Olivette Miller

[5][6] Miller joined Noble Sissle's orchestra in 1937,[7] and toured with them in Europe with the USO during World War II.

[5][8] She also played as a solo act,[9] and was billed as "the World's Greatest Swing Harpist" when she performed on tour and in Las Vegas in the 1940s and 1950s.

In 1972, Miller sued comedian Flip Wilson, Michael Jackson, and others for $500,000 for infringing on her father's intellectual property.

She wrote and tried to shepherd into production a biographical film about her father, focusing on how his comedy act was exploited by white producers.

[15] In 1976 she wrote and co-produced The Show Folks, a syndicated situation comedy for television, starring her ex-husband, dancer Freddie Gordon, with Carole La Mond and DeForest Covan.
