Below is from November 05
I am glad I found it.
The details are essentially, that I met a woman and her husband who used to
be one of the dancers on the Buddy Dean show. "American Dreams" was a
combination of American Bandstand and The Buddy Dean show. The woman was
the granddaughter of the founder of the Hells Angels. I have that written
down somewhere too but can't seem to find it just this second.
Anyway, Baltimore native John Waters wrote was a fan of the Buddy Dean
show, and directed the musical "Hairspray" which is based on the Buddy Dean
show.
It's too funny he's made this movie version with John Travolta and
Christopher Walken, but I couldn't remember the connection.
(from Roanoke) Julie Hunsaker used to be Waters' casting director.
I'll have to see if she cast this one too.
