Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Rachel Miner" in English language version.
Actress Rachel Miner was born in New York City on this day in 1980. This birthday star has portrayed Meg Masters on the long-running CW series 'Supernatural' since 2009. She has also appeared on episodes of 'Chicago Fire,' Monsters and Fables,' and 'Sons of Anarchy.' On the big screen, Miner's film work includes roles in 'In Their Skin,' 'Frank the Bastard' and 'The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations.'
Her father is Peter Miner, a longtime director on One Life to Live. [...] 'I've been working with my acting teacher, Karen Anthony, for a long time.' [...] My parents don't dictate to me,' says Miner. 'They don't treat me like a kid. We discuss everything, and they let me make my own decisions.' Perhaps the best example of this "supervised freedom" is the way they dealt with Rachel's decision - at age 9 - to become a vegetarian. 'I love animals and want to work with them when I grow up,' Miner says. 'They give so much; I want to give back. I knew I didn't want to eat them. But my mom was worried I wouldn't get enough protein, so she researched it to see how to do it right.' Miner names Jodie Foster as her favorite actress. She admires Foster because 'you can always tell in Jodie Foster's eyes that she's worked out the whole character's past. It is not as if the character was born when the movie started. I would also like to get to play the variety of parts that she gets to play.'
Frances Fuller, an actress and former president and director of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, died Thursday evening at her West Side home. She was 73 years old. [...] Miss Fuller was president and director of the Academy from 1954 to 1964, continuing as director until 1974. In the last six years, she was co-chairman of the school with her husband, Worthington Miner, the stage director and producer and a pioneer of television drama. [...] Besides her husband, she leaves a son, Peter Miner of Manhattan, who is a television director; two daughters, Margaret Rawson of Brooklyn and Mary Elizabeth Miner of Manhattan, and seven grandchildren.
Miner met Culkin at New York's Professional Children's School, a private high school geared toward young performers, in 1997. [...] [W]hen she's home in New York, she shares her apartment with three formerly stray cats. A vegetarian since age 9, Miner is passionate about animal rights and has so far rescued and found owners for 16 cats and dogs. 'At one point, I think she had 20 animals - cats, birds, reptiles,' says friend Natalie Portman, who costarred with Miner on Broadway in The Diary of Anne Frank. 'She's really happiest taking care of others.'
She won Best Actress award at last year's Stockholm Film Festival for her starring role as a teen-age murderess in the independent true-crime flick "Bully," a film most teens would consider a love story gone wrong but most parents would view as a terrifying horror movie. It's just now out on video, providing Miner with a little more fame, if not so much fortune.
