Kathleen absolutely nails it and I can’t actually imagine any other actress playing the part of Beverly but during production, many other big names were considered including Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Julie Andrews, and even Roseanne Barr. The premise of the movie is a simple one being that perfect Baltimore housewife Beverly Sutphin (Kathleen Turner) is a secret serial killer. I am now a massive fan of all of his work! Serial Mom was actually one of the first Waters movies I watched and my instant love for it resulted in me going through his back catalogue to see what else I’d missed out on. But towards the end of the 1990s Waters moved away from the controversial & cult movies and began making more mainstream movies but obviously, they still contained a lot of his unique style and comedy. John Waters movies definitely aren’t for everyone especially when you look at his earlier works such as Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, and Female Trouble.
