One Sunday afternoon my husband Peter and I actually stumbled across one of the key City Hall scenes being filmed in San Francisco for the movie “Milk” when we rode our bicycles to the Civic Center Farmers Market. Sean Penn was repeatedly giving one of Harvey Milk’s famous equal rights speeches on the steps of the city building. Everyone was in period costume, and all of the cars on the streets had been replaced with 70′s era vehicles. Sean Penn walked directly past us, maybe two feet away. His transformation into character was so utterly complete, that, even though I knew that it was Sean Penn walking right past me, I had a difficult time believing it. He certainly deserved his Oscar.

I finally watched the movie ‘Milk’ not long ago. Sean Penn was excellent as usual. From looking at that statue, he even has some resemblance to Harvey Milk.
