When I rejoined The Post as a rewrite man in January 1995, one of the first big stories I worked on was the fallout from Hugh Grant’s arrest for being orally pleasured by $60-an-hour hooker Divine Brown in a parked car in Los Angeles. Today the Post catches up with the divine Ms. Brown, via London’s Daily Mail and a TV special. “I love Hugh Grant,” says the reformed Brown, who is said to have parlayed her 15 minutes of fame into a pile of riches. “Hugh Grant put my kids through school, gave us a chance of the life we probably would’ve never reached…If I can meet him and shake his hand, all I would liek to say is, ‘Thank You. I appreciate you, and if there is anything I can do in return, I would love to be a friend.” And we can all thank Ms. Brown and Monica Lewinsky for making oral sex a subject of mainstream conversation for the first time. Grant didn’t do too badly after his encounter with Brown. After a self-deprecating turn on the Tonight Show that became the template for countless contrite celebrity confessions to follow, Grant’s American film debut, “Nine Months” (an appalling Chris Columbus comedy with Julianne Moore that turns up on TV with frightening regularity) grossed $69 million, which was still impressive back in those days. So perhaps Hugh wants to thank Divine. Not only has his career prospered, but without her ministrations he might have actually married the actress whom he was then engaged to, Elizabeth Hurley. Instead he later became godfather to Hurley’s son by Steve Bing. But that’s another story.
