Harry Denton, a gay man and club owner who came up with the idea for the popular former "Sunday's A Drag" show at his eponymous Starlight Room atop the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco's Union Square, died August 22.
He was 77. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Mr. Denton died in Seattle, where he had been living in the care of his brother, Jim Denton, since suffering a major stroke several years ago in San Francisco.
He passed away in a nursing home of natural causes, his brother told the paper. While Mr. Denton ran several bars over the years, he is best known for Harry Denton's Starlight Room at the Sir Francis Drake.
