Can it really be 20 years since Hedwig and the Angry Inch came into our lives? Its star and writer, John Cameron Mitchell, has gone on to a quirky film career, which continues with the recent How to Talk to Girls at Parties.
My latest MEL Conversation is devoted to the actor/DJ/director. We talked about a lot of stuff: why Americans are still freaked out about sex, why Hedwig has endured, what he feels about identity politics, and how he and his parents finally mended fences late in their lives. I enjoyed our time on the phone immensely. You can read my interview here.
