Ricki Lake Closing ‘John Waters: Pope of Trash’ Exhibit At Academy Museum With Curator Talk


As the exhibit honoring her longtime collaborator John Waters comes to a close, Ricki Lake will host a talk about her work with the director.

Launching last September, ‘John Waters: Pope of Trash’ is “the first comprehensive exhibition dedicated to the artist’s contributions to cinema. Works on view include costumes, set decoration, props, handwritten scripts, posters, concept designs, correspondence, scrapbooks, photographs, film clips, and more.” Following the opening of the exhibit, Lake paid tribute to Waters at his Star Ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where she read a letter that she originally wrote to the director after wrapping on Hairspray, their first project together.
