Biography
Leslie Ann Powers is an American actor born September 12, 1971. She was cast in Hairspray, the 1988 comedy written and directed by John Waters. The film represented a significant tonal shift for Waters—a much broader departure from his earlier X-rated works, earning a PG rating, the least restrictive his films had received to that point. Hairspray's ensemble cast included Sonny Bono, Ruth Brown, Divine, Debbie Harry, Ricki Lake in her film debut, and Jerry Stiller, with special appearances by Ric Ocasek and Pia Zadora. The narrative centered on self-proclaimed "pleasantly plump" teenager Tracy Turnblad as she pursued stardom on a local Baltimore TV show and rallied against racial segregation in 1962. The film earned $8 million during its initial theatrical release but found significantly larger audiences on home video in the early 1990s, receiving critical acclaim and ranking at No. 444 on Empire magazine's 2008 list of the 500 greatest films. In 2022, Hairspray was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". As a Virgo born in September, Powers embodies the sign's association with precision and craft. Actors perform across live and recorded mediums, collaborating with directors, cinematographers, and fellow cast members to bring stories to life.
