'So when Sandy is all alone by herself after the car race and she decides she wants to be part of the gang, she wants to have fun and allow herself to be emancipated a little bit. She says to Frenchy, "Can you help me Frenchy?" you know.
'So, it's like the first makeover show, she is becoming more of herself. She is allowing herself to come through.
'It's not so much to get her man but it's to be who she is 100%. He ran away from the dance because he was dancing with Cha-Cha and she couldn't confront him because there was this part of herself that wanted to come out.'
She noted that despite Sandy's innocent appearance, she was secretly hoping to bring out her sexuality, which sets the stage for her makeover by the film's end.
