Subsequently, she was considered to play the lead female role in Body Double, but the role went to Melanie Griffith because Brian De Palma believed she gave a better dramatic screen test than Haven. Afterwards she became one of the director's consultants for Body Double and was a coach for Griffith. Before filming Body Double De Palma commented, "I'm already thinking of casting. I don't know if there's any good young porno stars out here, but the older ones—Annette Haven, Seka—some of them can really act. And Annette Haven has a terrific body."
