Miranda Wilson was born September 10, 1960 in Omaha, Nebraska. She began her acting career in 1984, playing Megan Hathaway Dimera on DAYS OF OUR LIVE. She was awarded as Outstanding Villainess in a Daytime Serial 1985. In 1986 she played Kate Wells on CAPITOL.  Before SB, she was known as Cheryl Ann Wilson. Miranda came to SANTA BARBARA in January 1989 as Sandra Mills, the psychic.  “I loved playing Sandra,” she said “and I loved working with the innovative production team. Especially directors who were really able to be present with the actors and let the camera "follow us around" sometimes. We still had blocking of the scenes but there always seemed to be a finger on the button to switch cameras in the case something more interesting came up than they had planned. It was exciting work.” But her SB experience didn’t last very much. In fact she left the show after just six months. “The excecutive at NBC in charge of daytime TV, changed.”she recall “The next executive, apparently, had no interest in a storyline about a psychic. I was told he didn't believe in psychics and was therefore stopping the storyline. As I said previously, it suited me just fine, at the time.”

After SB she felt in love. Got married. Had babies. Became deeply involved in natural healing, early childhood development and education. Ventured into the areas of quantum physics and the new science of healing. So we can say that Miranda Wilson turned into Sandra Mills. Follow Miranda on Twitter!
