My Take
Miner is the kind of actor I find quietly compelling precisely because she's never chased the spotlight. A child performer who debuted at ten and then took on genuinely difficult, unglamorous roles in films like Bully and The Black Dahlia, she always struck me as someone drawn to substance over star power. I respect performers who keep showing up for the craft even when life throws hard things their way, and her continued presence speaks to real grit. She's not defined by a shelf of trophies, and honestly I think that makes her work more interesting, not less.
