over easy

In this remarkable local Baltimore television profile from 1978, which attempts to summarize Edith Massey's strange claim to stardom, we get a rare and intimate glimpse into the life and work of one of John Water's most indelible early trademarks. Hailed here as the "queen of punk rock" and "queen of the underground", she is likewise lauded "the most universally loved figure in Baltimore since Brooks Robinson". As is apparent below, it all couldn't have happened to a nicer woman.  All hail the Egg Lady!
