Starring: Melanie Griffith, Stephen Dorff, Alicia Witt, Adrian Grenier, Michael Shannon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Larry Gilliard, Jr., Zenzele Uzoma, Ricki Lake, Eric Roberts, Patricia Hearst, and Mink Stole

Klaxon! Today is a holy day! The truly glorious and versatile John Waters character actress Mink Stole (née Nancy Paine Stoll on 25 August 1947) turns 77! You probably know her best as Connie Marble in Pink Flamingos (1972) or Taffy in Female Trouble (1974), but I’d argue Stole’s crowning achievement is her performance as Peggy Gravel in Desperate Living (1977) (pictured). Who can forget the unstable Peggy ranting and raving in its opening minutes? (“Have I gone to Hell? Is that it? Have I gone straight to Hell?” and screaming at a child "Go home and tell your mother I hate her! Tell your mother -- I hate YOU!"). Some fun facts: Pleasant Gehman interviewed Stole on her podcast The Devil’s Music last year. While she’s synonymous with Baltimore, Stole has resided in Los Angeles for years. And it may come as no surprise that being a beloved cult cinema icon isn’t exactly lucrative. For decades Stole maintained a day job as a legal secretary.
