Lila Perl 
Me and Fat Glenda 

The buttoned-up town of Havenhurst isn’t ready for the Mayberrys, especially when they roll in on a garbage truck piled high with their trash sculptures. Their daughter Sara who longs for conventional living, finds a friend in Fat Glenda, a larger-than-life character. In Lila Perl’s 1972 comedy, Sara learns to cope with her family’s unorthodoxy and a small town’s prejudice.
