Collette fought with movie bosses on the set, convinced her junky character needed bushy underarm hair and battled with then Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein until he backed down. Colette told the New York Daily News, "Miramax wanted me to shave my underarm hair, which I did not want to do. I was playing a junkie. I did end up keeping it. I felt that since I was creating the character, I should be in control of all bodily hair." Colette is currently in pre production in Australia for Hey, Hey, It's Esther Blueburger, A coming-of-age story about a 13-year-old girl trying to fit into both a posh private school and an ordinary public school, according to IMDB.com
