Why did John Travolta dress in drag for Hairspray instead of casting a pure female actress?

John Waters' original 1988 film comedy "Hairspray" starred Divine (actor Harris Glenn Milstead in drag) as Edna Turblad. When the film was translated into a Broadway musical in 2002, it continued the concept of having an actor in drag play Edna. In the original stage version, she was played by Harvey Fierstein, who won the 2003 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical.
The success of the stage production, which was nominated for 12 Tonys and won eight (including Best Musical), prompted a movie version of the musical. And so the tradition of an actor in drag continued with Travolta in the 2007 screen edition of "Hairspray."

Income of an actress in a movie?
There is no answer. The actors/actresses will get at least scale (union minimum), usually more, although there is no upper limit. If the film is independent (and non-union), the actors may not even be paid. In addition to, or instead of pay, they may get points (percentage of the profits) -- which could be a lot, or nothing. It isn't a dumb question. There just isn't an answer for it.

They grew apart. It wasn't meant to be I guess. I do know Yvette has a great reputation in the biz for being very profession,beautiful and genuine. My mom's a casting director and had her audition for a role recently, she said she is a surprisingly great actress. I wonder if she's doing that now instead of modeling.

What is the best casting agency for extras?
If you do an online search for casting agencies within your city/state you will find a list of the legit and reputable castings agencies you can submit to. Searching on the local level instead of looking at all casting agencies will be more realistic for your needs. You'll have to be available in the area for extra work so it doesn't make sense to look into casting agencies that are nowhere near where you live.
