“Liz Renay was my idea of total glamour.” John Waters Born on this day 96 years ago
“Liz Renay was my idea of total glamour.” John Waters Born on this day 96 years ago: the fabulous Liz Renay (née Pearl Elizabeth Dobbins, 14 April 1926 - 22 January 2007) – b-movie actress / burlesque queen / convicted felon / naive outsider painter / gangster Mickey Cohen’s moll / “Streaking Grandmother” / authoress of multiple volumes of memoirs (including My Face for the World to See and How to Attract Men) and all-round kitsch icon. For John Waters fans, Renay is adored for her performance as murderess Muffy St Jacques in punk masterpiece Desperate Living (1977) - especially for her acidic delivery of lines like, “I was having an erotic dream!” and “I sleep in the room next door - naked!” -- source link
