David Crawford Lochary (August 21, 1944 in
Baltimore, Maryland – July 29, 1977 in
New York City) was one of the regular "
Dreamlander" actors in early films of the controversial "trash" film director
John Waters. He starred in such films as
Pink Flamingos,
Female Trouble, and
Multiple Maniacs, in which he typically played exotically-dressed, sophisticated perverts. Lochary co-wrote
The Diane Linkletter Story with
Divine, and worked as an uncredited hair and makeup artist on many of Waters' films. Lochary met Divine at beauty school and used to style his wigs and makeup for parties. Divine later commented that he had "never even heard the word 'drag' before David."
