a modeling
career. She appeared in national magazines while working steadily in
Europe and Japan. She landed her first commercial (for Polaroid) at age
16. Her first prime-time television role was on Kate & Allie (1984), a part she
auditioned for and landed without the help of her aunt, series co-star
Susan Saint James. Upon moving to Los Angeles in 1990, Miller won a guest role in
an episode of Northern Exposure (1990). Other television credits include guest roles on
Seinfeld (1989), Party of Five (1994) and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990). Her film credits include Deceived (1991) and
Love and Happiness (1995). She also starred with Kellie Martin in the acclaimed
made-for-television movie Death of a Cheerleader (1994).
