Biography

Mink Stole is an American actress from Baltimore whose career is closely tied to the films of John Waters, beginning with a small part as a party guest in his Roman Candles. She became one of the Dreamlanders, Waters's regular ensemble, and appeared in every one of his feature films through A Dirty Shame (2004), a distinction she shares with Mary Vivian Pearce and Pat Moran. Her other screen work includes the satirical But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), where she played Megan's mother, and Stuck! (2009). She also acted in All About Evil. Beyond film, she wrote the Baltimore City Paper column Think Mink, fronts Mink Stole and Her Wonderful Band, and used Kickstarter in 2011 to finance her first CD, Do ReMiNK, released in 2013. The Boston Underground Film Festival gave her a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010.
