Miles enrolled at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) at the age of 15. Shortly after finishing at RADA, Miles debuted as Shirley Taylor, a “husky wide-eyed nymphet” in Term of Trial (1962), which featured Laurence Olivier; she was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Newcomer. Soon afterwards, Miles had a role as “Vera from Manchester” in Joseph Losey’s The Servant (1963), and “thrust sexual appetite into British films” according to David Thomson. She gained another BAFTA nomination, this time as Best Actress. She had a “peripheral” part in Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blowup (1966). a director she thought (at his death in 2007) was “a rogue and a tyrant and a brilliant man”.
After acting in a several plays from 1966 to 1969, Miles was cast as Rosy in the leading title role of David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter (1970). A critically savaged flop which discouraged Lean from making a film for some years, Miles’ performance did gain her an an Oscar nomination. In Terence Pettigrew’s biography of Trevor Howard, Miles describes the filming of Ryan’s Daughter in Ireland in 1969. She recalls, “My main memory is of sitting on a hilltop in a caravan at six in the morning in the rain. There was no other actor or member of the crew around me. I would sit there getting mad, waiting for either the rain to stop or someone to arrive. Film-acting is so horrifically belittling.”
On 11 February 1973, while filming The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing, David Whiting, briefly one of her lovers, was found dead in her motel room. She was charged and acquitted of culpability in his death. Miles later commented: “It went on for six months. Murder? Suicide? Murder! Suicide! Murder! Suicide! And, gradually, the truth came out, which I’m not going to speak about, but it certainly wasn’t me. I had actually saved the man from three suicide attempts so why would I want to murder him? I really can’t imagine.”
Her performance as Anne Osborne in The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea (1976) was nominated for a Golden Globe. Interviewer Lynn Barber wrote of Miles’ appearances in Hope and Glory, White Mischief and her two earliest films that she “has that Vanessa Redgrave quality of seeming to have one skin fewer than normal people, so that the emotion comes over unmuffled and bare.”
