About this listen
Filmmaker John Waters on this archive edition of Fresh Air. His film Cecil B. Demented has been released on video and DVD. It's about an underground filmmaker and his cult following who declare war on bad cinema by kidnapping a starlet and forcing her to star in their own film. Waters' other movies include Pecker, about a young amateur photographer who becomes the darling of the New York art world; and Cry Baby, a juvenile delinquent love story set in the 1950s, which brought together such performers as Patty Hearst, Johnny Depp, Ricki Lake, David Nelson, and Polly Bergen. Waters is known for his independent, off-beat films, such as Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, and Polyester. In 1988 Waters entered the mainstream with his popular film Hairspray.
