Career
She had a top five single on the Australian and New Zealand singles chart in 1989 with a cover version of Anita Ward"s "Ring My Bell". "Ring My Bell" was certified gold in Australia by ARIA. Sometimes considered a one hit wonder, Collette had two other top 40 Australian hits in 1989 with "All I Wanna Do Is Dance" and "That"s What I Like About You". Early in her career, Collette performed in bright fluorescent lycra clothing, especially bike shorts, bras, and braces.
In 1990, she appeared with a new image of short hair and black clothing in an attempt to cast aside the bike shorts image and for her music to be taken more seriously.
Collette appeared briefly as Isabelle Britton on the Australian soap opera Home and Away in late 1991. After her second album Attitude (1991) and its singles yielded little commercial success, Collette retired from the music industry and pursued a career as a stylist and make-up artist.
She appeared on Channel 7"s Where Are They Now? in 2006, revealing that she does some volunteer work at Sydney"s Taronga Zoo.
