She said goodbye to her long brown waves because her character, Apple had short cropped hair. Her pretty dresses were exchanged for masculine outfits that hung onto her slim frame like clothes on a washing line.

Vanessa stars alongside Brenden Fraiser (who plays her father) and Rosario Dawson (who plays her mother). The film is based on a true story about a girl who escapes the clutches of her  drug-addicted mom to find a home with her rich father who abandoned her years ago.
