Rachel Miner Net Worth $3 Million
Born to the famous director and acting coach, Peter Miner, and his wife Diane, Rachel apparently knew she wanted to become an actress from the age of two. When she was eight years old she started attending acting lessons, and a year later signed with a talent agent and in no time made her acting debut, portraying Vickie in the television film “Shining Time Station: ‘Tis a Gift”. At 12 years of age, she was chosen by Woody Allen to portray Alice in his romantic comedy film “Alice”, starring Mia Farrow, William Hurt and Joe Mantegna, and two years later she was selected for the part of Michelle Bert Bauer in the soap opera “Guiding Light” – though projected as a recurring role, her character’s involvement was expanded, and she became one of the main cast. Rachel remained in the show until 1995, which significantly increased her net worth.
For the next several years, Rachel didn’t have any notable roles, but then in 2001 luck smiled upon her when she got the part of Lisa Connelly in the crime-drama film “Bully”, starring next to Brad Renfro and Bijou Phillips. Rachel subsequently starred in the action drama film “Circadian Rhythm”, while in 2006 she was rather busy, as she secured roles in several films, including the lead role in the drama “The Still Life”, next to Jason Barry and Terry Moore, and a part in the Academy Award-nominated mystery crime-drama “The Black Dahlia”, with Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson, and Aaron Eckhart in the lead roles, all of which added to her net worth.
Rachel also starred in the horror thriller “Penny Dreadful” alongside Mimi Rogers and Chad Todhunter, and continued with film roles, starring in the drama “The Memory Thief” in 2007 but was also chosen for the part of Dani, a recurring character in the highly-acclaimed TV series “Californication” (2007-2008). In 2009 she played Jenna Reide in the sci-fi thriller “The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations”, and was also cast as Meg Masters in the fantasy drama series “Supernatural” (2009-2013). She had several more film appearances before she decided to retire, which included a supporting role in the horror thriller film “In Their Skin” in 2012, and the lead role in the mystery thriller film “Frank the Bastard” in 2013.
When it comes to her personal life, she was married to fellow actor Macaulay Culkin from 1998 until 2002.
Rachel was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2010, and since then has not only fought the disease but also helped others in their battle. She has used her popularity to spread awareness about this terrible disease, and has supported a number of organizations as well as launching a number of her own campaigns.
