Readers familiar only with Waters's movies may be surprised at just how extraordinary a prose writer he is: he's as gifted in his scene descriptions and dialogue (in Trash Trio) and as a memoirist (in Shock Value) as he is a director. Demented, and the fall '04 release A Dirty Shame. Waters first made his mark through his films, and he's written and directed twelve of them, including Pink Flamingos, Polyester, Hairspray, Cecil B. Like Mel Brooks before him (their careers bear striking parallels), Waters has taken his place squarely in mainstream American culture. Nominated for thirteen Tony Awards, Hairspray won eight, sweeping the main musical categories with best musical, best actor, best actress, and best direction.
John Waters, a singular talent and perhaps America's most successful cult filmmaker, became a house-hold name in 2003 with the runaway success of his Broadway musical Hairspray.
