Local Boy Makes Good Movies

Got anything going on later today in Baltimore? You can go watch our beloved local treasure, filmmaker John Waters, get his star planted on the Hollywood Walk of Fame free for nothing!

The Senator Theatre and the Charles Theatre will be holding watch parties so fans can see the goin's-on on a big screen, no charge!

“The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has granted The Senator Theatre’s and the Charles Theatre’s requests for permission to live-stream the ceremony in the theaters’ historic auditoriums,” say the owners of those two movie palaces. "Baltimore is invited, at no charge, to attend and celebrate. Seating is limited and offered on a first come, first served basis. Doors open at 2 p.m.”


Last year, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which runs the Walk of Fame, proclaimed that Waters, having been nominated by Outfest of Los Angeles, had been selected to have a star in the motion picture category.

Waters's star will be #2,763 in the galaxy of H-town biggies. 

John will speak at the ceremony, and so will actresses Ricki Lake and Mink Stole, and photographer Greg Gorman. Marc Malkin, editor of Variety, will be the Master of Ceremonies.

The Senator, at 5904 York Road, and the Charles, at 1711 North Charles Street,  are big old theaters with hundreds of seats. Two of them can be for you and your plus one, today at 2!

If you can't get to Los Angeles or into Baltimore City, the chamber will live stream the ceremony at walkoffame.com.
