Her in- surance policy specifically excludes providing wigs, but the woman had tried to get around the exclu- sion by calling hers a ‘‘full cranial " prosthesis.’’ Monique Louise Cote filed a lawsuit against Cineplex Odeon and its employee, Sara Louise Carr, in Calgary earlier this year for injuries in a 1991 incident. ,Cote claimed Carr improperly charged her extra for buttered popcorn at the theatre refreshment stand and then, following a heated exchange, followed Cote back to her seat, grabbed her hair from behind, pulled it from side to side and shouted obscenities until other theatre personnel restrained her.
