Vera Miles, la ‘rubia de Hitchcock’ que se negó a ser la nueva Grace Kelly (y que antepuso ser madre a protagonizar Vértigo)
En la segunda mitad de los años 50, Hitchcock fichó personalmente a Miles con la ambición de llenar el vacío que dejó la entonces nueva esposa de Rainiero de Mónaco, pero ella tenía otras prioridades.

'Psycho' actress Vera Miles put family before fame, stepped away from stardom on her terms: author
For decades, it's been speculated that Vera Miles and director Alfred Hitchcock had bad blood after Vera Miles turned down a role in "Vertigo" to have her third child.

“Men can identify with aging movie stars like Cruise and Pitt based on their personas of keeping a cool head … utilizing their unique expertise to solve a critical problem, and, of course, teaching those young people what they don’t know.” @kelseyweekman.bsky.social www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
The undeniable appeal of the ‘trust me’ movie
A long-running movie trope has become a popular trend. The successes of "Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning," "F1: The Movie" and "Happy Gilmore 2" show it's here to stay.
