Tracy Edna Turnblad is the main protagonist of the 1988 film Hairspray and its stage musical adaptation's 2007 musical film adaptation. She is a chubby, racially colorblind teenage girl and the son of an agoraphobic Edna Turnblad and shopkeeper Wilbur Turnblad. She has a crush on Corny Collins dancer Link Larkin. Her best friend is Penny Pingleton, who has a crush on lead Negro Day dancer Seaweed Stubbs. With her racial colorblindness, she supports Negro Day... in fact, she supports integration.
Although, in the 2007 film version, the award for Best Miss Teenage Hairspray goes to Seaweed's little sister Inez, it is still considered a win for Tracy.
In the 1988 film, Tracy is played by Ricki Lake, while in the 2007 film, ironically, she is played by newcomer Nikki Blonsky (what's ironic is that the rest of the major cast are all-stars).
