Early years

Born Iris Leah Menchel in New York, Milan was the daughter of a furrier.[1] She gave a memorable performance in S1 E33 of "Have Gun Will Travel", playing the chanteuse Mlle. Annette Vargas who inherits a mine in "The Silver Queen", which aired 5/2/1958.

Personal life

Milan married former president of the Dominican Republic Ramfis Trujillo in 1960.[2] They had two sons.[1] In 1969, Trujillo died of pneumonia, following hospitalization for a traffic accident. For years she had a sentimental relationship with the spanish bullfighter Jaime Ostos.[3]

In a 2013 interview, Milan said of her marriage: "It was a gallant kidnapping. He (Trujillo) was a dark prince on a white horse. But at the same time it was my mistake because I could have gone much further as an actress.” She also described herself as "a sad figure. I have a tragic sense of life, although I always try to disguise it with frivolity, a way to alleviate sadness."[4] In 2017 it was reported that Milan lives in Madrid, rarely makes public appearances, and has not appeared on television or film since 1959.[5]
