James Miner

The Royal Family of the Miners has stood at the forefront of show business since its inception, with a proud history of esteemed talent in the theatre, film, and television. Rachel Miner, the third generation of the illustrious family, began her storied career at the age of ten, having already worked with Woody Allen and earned various awards, including three Young Artist Awards and an Emmy Nomination, for her role as “Michelle Bauer” on Guiding Light (1952) over a five-year contract. Her father, Peter Miner, was an Emmy-winning director, and her ancestor, Worthington Miner, was a true pioneer of television, writing and producing important programs, and developing crew positions still used to this day. Frances Fuller, another ancestor, was a prominent actress on Broadway, appearing in 'The Front Page' (1928) and winning praise from Brooks Atkinson and other reviewers, while Caila Lavine is known for her work in Ladies Night (2014), The Council (2014) and Fully Engaged (2015). With their royal heritage, the Miners have faithfully served their craft, and have brought honor and prestige to their name.
