FYI, the exact dates of Divine's life were Oct 19, 1945-Mar 7, 1988, in case you wish to amend the listing.

Thanks Francois. Will add your info.

Divine was in the John Waters film, Hairspray. I loved Hairspray. Ricki Lake was good in that but Divine was great.

I remember a performance by divine in a dicotheque in Utrecht(holland). this was when shoot your shot was about to shoot the charts. A heavily overweighted dragg-queen, who after his performance came from backstage wearing a pantyhose over his hair. amazing performance but with a total bummer at the end.

All hail the Queen.
When we found out we could book her/him we did!

Great person. Wish we still had him.

You should credit the photographer when you post these photos. The Photo of Divine with the Cockettes was taken by Clay Geerdes.

I have a dumb question so humor me, but is this the same Divine that did the song 'Native Love' in the 80s?

Wonderful performer and is missed very much.

DIVINE!!! What a character? He was Flaming, flamboyant and fuckin scary looking!!From eating dog poop in a John Walter's movie to eating everything that fit in his mouth. Outrageous and insane, I saw him in Miami's FIRE & ICE in the early eighties. He put on a show that words can't describe. Think of anything outrageous, he did that and more. What a foul mouth as well! On stage he sounded like a drunken trucker trying to pick up a cheap hooker at a truck stop. All that aside, he was a poster child for transvesties, a great representation of the word FREEDOM. He was a STAR for the far-out personalities of America, and he made a few DISCO recordings that were classic if not CLASSICS. May he rest in peace, the world will miss this EXPERIENCE!!
