** Milstead regretted the entire "eating dog shit" scene from ''Flamingos''.
** By the mid-[='80s=], Milstead was getting tired of drag roles. He only performed as Divine in ''Film/LustInTheDust'' because he wanted to co-star with Creator/TabHunter, and only did ''Film/{{Hairspray|1988}}'' because he had a dual role, one as a man (Arvin Hodgepile) and one as Divine (Edna Turnblad) -- and Milstead joked that he was not in drag for that role because no drag queen would ever be that frumpy. He was looking forward to a gay male role, Uncle Otto, in ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'', but died before he could perform.
