Massey, Edith |
 | | Not much is known of her life until 1968, when she was "discovered" near Baltimore by the cult film director, John Waters. |
 | | He cast her in a succession of strange films, including Multiple Maniacs (1970), Pink Flamingos (1972), Female Trouble (1974), Desperate Living (1977) and Polyester (1981), which earned Massey stardom and money as a professional eccentric. |
 | | She had bad teeth, was ugly and obese, and sang badly, but was also very kind, with a good sense of humor. |
