MULTIPLE MANIACS [1970, JOHN WATERS]

[bitter69uk]

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.

"We were stupefied that he died. I've never gotten over the shock of it. I’m still shocked he’s dead. I wake up sometimes and I’m amazed by that." John Waters.

A moment of silence for a hog princess, please! Baltimore’s finest export, the fabulous Divine (né Harris Glenn Milstead, 19 October 1945 – 7 March 1988) died on this day precisely 37 years ago aged just 42. John Waters’ toilet-mouthed muse and leading lady of choice, cult cinema actor / actress, drag monster, raspy-voiced hi-NRG disco chanteuse, hybrid of Jayne Mansfield and Godzilla designed to scare hippies, all-round freak diva extraordinaire and eternal role model for punks, queers and misfits everywhere - Divine is the mutha of us all! Do something extra filthy in his memory today! Pictured: austere portrait of Divine by the great Peter Hujar at the Metropolitan Museum, 1976.
