Hairspray why john travolta

Joel Siegel , arguably America's most high-profile film critic, has died at the age of Last year he was involved in a public spat with director Kevin Smith after bailing out of a press preview of Clerks 2, allegedly saying it was "the first movie I've walked out of in thirty fucking years".

He later apologised to the film-maker. Is there a Maryland accent? Why is the Maryland flag so weird? Do they say Y all in Maryland?

When the film was adapted for Broadway and premiered in Fierstein auditioned and won the role for the Broadway production with Waters' blessing, according to The Advocate in , a casting choice that seemed to cement the tradition of Edna being played by a man.

But Waters wrote in Variety in that even he is unsure of how the tradition started. I knew it would be for Chris because he came from that. He did that for a living. It's a point of view. But because they hired me, they wanted me to do both those things. She really kicks ass at the end in I Am Woman in that shimmering dress and really attack that. And they said okay. The teaming of Travolta and Queen Latifah proved to be a good mix of styles.

We had more subtle type things together, so we got in a groove that was easy to get into. It wasn't all that much - ours is more about a connection as to healthy women. And food. That's one of my favorite scenes. Travolta has nothing but compliments for his Hairspray co-star. She's rich in personality. We've come through big movements - racism, women's movement.

It's a tricky thing. You don't want to hit it over the head but you want to get the message out. You want to do it with some grace.
