MULTIPLE MANIACS [1970, JOHN WATERS]

Born 80 years ago today: indelibly flaming and charismatic leading man in the early “gutter films” of John Waters - David Lochary (21 August 1944 – 29 July 1977), infamous for his performances as Mr. David in Multiple Maniacs (1970), Raymond Marble in Pink Flamingos (1972) and Donald Dasher in Female Trouble (1974) (pictured here with Mary Vivian Pearce as Donna Dasher). Did anyone ever portray debonair perverts better? And let’s remember that it was Lochary who set a young Harris Glenn Milstead (the future Divine) on his path when they met at beauty school. As per Lochary’s Wikipedia page: “Divine later commented that he had "never even heard the word 'drag' before David."” Pic via.

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.
