  • @kabardinka1 Well said. And John barely knew Candy. He met her twice, and only in relation to working with Divine (projects in which Waters was not involved)... John was brought into this doc as a famous freak-camp-auteur who is still alive and whose career has some parallel with Warhol's film endeavors. I enjoy a great deal of Waters' work, but peddling him around as some sort of expert on the NYC downtown scene is ridiculous.

  • STEVE HOLT!

  • Candy Darling didn't have any silicone pumping. As usual, John Waters has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to trans women.

    Nor is there any proof that her hormones had anything to do with her death. She died of leukemia and there is zero connection between estrogen and that condition.

  • @theatertalk This is the show the late Lance Loud of "An American

    Family", the first PBS reality TV series ever, took his mother Pat, to, and she

    said it made her uncomfortable." And John and Yoko both came to see

    it. I was working at the box-office at La Mama E.T.C. at the time. Candy

    told me "Loved him. Hated her."

  • @StephenHoltShow @StephenHoltShow Now I feel nostalgic about Vain Victory and the people who were in it, but when I first saw it in '71, I confess that I did find it ... unbelievable.

  • @theatertalk Yes, that's me under the swing in the fish hole blowing bubbles as Candy Darling sang "My Place Tonight, Fellas" by Peter Allen. Candy and I were both mermaids. The plot was the wanted to have legs and walk "Like a real girl" and I was her "greedy, demanding stage mother" Nunca, the Divine. Can you believe it?
