Susan "Suzy" Miller (married name Susan Hunt) (born 19 May 1949) is a British model, actress, dancer, and choreographer.[1] She has acted in several films such as Twenty Nine (1969) and The Wild Geese (1978).[2] Miller gained notoriety for being married to Formula 1 race driver James Hunt (in 1974), and leaving him for Richard Burton in 1976.[1]
Biography
Miller grew up in Southern Rhodesia (modern Zimbabwe) with her parents, a twin sister and a brother. By the age of 24, she was a successful fashion model in Britain.[3] She was known for being one of the "beautiful people" and for getting whatever she wanted easily.[4] In 1974, she met Hunt in Spain. He proposed to her only weeks later, and they were married the same year.[3][5][6] The wedding, which took place in Kensington, was considered the "society wedding of the year",[6] and the couple were considered "one of the sporting world's most happily married couples."[7]
The couple spent their honeymoon in Antigua with one of Hunt's close friends, also newly married, and then settled in Spain for "tax reasons."[5][6] Later, Miller described feeling that Hunt's career came ahead of everything else in his life.[8] He was also frequently unfaithful and the marriage foundered.[9]
In December 1975, Burton met Miller at a Swiss ski resort and invited her to return to New York with him.[1] Their relationship developed quickly and Burton left Elizabeth Taylor for Miller. Burton allegedly paid Hunt $1 million as part of the divorce settlement between Hunt and Miller.[1][10]
Miller claimed that part of the reason she initially became involved with Burton was so that she could make Hunt jealous.[8] Miller divorced Hunt in Haiti in June 1976.[9] After her divorce from Hunt, she and Burton had a honeymoon of sorts,[11] and were married in August 1976 in Arlington, Virginia, U.S.A.[3][12] During their marriage, Miller was reported to be jealous of Burton's ex-wife Taylor.[13] The marriage between Burton and Miller ended in their 1982 divorce, which was settled in Haiti.[14]
Miller married a third time, to American millionaire Jack Cawood, a real estate developer in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and the couple moved to the United States.[3][15]
Ron Howard's 2013 film, Rush recounts the intrigues surrounding her former husband, Hunt, and the role of Miller is played by Olivia Wilde.[16] At the time, it was reported that Miller was living on the Spanish island of Ibiza.[1]
