Miriam Jordan, an English-born actress, had a fleeting career in the motion picture industry. Her journey began when she won a beauty contest while working as a typist in London, which led to her introduction to the stage. Seeking fame and fortune in America, she was cast in the 1928 film "Three Cheers" alongside Will Rogers, where she had a single scene walking down stairs while modeling a stunning gown.
Between 1932 and 1934, Jordan appeared in a limited number of films alongside declining male stars Warner Baxter and Clive Brook, but this did little to advance her own career. In the 1932 film "Sherlock Holmes," she and co-star Clive Brook were overshadowed by character actor Ernest Torrence, who played the role of Professor Moriarty.
Miriam's most notable moment was in the 1933 film "I Loved You Wednesday," which was jointly directed by Henry King and William Cameron Menzies. She was billed fourth in the part of Cynthia Williams and received praise from The New York Times for her "splendid" performance. However, this was the height of her career, and she was last seen in a short-lived Broadway production of "Michael Drops In" in 1938.
