The Baltimore Sun reminds us: “Even in death, Divine — the larger-than-life drag queen made famous in John Waters’ films — lives on.” Today, October 19, 2015, would have been Divine’s 70th birthday.
Divine was a mainstay of John Waters films, notably “Multiple Maniacs,” “Pink Flamingos,” “Polyester,” and “Hairspray.” Her gravesite, in Towson, Maryland, is regularly decorated by fans and admirers.
