Prospect Hill Cemetery is the site of the gravesite of well-known actor, performer, and drag queen Divine, named as People magazine's "Drag Queen of the Century." The actor has become a well known figure within popular culture and LGBT circles. Following his death in 1988, his gravesite has become a major pilgrimage site for pop culture devotees, especially fans of his collaborative work with Baltimore filmmaker John Waters, best known for the film Hairspray. Visitors can view the gravesite at the Towson-area cemetery, which is easily accessible via Interstate 695. Photo opportunities are permitted at the cemetery during daylight hours throughout the year.
