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.

When we found out we could book her/him we did!

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.
