Cherie Currie

Fueled by the glitz and glitter of the glam rock movement that had peaked in the mid 1970s, Cherie Currie and her band The Runaways burst onto the Los Angeles club scene in 1975. Only 15 years old at the time, Currie and her teenage female band mates (including Joan Jett, Sandy West, and Lita Ford) quickly proved to LA that they rocked just as hard as their older male counterparts, and caught the eye of Rodney Bingenheimer. With Bingenheimer’s help, The Runaways fame on the strip expanded worldwide on an international tour before they broke up in 1978.
