“I’m a part of something - I’m part of John’s alternate vision of the world,” Stole told OUT FRONT. Topics include queer people, drugs, drag, serial killers, art, abortions, racism, dancing, and Baltimore.
Waters’ films focus on the filthy and debaucherous, and highlight the counter-culture that attracts not only the LGBTQ community but also those who don’t identify with the mainstream. He often cast his friends in the unique, groundbreaking roles, which continue to be branded into queer minds across the globe. Stole has easily earned her title as a Dreamlander after appearing in every one of Waters’ feature films - an honor shared only with Mary Vivian Pearce and Pat Moran.Įarly Waters efforts like the now legendary Pink Flamingos (1972) and its follow-up Female Trouble (1974) were released through Dreamland Productions, the production company Waters started in the 1960s to make his self-written, self-produced, and independently-financed movies. Even Beverly believes that she can clear herself of all charges despite the overwhelming evidence against her.Mink Stole embraces her place as a Dreamlander, which is the term iconic queer filmmaker John Waters uses to refer to his resident company of actors. Those accusations end up being not an issue to most in the Sutphin family, who use their fifteen minutes of fame to their advantage. Beverly laughs off such suggestions, but even her family members end up believing she is guilty of all the murders, with possibly more to come. Slowly, evidence mounts that Beverly is the perpetrator of obscene telephone calls to neighbor Dottie Hinkle, and the murders of several people in their neighborhood who have crossed their family in some form or another. In that perfection, Beverly does and will not tolerate anything against her sensibilities, especially if it affects her or her family, and will take whatever measure to ensure people adhere to that sensibility. Beverly in particular is seen as being "perfect" in her quest to be just like the television mothers of the late 1950s. The Sutphins - dentist father Eugene, housewife mother Beverly, and late teen children, boy-crazy and flea market aficionado Misty, and horror movie fan Chip - are a stereotypical suburban family living in Baltimore.
