June Mansfield Miller (January 7 or 28, 1902 – February 1, 1979)〔Mary V. Dearborn's 1991 biography, ''The Happiest Man Alive: A Biography of Henry Miller'', p. 80, gives June Miller's birthday as January 7, 1902; Robert Ferguson's biography from the same year, ''Henry Miller: A Life'', p. 78, gives her birthday as January 28, 1902.〕〔("June Miller," ) Griceland, September 11, 2012.〕 was the much-written-about and discussed second wife of Henry Miller.
== Early life ==
She was born in Bukovina, România (of Romanian origin as mentioned in ''Sexus'') as Juliet Edith Smerth, the daughter of Wilhelm and Frances Budd Smerth. She emigrated with her parents and four siblings to the United States in 1907. At the age of 15, she dropped out of high school to become a dancer at Wilson's Dancing Academy (renamed the Orpheum Dance Palace in 1931) in Times Square and began going by the name June Mansfield, occasionally going by June Smith.〔Mary V. Dearborn, ''The Happiest Man Alive: A Biography of Henry Miller'', New York: Simon & Schuster, 1991, pp. 79-80.〕 In ''Sexus'', Henry Miller writes that June claimed she graduated from Wellesley College, but in ''Nexus'', he writes that she never finished high school. Kenneth Dick, after interviewing June, quotes her as saying, "My formal education amounted to about three and a half years of high school. I was working on a scholarship to Hunter College."
She would reside in New York City for much of the rest of her life, excepting a tour of Europe and stints in Paris and Arizona.
