American filmmaker
United States · b. 1946
John Waters, 62, grew up in Baltimore. He began making silent 8mm and 16mm films in the mid-60s, before making the notorious Pink Flamingos in 1972. He made many low-budget shockers until his commercial breakthrough with Hairspray in 1988; it was later adapted for the stage, and remade as a major Hollywood movie. He will perform his one-man show, This Filthy World, at Hammersmith Apollo, London, on Thursday.
