Edith Massey
Edith Massey (May 25, 1918 - October 24, 1984) was an actress.
She acted in several of director John Waters' most well-known films: Multiple Maniacs, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Desperate Living, and Polyester. Waters discovered Massey as a waitress in a Baltimore, Maryland, USA bar he and his friends frequented.
In the late 70s-early 80s, Massey capitalized on her Waters-infamy by touring as the lead singer of a punk band (Edie and the Eggs) and opening a thrift store in Baltimore called Edith's Shopping Bag.
Director Robert Maier made a documentary short about her in 1975 entitled Love Letter to Edie .
