John Waters is a renowned American filmmaker, actor, writer, and artist born on April 22, 1946, in Baltimore, Maryland. He's known for his transgressive cult films that often push boundaries and challenge societal norms. Waters' filmmaking career took off in the 1960s with short films like "Hag in a Black Leather Jacket" and "Roman Candles." He gained fame with films like "Pink Flamingos," "Female Trouble," and "Hairspray," which was later adapted into a Broadway musical and a 2007 musical film. Waters' films are characterized by their campy and subversive nature, often featuring taboo subjects and eccentric characters like Edna Turnblad (Hairspray, 2007). Edna, played by John Travolta, is a plus-sized, Baltimore working-class, eccentric, devoted mother and housewife with dreams of her own.
