Harry M. Miller
Harry Maurice Miller (born 6 January 1934) is an Australian promoter, publicist and media agent.
==Early career==
Born in New Zealand, Miller grew up in Grey Lynn, Auckland, and moved to Australia in 1963, where he established a company called Pan Pacific Productions with Keith and Dennis Wong, owners of the noted Sydney nightclub "Chequers". During the 1960s, Pan Pacific promoted many concert and theatrical tours of Australia and New Zealand, including Louis Armstrong, Arthur Rubinstein, The Rolling Stones and The Beach Boys.〔(Papers of Harry Maurice Miller ), National Library of Australia〕 During the mid-1960s Pan Pacific was locked in a fierce competition in the pop tour market with rival promoter Aztec Services Ltd, headed by veteran promoter Kenn Brodziak, but by the late 1960s Miller and Brodziak had become friends and colleagues and subsequently collaborated on many concert and theatrical promotions.
In 1969, Miller discovered 16-year-old American singer Marcia Hines in Boston, Massachusetts, while casting African-American performers for the Australian stage version of ''Hair'', which he was producing. Hines flew to Australia, unaware that she was already six months pregnant, and Miller acted as her legal guardian in Australia until she turned 21.〔Profile: (Marcia Hines ), ''George Negus Tonight'' (ABC), 14 October 2004.〕 Miller went on to produce the acclaimed and highly successful Australian productions of ''Jesus Christ Superstar'' in 1972 and ''The Rocky Horror Show'' in 1974, both of which used many of the production staff from ''Hair''.
In 1970, Miller joined the council of the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and was elected chairman of the gallery's society after his opponent for the position, art patron Mervyn Horton was filmed by the ABC commenting on Miller's Jewish background. As chairman, Miller was instrumental in revitalising the gallery from an austere, staid Sydney institution to a modern, welcoming venue.〔Meacham, Steve: (Hang the expense ), ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 24 May 2003.〕
