Summary
Director Emerald Fennell reveals she regrets cutting scenes showing Margot Robbie’s Cathy with visible armpit hair — a deliberate choice to honor historical accuracy in her Wuthering Heights adaptation. Fennell argues that period dramas too often impose modern beauty standards, and that natural body hair was common before razors became widespread. Though filmed, these moments were edited out, sparking debate alongside other creative liberties in her bold, personal retelling of the classic novel.
