Add to a movie listA Divine Double Feature is a collection of two video segments, both starring Divine.
This 110 minute video is split into two segments. The first, directed by John Waters, is a 16mm black and white short film titled The Diane Linkletter Story which stars Divine as a troubled young teen who is driven to suicide by her horrible parents. It was loosely based on the true suicide of Diane Linkletter. The Neon Woman, the second short, is a live recording of the off-Broadway play by the same title, with Divine in the starring role as a strip club owner who faces many difficult problems. This video is somewhat rare and is intended more for John Waters and Divine enthusiasts than casual fans.

Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake) and her best friend, Penny Pingleton (Leslie Ann Powers), audition for The Corny Collins Show, a popular Baltimore teenage dance show based on the real-life Buddy Deane Show. Penny is too nervous and stumbles over her answers, and another girl, Nadine, is cut for being black (there is a 'Negro Day' on the show on the last Thursday of every month, she is told). However, despite being overweight, Tracy is a strong enough dancer to become a regular on the show, infuriating the show's reigning queen, Amber Von Tussle (Colleen Fitzpatrick), a mean, privileged, beautiful high school classmate whose pushy stage parents, Velma (Debbie Harry) and Franklin Von Tussle (Sonny Bono), own Tilted Acres amusement park (based on Baltimore's Gwynn Oak Amusement Park, where racial problems occurred). Tracy steals Amber's boyfriend, Link Larkin (Michael St. Gerard), and competes against her for the title of Miss Auto Show 1963, fueling Amber's hatred of her.
