Find out how Harris Glenn Milstead, a little overweight Baltimore boy, became a muse to filmmaker John Waters, a member of underground royalty and also an iconic drag queen of international renown – or better still, as put by the poster’s tagline, “the most beautiful woman in the world”. The film examines this unique personality life’s ups and downs – a figure who, from the late 1960s onwards, spat in the face (sometimes literally) of our preconceived notions of beauty, gender identity, sexuality and above all, good taste, while starring in a string of notorious films, like Pink Flamingos.
