John Waters - actor, writer, visual artist, and filmmaker best known for his cult favourites Hairspray and Pink Flamingos - finally reveals for the delight, amusement, enrichment and horror of his fans, all his subversive inspirations.
Role Models is, in fact, a self-portrait told through intimate profiles of favorite personalities - some famous, some unknown, some criminal, some surprisingly middle-of-the-road. From Esther Martin, owner of the scariest bar in Baltimore, to the playwright Tennessee Williams; from the atheist leader Madalyn Murray O'Hair to the insane martyr Saint Catherine of Siena; from the English novelist Denton Welch to the timelessly appealing singer Johnny Mathis - these are the extreme figures who helped the author form his own brand of neurotic happiness.
