Movie Info
Young, chubby Harris Glenn Milstead liked musicals, was drawn to feminine pursuits, and was bullied. He was privately playing "dress-up games" in his mother's clothes. By 1963, Glenn was brave enough to show up at a party with his then girlfriend dressed as an astonishingly passable Elizabeth Taylor, among the many glamorous stars he openly idolized.

This documentary reminds us of Divine's audacious and unique impact on both film and American culture. It's also a great way to celebrate the talented actor who gave us Divine.
Hard to beat for sheer enjoyment,as when Divine's mother remembers: 'I used to always say, Glenn, don't do anything to embarrass us' -- a sound bite juxtaposed with footage of Divine being raped by a giant lobster in 'Multiple Maniacs.'
A heartfelt, loving homage to its subject, a larger-than-life personality who proved that the traditional roads to fame weren't the only options for a shy, gay Baltimore boy who wanted to be famous.
It made me fall in love with Divine all over again.
Although the story ends sadly (no one should die at age 42), the film itself is not sad, but is instead a celebration of a performer who made the most out of the talents he had.
