Elena Miramova
Elena Miramova (pronounced Yell-AH-na Mee-RAH-mova;〔Mackey, Joseph. ''The Froth Estate.'' Whitefish: Kessinger, 2005. 54.〕 27 May 1901 – 8 July 1992〔"California Death Records." California Department of Health Services, Office of Health Information and Research, Vital Statistics Section. RootsWeb. 1 September 2008. 〕) was a Russian-born actress and playwright.
==Beginnings and training==
Elena Miramova was born in 1901 in Tsaritsyn, Russian Empire (currently, Volgograd, Russia), and emigrated to New York City with a brother who died when she was eleven years old. She worked at a nightgown factory to support herself until a wealthy family with an interest in theatre discovered her and helped put her through school.〔"Miss Miramova Explains." ''The New York Times.'' 11 April 1943. Note: Nellie Cornish, E.M.'s mother, writes that this discovery took place in Detroit.〕 Samuel James Hume, who discovered Miramova, had been director of the Arts and Crafts Theatre in Detroit and became director of the Berkeley Greek Theatre in 1918. The girl had an instant attraction to the stage, and now on stage in Berkeley, Hume felt her Russian accent would limit her in a career in theater.〔Cornish, Nellie C. (1964), Browne, Ellen Van Volkenburg; Beck, Edward Nordhoff, eds., ''Miss Aunt Nellie. The autobiography of Nellie C. Cornish'', foreword by Nancy Wilson Ross, Seattle: Univ. of Washington Press. p. xiii, 142–145.〕 He sent her to study acting and work on her accent at the experimental Cornish School in Seattle in 1922.〔Cornish, Nellie C. (1964), Browne, Ellen Van Volkenburg; Beck, Edward Nordhoff, eds., ''Miss Aunt Nellie. The autobiography of Nellie C. Cornish'', foreword by Nancy Wilson Ross, Seattle: Univ. of Washington Press. p. 144. Note: according to Cornish Miramova was age 10 in 1917 and 15 when she came to her school.〕 After some months, she came at last to live with the school's founder and director, Nellie Cornish, who having "always wanted a daughter of my own" sometime later adopted Miramova.〔Cornish, Nellie C. (1964), Browne, Ellen Van Volkenburg; Beck, Edward Nordhoff, eds., ''Miss Aunt Nellie. The autobiography of Nellie C. Cornish'', foreword by Nancy Wilson Ross, Seattle: Univ. of Washington Press, p. 145.〕 Her training at the Cornish School formed the basis of a successful theatrical career.〔〔Wilmeth, Don B. ''The Cambridge Guide to American Theatre.'' New York: Cambridge UP, 2007. 585.〕
While at the Cornish School she met the Russian singer and director, Vladimir Rosing, who had come there to teach a four-week master class. The close relationship with Rosing would continue in New York, London and later in California.
