Born in Baltimore in 1946, John Waters was drawn to movies at an early age. As a teenager, Waters began making 8mm underground movies influenced by Jean-Luc Godard, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Russ Meyer, Ingmar Bergman and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Using Baltimore as the setting for all his films, Waters assembled a cast of ensemble players, mostly native Baltimoreans and friends of long standing: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole and Edith Massey.
In 1972, Waters created what would become the most notorious film of 1970s American independent cinema, Pink Flamingos. Centered on the great battle to secure the title âFilthiest People Alive,â Pink Flamingos pitted Divineâs Babs Johnson against Mink Stole and David Locharyâs truly evil Connie and Raymond Marble, while making Waters an internationally famous cult icon. Pink Flamingos went on to become a smash success at midnight screenings in the United States and all over the world. Waters has directed sixteen films, including Female Trouble, Polyester, Hairspray, Cry-Baby, Serial Mom, Pecker and A Dirty Shame. Following a screening of Pink Flamingos, James Egan, USC cinematic-arts professor and editor of the forthcoming book Interviews with John Waters, will moderate a conversation with Waters about his iconoclastic career as a filmmaker, author and celebrity.
Organized by the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
