"Australian actress Toni Collette fought with movie bosses on the set of new movie Cosi, after they ordered her to shave her armpits. Collette was convinced her junky character needed unkempt underarm hair and battled with Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein until he backed down. She tells 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."

From IMDB. Go her

'Cosi' is an Australian movie she did 10 years ago. Definitely NOT a new movie. Did imdb run out of celeb stories this week?

Wow.
That's some true Bette Davis right there.

Erg. I s'pose I'm a product of conditioning, but the thought of armpit hair on a female is enough to make me gay.

Oh, wait....never mind.

Like gay men are even allowed to have armpit hair according to the "beauty industry..."

COSI is a great film! I think it would be wonderful on stage as well.

I love "Cheri and The Last of Cheri" by Collette.
