Miller, Izetta Jewel Kenney Brown, 1883-
Miller began a stage career at 14 and acted with a Washington, D.C., company before her marriage in 1914. She was later involved in the suffrage movement and was one of the first women to run--unsuccessfully--for Congress (1922). She was the first woman to second the nomination of a candidate at a Presidential convention (John W. Davis in 1920), and the first woman to appear in a play on television. Her daughter and granddaughter have also been involved in the theater.
