Line 3:
Director, actor, writer, and owner of a [[Good Hair, Evil Hair|badass pencil moustache]]. He spent much of the 70s-80s making low budget exploitation films, such as ''[[Pink Flamingos]]'' and ''Female Trouble''. He achieved relative mainstream acceptance with ''[[Hairspray]]'', in 1988.
[[Creator Provincialism|His films all take place in Baltimore]], and are packed with as much sleaze as possible. They celebrate trashy Americana, with [[Camp|awful fashion and gaudy designs]] featured prominently. He has a regular group of actors, chief among them the late [[Drag Queen|drag performer]] Divine.
