John Samuel Waters, Jr. (born April 22, 1946) Not the greatest director alive, granted, he sure has made a mark on the face of cinema though. The first time I saw Pink Flamingos, I remember thinking that this guy must be out of his mind, poop-eating 300lb transvestites, not with-standing. He gone on to direct some pretty great movies, the first Hairspray, Cry Baby and Cereal Mom and some pretty awful movies – A Dirty Shame for example. But no matter what there’s always something there to love. he funny as hell and sports the coolest mustache anyone’s seen since 1942. So Happy Birthday.
