Jay Sebring

Sebring International

His business, Sebring International, was flourishing, with profitable salons in West Hollywood, New York and London, and Sebring maintained a "playboy" lifestyle, numbering high profile Hollywood personalities such as Warren Beatty among his closest associates. In the summer of 1968, Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate introduced Sebring to Polanski's friend Wojciech Frykowski, and his girlfriend, coffee heiress Abigail Folger, who had recently moved to Los Angeles from New York. Folger later invested in Sebring's hair care products for men.

Though not seeking an acting career, Sebring appeared in an episode of the television show Batman, playing a character based on himself called Mr. Oceanbring. In early May 1969 Sebring opened a new salon at 629 Commercial Street in San Francisco, and a champagne reception followed. Guests included Abigail Folger and her mother Inez, as well as Paul Newman with his wife Joanne Woodward. Sebring's business enterprises continued to flourish.
