Annie Miller

Annie Miller (1835–1925) was an English artists' model who, among others, sat for the members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and John Everett Millais.

When her mother died aged thirty-seven they moved in with relatives and her father worked for a local builder.

For Rossetti she appeared in works such as Dante's Dream on the Day of the Death of Beatrice: 9th of June, 1290 and Helen of Troy.

[4] Thomson then suggested that they threaten to give Annie's trunk full of letters from Hunt to the newspapers.

Hunt's friends assumed that he bought back the letters.Whether or not Miller had a sexual relationship with any of her admirers before her marriage is not known.

Gordon H. Fleming asserts that Ranelagh admitted to Hunt that Miller had been his mistress,[2] but according to Jan Marsh, this might not have been the case.

She is buried in Mill Lane cemetery in an unmarked grave, in plot B.19.7, next to James and Isabelle Slaughter.

Julie Cox voiced her role in Robin Brooks's trilogy of radio plays The Golden Triangle (1998).
