Role Models is filmmaker John Waterss self-portrait told through intimate profiles of favorite personalities-some famous some unknown some criminal some surprisingly middle-of-the-road. From Esther Martin owner of the scariest bar in Baltimore to the American playwright Tennessee Williams; from the atheist leader Madalyn Murray OHair to the insane martyr Saint Catherine of Siena; from the English novelist Denton Welch to the timelessly appealing singer Johnny Mathis-these are the extreme figures who helped the author form his own brand of neurotic happiness. Role Models is a personal invitation into one of the most unique perverse and hilarious artistic minds of our time.
