Sharron Miller is an American television and film director, producer, and screenwriter. She is one of the pioneering women directors who worked regularly in mainstream Hollywood in the 1970s and 1980s (along with Joan Darling, Joan Micklin Silver, Karen Arthur, Gabrielle Beaumont, Lela Swift, and Kim Friedman).〔http://articles.latimes.com/1986-11-18/entertainment/ca-8146_1_women-directors〕 In 1983 she was the first woman ever to win the coveted Directors Guild of America Award (DGA Award) for directing a narrative (non-documentary) work.〔http://www.dga.org/Awards/History/1980s/1983.aspx〕〔http://articles.latimes.com/1987-03-04/entertainment/ca-4583_1_dga-nomination〕〔http://www.dga.org/Craft/DGAQ/All-Articles/0704-Winter-2007-08/Celebrating-Excellence-DGA-Awards.aspx〕 ==Career== Born in Enid, Oklahoma and raised in Perry, Oklahoma, Miller began writing and directing short films as a teenager.〔http://www.cherokee-strip-museum.org/Beers/Beers-19950814.htm〕 After graduating from Oklahoma State University in 1971 with a degree in Theatre, she attended graduate school at Northwestern University. In 1972, she went to Hollywood and worked as a script supervisor, sound editor, and film editor before becoming a professional director in 1976 when she was hired to direct the NBC television series, The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams. This made her one of the tiny number of women directing in Hollywood at that time. She has written and directed several short films, but the majority of her work has been in television where she has had a long and prolific career directing television movies and series. Early in her career she studied with acting teachers Jack Garfein, Harold Clurman, and Jeff Corey, and has demonstrated an ability to elicit strong performances from actors. Sharon Gless, Cloris Leachman and Peggy McCay all won Emmy Awards under her direction, and James Stacy received an Emmy nomination. In 1983 Miller won the DGA Award, two Emmy Awards,〔10th Daytime Emmy Awards#Outstanding Children.27s Entertainment Special〕 the Peabody Award〔http://www.peabodyawards.com/award-profile/the-woman-who-willed-a-miracle〕 and the Christopher Award〔http://www.imdb.com/event/ev0000169/1984〕〔http://www.christophers.org/page.aspx?pid=217〕 for the Afterschool Special she produced and directed, ''The Woman Who Willed a Miracle''.〔http://www.nytimes.com/movies/movie/55066/The-Woman-Who-Willed-a-Miracle/overview〕〔The Woman Who Willed a Miracle〕〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0237930/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_27〕 This true-life drama is about Leslie Lemke, the blind and mentally retarded boy with cerebral palsy who became world-famous as a savant pianist.
