"The Diane Linkletter Story" (1969) is a 16mm short film by Baltimore, Maryland, U.S. filmmaker John Waters starring Divine, Mary Vivian Pearce and David Lochary.
This improvised film is based on the true-life suicide of TV personality Art Linkletter's daughter, Diane. Mr. and Mrs. Linkletter fret about their daughter's recent behavior, which includes taking drugs and dating a lowlife named Jim. Eventually, the parents confront Diane, which results in her suicide under the influence of LSD.
Waters claims that the film is "accidental" – he and his friends improvised a story while testing a new synch-sound camera (later used on "Multiple Maniacs").
The film was unreleased in any form until it showed up on a 1990 videotape entitled "A Divine Double Feature".
