Colleen was an excellent Amber in the 1988 movie, Hairspray directed by John Waters. She really set the standard for Brittany Snow in the new Hairspray remake movie. Anyway, since us Hairspray viewers did not get to hear Colleen sing in the Hairspray movie, we didn't know that she is a superb singer!!! Since she was the lead singer of the alternative rock band, Eve's Plum, and the lead singer in the 90's pop band, Vitamin C, who's smash hhit was Smile, we all know that she can REALLY SING!!! I think that she should get more opportunities to be in movies, because she is so excellent! She brought Amber to a new level of mean, that was not captured in the spirit of the broadway play, and probably not in the movie. Also, she had her kissee and spastic side too.
