Film star 'Divine' dies
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Harris Glenn Milstead, known to moviegoers as Divine, the campy, 300-pound transvestite star of such films as "Pink Flamingos" and "Hairspray," died while sleeping in a hotel room, a spokesman said yesterday. He was 42.
Milstead apparently died of asphyxiation, and the Los Angeles County coroner's office has begun an investigation into John West of PMK Public Relations.
He said Milstead, star of the latest John Waters-directed star, "Hairspray," was in Los Angeles to appear in an episode of the syndicated television series "Married . . . With Children."
Milstead to have appeared in that role dressed as a man, but he was best known to movie fans as the bizarre female impersonator star of such cult classic films as "Pink Flamingos," "Lust In The Dust," "Polverest" and "Female Trouble."
The Divine character was garishly made up and outrageously chesty, as well as loud, raucous and foul-mouthed. Milstead's appearance made the first Waters films a favorite for after-midnight showings at arty cinema houses.
Milstead played one non-transvestite role in his career, that of a Sydney Greenstreet-type character in the 1985 film "Trouble In Mind."
Milstead is survived by his mother and father, Frances and Harris Milstead, of Florida, West said.
Dartmouth editor denies harassment
HANOVER, N.H. — A white student editor testified before a Dartmouth College disciplinary panel that his staff was polite and did not harass a black professor in an incident that sparked racial turmoil at the Ivy League school.
The Associated Press
But Professor William Cole told the panel, which met Saturday and Sunday, that the four white staff members of the conservative Dartmouth Review were bigots and that they harassed him.
The students said they were acting as journalists when they confronted Cole on Feb. 25, several days after the off-campus newspaper published an article that sharply criticized Cole.
The defendants were Review editor
Christopher Baldwin, photo editor John Quilhot, executive editor John Sutter and contributor Sean Nolan.
The Committee on Standards heard nearly 16 hours of testimony concerning last month's confrontation.
The disciplinary board will begin deliberating the fate of the four staff members tonight. They face possible expulsion on charges of harassment, assault and misconduct in their privacy for taking Cole's picture and recording him without his consent.
"It came out in the testimony we were well-behaved, we were polite" to Cole, said Baldwin. He rebulted the invasion of privacy charge, saying college regulations don't extend privacy rights to a professor in a public building after class.
