Divine Brown (born Estella Marie Thompson, 9 August 1969) is a Richmond, California, American prostitute who gained considerable public recognition in 1995 when Hugh Grant, a British actor, was caught receiving oral sex from her in a car on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard. Both Brown and Grant were arrested, and considerable damage was done to Grant's public image. Brown made a considerable amount of money from the ensuing publicity, and appeared on a number of television shows, including The Howard Stern Show and Danny!. In 1996, she played herself in a film based on the incident by porn actor Ron Jeremy Sunset and Divine: The British Experience (1996) aka Nine Minutes.
