There was a Lorraine Miller Day on October 24, 1941 in her home town of Flint, Michigan and Life magazine and Variety had photos and details:

From the November 10, 1941 issue of Life magazine: "Six months ago Lorraine was chosen by Flint's C. I. O. automobile workers as their Perfect Body Girl, and sent to Hollywood to win glory for herself and her sponsors. After appearing briefly in Earl Carroll's night club, Lorraine was hired for a small part in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's new motion picture Ball of Fire."
(Not an MGM film; BALL OF FIRE (Samuel Goldwyn/RKO, 1941) starred Gary Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck.)

From the October 29, 1941 issue of Variety: "... the girl has one of the country's biggest unions as her backers with the whole UAW-CIO sponsoring her career. Less than a year ago they picked her as the Auto Workers queen for their rodeo, with one of those Hollywood junkets as part of the award."

Version 2:

September - October, 1941 newspapers had a number of articles and photos on Lorraine. I found four different photos of Miss Miller wearing a nurse's uniform - and displaying lots of leg. A few quotes from those articles:

"Lorraine Miller, 19-year old former Michigan State college student, went to work at the Samuel Goldwyn studio as a nurse and ended up as an actress."

"Lorraine Miller, only three months ago a student nurse in Michigan, traveled to Hollywood to start her nursing career in the office of ... a studio physician. Spotted by a film director, she was given a screen test and assigned to a part in a movie."

"Lorraine Miller, a tall brunette Samuel Goldwyn decided was too good-looking to remain a nurse, completed her first film role and left today for her home in Flint, Mich., and 'Lorraine Miller Day' next Friday."

In mid 1942, she was at Paramount in an uncredited part in a Bob Hope film. Next was a brief stop at MGM which had her among their group of Ziegfeld Girls (that appeared in ZIEGFELD FOLLIES (MGM, 1945)).

Miss Miller was unfortunate to be cast as eye candy in the dreadful THE WHITE GORILLA (Harry Fraser and Merrick Pictures, 1945). Three Mesquiteers and Range Busters vet Ray Corrigan was the lead and narrated the story. Corrigan also donned his gorilla costume and portrayed the titled white ape. Lots of familiar faces in the cast - George J. Lewis, Charlie King, Budd Buster and oldtimer Francis Ford, the brother of noted director John Ford. Some new footage was shot ... and then they plugged in jungle footage from the silent serial PERILS OF THE JUNGLE (Weiss Brothers Artclass Pictures, 1927) which starred Frank Merrill, Eugenia Gilbert, and youngster Bobby Nelson.

The life of prolific script writer and director Harry Fraser is chronicled in I WENT THAT-A-WAY, The Memoirs of a Western Film Director, HARRY L. FRASER (Scarecrow Press, 1990; edited by Wheeler W. Dixon and Audrey Brown Fraser). Producer Louis Weiss needed a quick (and cheap) movie and he gave the writing and directing job on THE WHITE GORILLA to friend and associate Harry Fraser. It took three days and one night to shoot new scenes to wrap around the extensive PERILS OF THE JUNGLE cliffhanger footage. Fraser said: "And six weeks later that stinker called The White Gorilla opened its run in San Francisco, exploited by garish posters, and the stuffed suit of the white gorilla ..." ; " ... the hokum picture played in movie theaters across the country, making a bundle for several years ..."

Switching to the east coast, Lorraine was cast in the New York stage play "Happy Birthday" which starred Helen Hayes and ran from October, 1946 through March, 1948. Circa April, 1948, she signed with an outfit named U. S. Pictures and traveled to Rome, Italy for a role in RAPTURE (1950). RAPTURE stars were Glenn Langan and Swedish actress Elsy Albion, and Lorraine played Albion's sister. By Fall, 1948, Lorraine was back in New York in the play "Magdalena" at the Ziegfeld Theater.

Newspapers and trade publications reported that Lorraine married actor and director Edward Buzzell in December, 1949 in Palm Springs, California. Eddie Buzzell was about twenty five years older than she, and in the 1940s, he helmed movies at MGM with the Marx Brothers, Esther Williams, more. They divorced circa early 1950s. A few years later, Lorraine tied the knot with James McTaggart.

56 year old Lorraine Almeretta Mctaggart passed on February 6, 1978 in the Los Angeles area. You'll find a link below to her death notice in the February 8, 1978 Los Angeles Times newspaper. It mentions that she was a "Retired actress, appeared in several motion pictures, television and the Broadway production of 'Happy Birthday' with Helen Hayes."

The Family Search website (free), Ancestry.com (subscription), newspapers, and the California Death Index provide more on Lorraine Miller. Her birth name was Lorraine Almeretta Safford, born 1922 in Virginia, parents were Thelma Rulison and Hayward Harold Safford, and Lorraine passed away on February 6, 1978.

Divorces and additional marriages confuse the tracking of Lorraine and family. Mother Thelma was married and divorced several times. As mentioned, Thelma outlived daughter Lorraine and passed away in 1983.

Also married and divorced was Thelma's mother and Lorraine's grandmother, Erma Loraine Dickson. Erma's first husband (and Thelma's father) was Clarence Leonard Rulison. Erma later married Charles W. Miller.

Virginia birth index has Lorraine born January 5, 1922 in Page, Virginia. But her 1949 marriage license as well as Social Security records indicate January 5, 1922 in Norfolk, Virginia.

I've added a few comments which are highlighted in this color:

• February 27, 1901 Eaton County, Michigan marriage record of 22 year old Clarence L.
