John Waters FAQ
All That's Left to Know About the Provocateur of Bad Taste
Dale Sherman
For more than 50 years John Waters has been staging a coup against the good taste of the American public. From the ultimate gross-out in
Pink Flamingos
to the amazing general-audience rating of his biggest hit
Hairspray,
Waters has been subverting viewers' expectations with comedies that stretch past the boundaries of even today's jaded audiences.
A provocateur of bad taste in a glorious way, Waters started out as an outsider with a camera and a small circle of fellow delinquents. In tearing down icons of the silver screen, Waters would create his own that are used still by others in movies and television. And that's only part of the tale.
