Biography

Miller had been working as a fashion model before she married Hunt.[3] The couple lived in Spain for "tax reasons."[3] At the time of their marriage, they were considered "one of the sporting world's most happily married couples."[4]

Burton had left Elizabeth Taylor for Miller and allegedly paid Hunt one million dollars as part of the divorce settlement.[1][5] The marriage between Burton and Miller ended in their 1982 divorce, which was settled in Haiti.[6] Ron Howard's 2013 film, Rush recounts the intrigues surrounding her former husband, Hunt, and the role of Suzy Miller is played by Olivia Wilde.[7]
