Estella Marie Thompson (born August 9, 1969), also known as Divine Brown, is an American former prostitute who gained public attention in 1995 when Hugh Grant, the English actor, was caught receiving oral sex from her in his car on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard. Thompson has remained in the public eye since then through work in pornography, television appearances and newspaper interviews.
That was the trick that changed my life. The event that earned me a million dollars ... the fuss afterwards scared me right there and took me off the game ... I have the most wonderful life now. I've got a nice new home ... there's no pool, but there is a picket fence. I thank the Lord everyday...I was always attracted to the glamorous life and that half an hour with Hugh Grant made me able to buy all the things I'd dreamed of having. That film Pretty Woman (1990) seemed to be what my life was about. Hugh Grant was my Richard Gere.[Interview with The Daily Mail, 2010]
