Harry M. Miller

He moved to Australia in 1963,[1] where he established a company called Pan Pacific Productions with Keith and Dennis Wong, owners of the noted Sydney nightclub Chequers.

[7] 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.

[13] The verdict led to the collapse of the company,[12] and he served ten months in prison at Long Bay and Cessnock Correctional Centres.

[citation needed] His agency represented a varied client base of well-known figures in Australia, including all contestants on Big Brother,[14] Lindy Chamberlain,[15] Stuart Diver[15] (the only survivor of the 1997 Thredbo landslide),[16] Judy Moran (wife of slain Melbourne underworld figure Lewis Moran),[17] and Gai Waterhouse (a horseracing trainer).

[2] Miller gave advice and managed communication, negotiations and media attention surrounding individuals or companies that found themselves under intense public spotlight.
