Healthy Potato Recipes Two Biography

Eric Gilliland is probably best known for bringing the hit TV series "Roseanne" to American audiences for many years. Most recently, he directed and co-wrote the much-lauded NBC TV pilot "Downwardly Mobile," which managed to reunite Roseanne Barr and John Goodman in the starring roles. Despite much industry buzz, the pilot was not picked up by NBC for it's 2012 TV schedule as a series. But the pilot DID inspire a new series by it's supporting cast (Jason Antoon, Mary Birdsong, Greg Cromer, Romy Rosemont and Tricia O'Kelley), called "Bitter Party of Five." Gilliland receives a "special thanks" in the show's credits and is rumored to be a future guest on the list. Eric hails from the Chicago area, and much of his humor features a healthy portion of mid-western "meat and potatoes" sensibility. He is an expert whistler, and is also a passionate soup enthusiast. Gilliland is also a professor in NYU's dramatic writing department where he teaches a course in TV story analysis. In theater, he has collaborated with Raising Hope's Martha Plimpton and Reno 911's Mary Birdsong on both actresses solo shows.

Actor featured in comic transvestite roles.
Died in his sleep from a combination of his weight and a disorder called sleep apnea, a disorder in which the body "forgets" to breathe or is unable to breathe due to blockage or excessive pressure. A classic symptom of this disorder is a sudden cessation of snoring for several seconds, indicating the inability to breathe.
Was contracted to play a recurring role as the Uncle in Married with Children (1987), but died the day before the shooting of the episode (#2.22, "All in the Family"). James 'Gypsy' Haake was cast as 'Uncle Otto' in Divine's place, and the episode was dedicated to Divine's memory.

"He's one of my finest leading ladies" - Tab Hunter [who co-starred with Divine inPolyester (1981)].
People who used to make fun are now fans. I had the last laugh.
Of course the last thing my parents wanted was a son who wears a cocktail dress that glitters, but they've come around to it.
My favorite part of dressing in drag is getting out of it. Drag is my work clothes. I only put it on when someone pays me to.
I think I've always been respectable. What I do onstage is not what I do in my private life... It's an act... It's how I make my living. People laugh, and it's not hurting anyone.
"Divine" and "Glenn Milstead" are both just names. Glenn is the name I was brought up with, Divine is the name I've been using for the past 23 years. I guess it's always Glenn and it's always Divine. Do you mean the character Divine or the person Divine? You see, it gets very complicated. There's the Divine you're talking to now and there's the character Divine, which is just something I do to make a living. She doesn't really exist at all.
