Sylvia Miles Facts
Infamous for dumping a plate of pasta on the head of dyspeptic theater critic John Simon of New York magazine in The Ginger Man, a New York City restaurant, after he gave her a nasty, scathing review in a 1973 play.

A fixture on NYC's party scene, she took over colleague Andy Warhol's mantle (after his death) of appearing at seemingly every movie or gallery opening in Manhattan.

Second husband Gerald Price was a NY stage actor and was instrumental in prompting Sylvia to take an avid interest in developing a stage career in the mid-50s.
