August 10, 1994 –
The cult comedy classic, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, directed by Stephan Elliott and starring Terence Stamp, Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce, and Bill Hunter, was released in the US on this date.
According to director Stephan Elliott, he got the idea for the film while seeing a plume of feathers break from a drag queen’s headdress during Sydney’s Mardi Gras parade and go tumbling down a deserted street like a tumbleweed in a Sergio Leone western.
