bi-weekly column in which we revive a conversation from deep in the archives for your viewing pleasure. This time, we honor Divine by revisiting herfields questions from Hal Rubenstein about John Waters,HAL RUBENSTEIN: Well, surprise, surprise. After fostering a screen image that combined the best of Joan Crawford, Ida Lupinom and Broderick Crawford, you’ve turned into Myrna Loy.HairsprayDIVINE: No, I am sweet. It’s just that no one asked to see this side of me before.
DIVINE: No, I always had very macho taste in movies. I love blood and guts and tear-it-ups and shoot-outs. I never miss a Stallone film. I’ve seen all of Charles Bronson’s.DIVINE: It was definitely John’s idea.DIVINE: At first, it wasn’t any big deal. John wanted to make Brownie 8mm movies. He used his friends. He cammed me Divine because he thought I was, and someone else was Mink Stole—her real name was Nancy Stole; she lived around the corner. Someone else was Extreme Unction.
RUBENSTEIN: But is the typecasting all their fault? It’s not as if you made a sensitive feature film debut, like Timothy Hutton inwas one filthy word after the other because it was a $12,000 movie playing up against, which cost $40 million, and something had to be done to get us noticed. It was a gimmick. And whether people liked it or hated it, they talked about it and they wrote about it.
DIVINE: It’s too bad she can’t be more honest with herself. I admire Bette, because look at that career! To have played the baths as this raunchy babe and end up with a Walt Disney contract is quite amazing. But she was awfully aware of what was going on. She wasn’t stupid, what with all the gay friends she had. She was an ambitious girl and knew it was a great following to have as a base—one she badly needed, considering the act she was doing at the beginning.
RUBENSTEIN: Do you think size might have had anything to do with the paucity of roles for you in the past?
