Remembering The Buddy Deane Show | WJZ-TV Baltimore

Said to be the inspiration for John Waters' film Hairspray, The Buddy Deane Show, an afternoon dance show that aired on Baltimore's WJZ from 1957-64, is revisited in this 60-minute documentary from 2003. The production features archival footage of performances by Frankie Avalon, Fabian, and Chubby Checker, among others.
