Cherie Currie

From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia

Cherie Currie (born 1960) is a rock and roll singer and actress, best known as the singer of The Runaways, an all-female hard rock, proto-punk band from Los Angeles in the mid-to-late 1970s. Described as "the lost daughter of Iggy Pop and Brigitte Bardot" by Bomp magazine, she seemed likely to achieve greater fame. She left The Runaways in 1977 to pursue an acting career, and appeared in several films, but heavy problems with drug addiction caused her career to grind to a halt in the mid-1980s. She has performed sporadically since then and has written an autobiography, "Neon Angel".
