Born in Savannah, Georgia in 1902 and brought up in nearby Bainbridge, Miriam Hopkins spent most of her formative years with her maternal grandmother. She received her secondary education in Barre, Vermont and then Syracuse University. Upon graduation, she went to New York to become a ballet dancer, but instead gravitated towards Broadway revues and vaudeville instead. After ten years on the stage as a successful actress, she joined Paramount in 1930 and became one of Hollywood's top-ranking stars with an Academy Award nomination for "Becky Sharp" in 1936. She returned to the stage as her movie career slowed in the forties. She died in New York City in 1972.
