I didn't know anyone else had read it!  I read the book and watched the movie.    I found both a bit disturbing though but incredibly deep and sad.  I was kind of under the impression that the girl had brown hair though...but in the movie she's blonde.  i duno...maybe I'm just thinking things up but I could of sworn she was a brunette! lol Report to moderator   Logged CrimsonRose Guest Re:White Oleander « Reply #2 on: July 06, 2003, 10:20:54 pm » In the book it always talks about how 'white' they are. Almost white blonde hair and pale skin. Remember? But when she turned all punky/goth I never knew she dyed her hair. I hated in the movie how her eyebrows kept chaning colours. There was one time right after claire died her hair was nice and blonde and her eyebrows her like a deep dark brown. it bugged me so bad!

She's suppose to be  an 'Audrey Hepburn' look a-like or soemthing like that. But i still adored Claire. I especially loved her"Stay away from Borken people line'. I love that one. Why do you think Ingrid wants to kepp her 'hold' on Astrid? I think because she fears Astrid wont love her. And she is afraid of being alone. lilabet-the movie just came out in the past year. it's ot that old so no worries!
