Filmmaker JOHN WATERS. We replay one of his earlier conversations with Terry, shortly after he made the cult film "Polyester," starring Divine and Edith Massey. "Polyester" was Waters' first studio film, and the first of his movies that didn't carry a self imposed X-rating. Prior to this July 1985 Fresh Air interview, Waters also wrote, produced and directed other sleaze classics such as "Multiple Maniacs," "Pink Flamingoes," "Mondo Trasho," "Female Trouble" and "Desperate Living." Waters made all his trashy films on location in his hometown of Baltimore
