Yes Oscar, I too wanna say thanks....loved this movie, saw it at the theatre at the time...and huge fan, I'm talking massive fan, of Debbie Harry. They've all aged so gracefully and seem to remain real. Rare today.

So sad seeing Mink talk about destroyed hair and Ricki smiling awkwardly because nobody knew yet.

@bemybaby4 Ricki got extremely bad alopecia from the styling in Hairspray and it didn’t resolve itself until she was in her 50’s.
