Trivia
The opening music and ending music to the movie is a rare 45 released by Art Linkletter shortly after his daughter's death called "We Love You Call Collect". John Waters said during a lecture he thought the song was even tackier than the movie he made.

Quotes
Art Linkletter: No, she wouldn't lie. Well, yes, she would lie... But not to us.

Crazy credits
Divine "hosts" the credits, presenting cue cards with actors' names and doing the "Diane Linkletter" by sniffing up cocaine.

Sick, wrong, and essential

Made around the time of "Mondo Trasho," this is what Waters calls an "instant movie." He read about Diane Linkletter's suicide in the paper one day, gathered some of his friends, and shot a dramatic recreation of it that same day. In hindsight, this was a precursor to all those "E! True Hollywood Story" specials. It's even in grainy black-and-white, just like those so-called "dramatic re-enactments" we see on TV today. Essential viewing for Waters fans -- the credits alone are worth the effort of tracking it down.
