  Cherie Currie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cherie Currie (born November 30, 1959) is a rock and roll singer and actress.
Currie, not-yet sixteen, joined The Runaways in 1975, choosing for her audition song, the Peggy Lee classic, "Fever".
She left the group two years later, in 1977 to pursue an acting career, and appeared in a number of films, but heavy problems with drug addiction caused her career to be interrupted in the mid-1980s.

Cherie Currie's life took a wild turn in 1975, when Suzi Quatro-idolizing baby dyke Joan Jett and huckster/manager Kim Fowley invited her to audition for the quintessential jailbait fantasy band, the Runaways.
At 16, Currie commanded the stage in white corset and silver platforms, singing, "I can't go back to being straight, I've seen the gutter view." At 17, she left the band with visions of fame as a solo artist, fuelled by coke, Quaaludes, alcohol and stacks of magazines that featured her on the cover.
Currie describes her life today as "just putting one foot in front of the other" between her career as a woodcarving artist and painter, the occasional acting role, writing songs and producing and playing on recordings by other artists.

In 1979 the two Currie Sisters released an LP titled 'Messin' with the boys' on Capitol Record after Cherie Currie left the all-girl KISS orientated rockband THE RUNAWAYS.
Lita Ford and Joan Jett went solo, but Cherie Currie decided to work with her sister Marie and released an album which now has been re-issued on CD for the first time by the American re-issue/re-release based recordlabel Renaissance Records.
Before the original LP, Cherie Currie released a solo-album titled 'Beauty's only skin deep' in 1978, but that solo-album may be forgotten because it contained average 70s pop/rock material.

 Girlie Action! The Runaways Record on Blender.com
One day in late 1975, a striking 15 year old named Marie Currie was hanging out with her twin sister, Cherie, at the Sugar Shack, an underage disco in North Hollywood where teenagers would drink soda and dance.
By the time the strange duo had approached her that afternoon, Cherie had heard a lot about the Runaways, the tough, punky, all-girl teen band that had played only a few times but had already built a substantial buzz.
“Cherie liked some of the same singers I did — Bowie, British glitter music — and we were excited about her singing with us,” Jett says.

But no. Last Friday, Currie slunk onto the El Mocambo stage with the sexy grace of a teen just turned 41, her hair blond and tousled, her body taut and strangely adolescent.
She launched her set of Runaways covers with an overblown version of Crazy Noise, getting the crowd rocking, and when she settled the mob for a breathy version of Midnight Music, suddenly she was Marlene Dietrich in 1932.
But mostly her voice soared to elegance, and by the time Cherry Bomb arrived, the crowd was hypnotized.

NEW YORK--When Cherie Currie joined Joan Jett onstage to sing "Cherry Bomb" in Anaheim, CA on August 18, 2001, it marked the first time the musicians had performed the song that Jett wrote for Currie together in over two decades.
It has been 25 years since Jett and Currie made history as members of The Runaways, the all-girl rock band whose brief, loud career led the way for rocking women ever after, from the GoGos to Lunachicks, L7, Hole, Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney and the Donnas.
Jett's love of rock and roll (with her band, the Blackhearts) has continued unabated through 11 hit singles and more than a dozen albums; Currie has recorded five albums, and continues to perform live.

It centers on Jeanie (Jodie Foster) and her teenage friends Annie (Cherie Currie), Madge (Marilyn Kagan), and Dierdre (Kandice Stroh), who spend more time with each other--often sleeping in Jeanie’s bedroom--than they do with their families.
They young women represent a spectrum of teen behavior: the outgoing Dierdre is flirtatious; the overweight Madge, shy; and Jeanie, as the mature caretaker of the group, is quite concerned about Annie, whose negative relationship with her policeman father tempts her to self-destructive acts.
It was also the film debuts for Cherie Currie, Marilyn Kagen, and Kandice Stroh.

An Australian pressing of Cherie & Marie's "Messin' With the Boys", augumented with bonus tracks from Cherie's solo outing "Beauty's Only Skin Deep", a Runaways outtake(the cute "Hollywood Dream")and 2 Beatles covers Cherie used as auditioning material for a spot in the movie "Sgt. Pepper's"(she didn't get the part).
Quite a package for one cheap price, but since all the bonuses are now also available on CD and "Boys" has been issued Stateside with its own bonus cuts, the only reason to pick this one up is for the photos and Kim Fowley's liner notes.
The music Cherie recorded with the Runaways (featuring Joan Jett and Lita Ford) leaned more toward new wave, this album offers a broader range of rock and roll, landing more between Pat Benatar and Stevie Nicks.

Currie found fame as teenage singer with the Runaways; alongside Joan Jett and Lita Ford stardom was guaranteed, even if they only recorded three albums together.
This is her 1978 debut, produced by Runaways svengali Kim Fowley, so sound and image are all nicely orchestrated, aimed at the rock buying male youth of the time.

Under the musical guidance of eccentric producer Kim Fowley, "Beauty" features one-of-a-kind tracks like "Science Fiction Daze" and the title track(where co-writer Cherie reminds us she "born beautiful"!).
Gloppy production and some needless bubblegummers aside, the record is a lot of fun, with Cherie baiting the hooks as only a teenage rebel could do.
