Lee Miller in her only film appearance in ’Le sang d'un poète’ (1930), directed by Jean Cocteau. 

Lee Miller (1907–1977) is one of the most remarkable female icons of the 20th century - an individual admired as much for her free-spirit, creativity and intelligence as for her classical beauty. Lee began her modelling career on the cover of American ‘Vogue’, and was photographed by the greatest talents of the day before going to Paris, where she became a highly acclaimed photographer whose worked spanned documentary, portraiture, travel, fashion and advertising, as well as striking experimental Surrealist images. Together with Man Ray (Lee was his student, collaborator, lover and muse), she discovered the photographic technique of solarisation. During the Second World War, she was a war correspondent for Vogue, covering events such as the London Blitz, the liberation of Paris, and the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau. During that time, she was the only official female photojournalist working in combat areas. (x)
