She was born in New York City, the daughter of model Bonnie Trompeter. Miller was a model as a child, appearing in a Wonder Bread commercial when she was six months old, posing at three for Francesco Scavullo in an Ivory soap advertisement, and photographed for the cover of Redbook. Her days as a child model were curtailed after an operation for a benign bone tumor. After attending Convent of the Sacred Heart, Miller returned briefly to modeling, but soon took acting lessons,and gave up modelling, when she moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1990. She was on the first edition of the American Maxim.
Her first role on television was in Kate & Allie, which starred her real-life aunt, Susan Saint James. She was also in episodes of Northern Exposure, Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Party of Five. She had a major role on The Drew Carey Show from 1995 to 2002 playing Kate O'Brien, and was the voice of Cleopatra in her husband's short-lived animated show Clone High.
In 2001, her husband, writer-producer Bill Lawrence, conceived a new show called Scrubs and Miller was given a recurring guest role as surly Dr. Cox's (John C. McGinley) equally bitter ex-wife Jordan Sullivan, a role that increased after season 2. She maintained this minor, but crucial role, in later seasons.
Miller also appeared twice in Seinfeld, as two different characters. In "The Sniffing Accountant", she was the boss of George Costanza's potential employer; in "The Doodle", she was a woman whom George unsuccessfully dates.
Miller has three children with Bill Lawrence: Charlotte Sarah, born on June 8, 2000; William Stoddard, born on January 3, 2003; and Henry Vanduzer, born on October 8, 2006.
