Waters recalls men who played Edna

Variety.com: "In the beginning, Divine played the role of Edna Turnblad. And the first day on the set of 'Hairspray,' I didn't recognize him. I thought it was another neighborhood woman watching the shoot. We were filming in East Baltimore, and all the housewives were talking to him. Divine looked normal, not weird. It was a moment of truth. It was so anti-the-Divine-character that we started with. Divine said, 'Nobody can call me a drag queen, because what drag queen would allow themselves to look like this?'"
