Harris Glenn Milstead: Born October 19, 1945
~”We Talk to John Waters and Pat Moran About Divine’s 70th Birthday” (2015)

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.
