'The Artist' Star Penelope Ann Miller Pulls Plug on Separation

"The Artist" actress Penelope Ann Miller -- who played Doris in the Academy Award-winning film -- has changed her mind about splitting from her husband of 12 years ... yanking her recent request for legal separation.

TMZ broke the story 48-year-old Miller filed for separation from her husband James Huggins back in March, citing "irreconcilable differences." The couple was married in 2000 and has two children.

But Miller has had a change of heart -- and just filed papers in L.A. dismissing her separation request.
