Manage episode 257587443 series 2591865
John Waters!
More than just about any other underground, subversive filmmaker, he's managed to go from the fringes of midnight cinema to mainstream darling.
From making films that skewer everything from abortion, deviant sex, alcoholism, necrophilia, murder.. you name it.. to being on the Simpsons, it's been a strange ride for the king of sleaze.
This is part one of our delving into Mr. Water's career starting with his films and his coterie of stars!
Divine! Edith Massey!
