David Scott Milton
David Scott Milton (born September 15, 1934) is an American author, playwright, screenwriter, and actor. His plays are known for their theatricality, wild humor, and poetic realism, while his novels and films are darker and more naturalistic. As a novelist, he has been compared to Graham Greene, John Steinbeck, and Nelson Algren. Ben Gazzara’s performance in Milton’s play, ''Duet'', received a Tony nomination. Another play, ''Skin'', won the Neil Simon Playwrights Award. His theater piece, ''Murderers Are My Life'', was nominated as best one-man show by the Valley Theater League of Los Angeles. His second novel, ''Paradise Road'', was given the ''Mark Twain Journal'' award "for significant contribution to American literature."
==Early years==
Milton was born during the Great Depression to a working class Jewish family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He's of Romanian descent with his grandparents having immigrated from a small village near Botoşani, Romania. His father, Si “Lefty” Milton was a prize-fighter whose career was abruptly ended by the great Fritzie Zivic. He became a truck driver, then a yeast salesman, and finally a bakery owner. Milton’s work as an apprentice baker contributed to his play, ''Bread'', which debuted at The American Place Theater in New York and had a successful run at the Theater Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany. ''Duet'' which opened on Broadway in the mid-seventies also had productions in German at the Kreis Theater in Vienna, Austria. In the spring of 1996, it had its premiere in Germany at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. A new play, ''Catching a Cab'', under the auspices of Gustav Kiepenheuer, has also been optioned for German production.
Milton was an early member of the avant-garde Theatre Genesis, along with Sam Shepard, Leonard Melfi and Murray Mednick. He has had more than a dozen plays performed Off-Off-Broadway including ''The Interrogation Room'', ''Halloween Mask'', ''The Metaphysical Cop'', and ''Scraping Bottom''. ''Scraping Bottom'', under the title of ''Born to Win'', became the Czech director Ivan Passer's first American film, and starred George Segal, Karen Black and Paula Prentiss. Pauline Kael has characterized this title change as perhaps the most extreme in the history of American cinema.
