Dorothy "Cookie" Mueller (March 2, 1949 – November 10, 1989) was an American actor, writer, and Dreamlander who appeared in several of filmmaker John Waters' early films, including Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Desperate Living.
Early life
Cookie Mueller and her parents, Frank Lennert Mueller (d. 1984) and Anne (Sawyer) Mueller (d. 1995, aged 82), lived in a house near the woods, a mental hospital, and railroad tracks in the Baltimore suburbs. Cookie was referred to as a baby by her grandmother: "Somehow I knew Cookie before I could walk." It didn't matter to me; they could call me whatever they wanted." During her childhood Cookie, her siblings, brother Michael, and sister Judy went on road trips around the country:
As a child, Mueller had many turtles (one named Fidel), a dog named Jip, snakes, and tadpoles. Cookie began writing at the age of 11, when she wrote a 321-page book about the 1889 floods in Johnstown, Indiana. She stapled it together, wrapped it in butcher paper and Saran wrap, and arranged it in a local library's shelves in what should have been its appropriate location. The book was never seen again.
Mueller's life was swath of pivotal events, including her brother's death at the age of 14, the result of scaling a dead tree that collapsed on them in the woods near their house, but the hippie crowd hung out in high school. As a child, one of Mueller's idiosyncrasies was that she dyed her hair: "If you're depressed, change your hair color," she [her mother] always told me, years later: I was never denied a bottle of hair bleach or dye. There weren't many clothes in my closet, but there were tons of bottles."
She began working at a small Baltimore men's department store and saved enough funds to move to Haight-Ashbury, where she continued to live the hippie lifestyle. Mueller moved around the country, working with vagrant groups and settled in places such as Provincetown, Massachusetts; San Francisco; Pennsylvania; and Italy.
Personal life
In 1989, Mueller married Vittorio Scarpoli, who died of AIDS.
Career
In 1969, Mueller first met film director John Waters at the Baltimore premiere of his film Mondo Trasho. Mueller appeared in Waters' films later in life, including a major role as Cookie the Spy in Pink Flamingos. She and Sharon Niesp, another Dreamlander, were lovers. John Waters' book Shock Value honors Mueller for his 1974 film Female Trouble. Waters and Mink Stole visited Mueller after she was hospitalized in Provincetown for pelvic inflammatory disease."What happened, Cook?"
Waters were requested. "Just a little feminine pain," she said.She migrated to New York to become a writer, photographer, and columnist after her underground film fame faded.
Mueller authored the East Village Eye's health column "Ask Dr. Mueller" and later served as an art critic for Details. How to Get Rid Of Pimples by Mueller (1984), a collection of her writings by David Armstrong; Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black (1990), a memoir; and Garden of Ashes, 1990), cult classics.
