Harris Glenn Milstead: Born October 19, 1945

Posted in Other Notable Birthdays by Christy

~”We Talk to John Waters and Pat Moran About Divine’s 70th Birthday” (2015)
His friends remember the legendary drag queen

Milstead met maverick film director & good friend, John Waters, at high school in Baltimore, and the two combined to star in and direct several ultra low budget, taboo breaking cult films of the early 1970s. Their first efforts included Roman Candles (1966), Eat Your Makeup (1968) and Mondo Trasho (1969)….however, their most infamous work together was the amazing Pink Flamingos (1972), in which Divine starred as “Babs Johnson”, the “filthiest person alive” living in a pink trailer with her egg-eating grandmother, chicken-loving son and voyeuristic daughter.
