Milton Miron
- Actor
- Writer
- Director
After receiving a Masters degree in Business, Milton Miron adopted the
name "Sebastian" (inspired by
Johann Sebastian Bach). From 1967
to 1971 he was an accountant for legendary rock impresario
Bill Graham in San Francisco. In
1970 he was screening independent and vintage movies in San Francisco's
Palace Theatre at midnight on weekends. When a group of gender-bending
drag queens and their friends started throwing live shows together as
an almost impromptu prologue, Sebastian offered to organize and produce
their nocturnal fantasies. In the early 1970s the "Cockette" shows
became wildly popular with the pot-smoking, acid-dropping free spirits
of San Francisco. His management of the Cockettes lasted until 1972. He
also directed their only film,
Tricia's Wedding (1971), a
grossly satirical spoof on the June 1971 wedding of
Tricia Nixon and
Edward Cox. Miron has also been
involved with filmmaking, having made six short films including "Adolph
& Eva." He also wrote and directed "Heartbreak of Psoriasis" starring
Divine. He owns his own successful tax
preparation and accounting business.
