Actors - Dreamlanders


Dreamlanders refers to the cast and crew of regulars whom John Waters has used in his films. The term comes from the name of Waters' production company, Dreamland Productions. Many of the original Dreamlanders were friends of Waters from his native Baltimore, Maryland, regular customers at the Hollywood Bakery and Pete's Hotel, and design students from Johns Hopkins University.

Although Waters has attempted to feature many of the same actors and production team in every film, not every Dreamlander is used in each of Waters' films. This is frequently the result of the death of an actor as was the case with Maelcum Soul
, Edith Massey
, Divine
, and David Lochary
. Other actors such as Jean Hill and Ricki Lake
have not been used in every film, but tend to appear occasionally.

Typically Waters would discover an actor and continue to use them in subsequent films. Most notably, Mary Vivian Pearce
is the only Dreamlander to appear in every one of Waters' films. Mink Stole
has appeared in every Waters film except for the 1964 Hag in a Black Leather Jacket
. Although many Dreamlanders have a prolific history with Waters, the distinction of being a Dreamlander is generally bequested upon anyone who has made more than one Waters film, such as Traci Lords
who appeared in Cry-Baby
(1990) and Serial Mom
(1994). Some would consider Danny Mills a Dreamlander despite only appearing in the 1972 film Pink Flamingos
.
