About 30 years ago, Portland drag icon #Darcelle starred in a prize-winning one-person show written and produced by local impresario Don Horn, where Darcelle portrayed Divine. Horn published this companion paper doll book to complement the show.
"As the push for LGBTQ rights gained steam, Darcelle became an 'ambassador' to the straight community, and for decades she was known for her charitable work."

I’m just catching up to the news that Portland’s absolute legend #Darcelle has left this existence. The world has become a little less sparkly. #DragIsArt
I hope that I will still be calling out homophobes and raising half as much hell at 92 as she did.
An artist, an icon and someone who broke the mold has passed away at the age of 92.
Known as #Darcelle, Walter W. Cole, Sr. died overnight. A pioneer in #LGBTQ rights, Darcelle's drag queen shows, were a destination for tourists, visitors and locals in #PortlandOR
