Trivia: Two characters from the 1988 film do not appear in this version: Arvin Hodgepile and Franklin von Tussle. The actors who played them have both passed away: Divine in 1988 and Sonny Bono in 1998.
Suggested correction: Divine played Edna Turnblad.
Divine played both Edna and Arvin. Edna is in the 2007 film, but not Arvin.
