@Coy Leigh I used to like Cherry Bomb, but you're right, it is ridiculous. 15 year old child dressed like an adult film "star" singing about flaunting parental authority and how she'll make you sore. I smell a Fowl rat.
She's so honest. Takes responsibility for her drug taking. Good on her. Makes a difference from all the famous people blaming everyone else for it. Glad that she came out on a note, bless her. I love her. Loved her in the runaways. Love her now.
Anyone who is a fan of Cherie or the Runaways should read Neon Angel. There's a part in the book where Cherie is literally dying on her feet from cocaine. It's mentioned in this video but she quite literally was dying. She did "narrowly escape" death. By mere weeks. Very good but also very intense book. I'm glad she managed to get away from that. Strong woman.
Yes, I read it, and it is scary. Poor Cherie really had some heavy shit to deal with. Being raped by a lunatic, for starters. Glad she got into recovery. A great woman, with beauty and spirit and rock and roll grit.
It would not have been the same though teenage girls sex and drugs it's a rock n roll image. People have to learn to do it straight later for their health but it's ingrained by then it's easy to do.
Holy fuck, talk show hosts from back in the day were so horribly insensitive. "Former Teen Rockstar Turned Coke Queen" .. and this is what they call her _after_ she's quit. Television broadcasters were on a massive drug tirade whenever Cherie gave an interview.
it’s crazy. the Runaways weren’t together that long. already began dissolving just in over 2 yrs. so it really says something bout the industry that she went from zero to 100 so quickly. in just 2yrs a quaalude and coke addict, pregnant by a manager, i mean wow. it’s also odd-she looks younger here than she did performing cherry bomb live on stage back in the day.
I just watched the movie The Runaways (Dakota and Kristen are awesome!) and I find it amazing that this old footage is on youtube. Wow, I remember Sally Jessie from when I was a kid. Amazing that after all these years something has survived. Thanks for posting.
One thing I find interesting about The Runaways. All of the girls in the band were very intelligent and really very nice sweet kids. Most have lead very interesting lives and have all accomplished a lot. A friend of mine knows one of them and she’s really kind and nice and cool.
Wow, I remember being a little girl who listened to the Runaways, and watched the movie Foxes, and realized for the first time that Cherrie Currie rocked my life in more ways than one! She was so sexy, still is, but in Foxes she was a blonde bombshell to me. Thanks for the memories.
I saw most of that film at didn't know it was Her at first , She was skinny and frail , She looked very well in these films healthy. If You are from the 60's-70's drugs was accepted and cool , it just wasn't in Hollywood , it was everywhere
I was a pre-teen at the time, and remember all the older people doing drugs. I grew up watching people snort cocaine and separate seeds from the pot so they could roll a joint... so ya, I remember the drugs! Not that any of that has really changed now, but people are heavier due to the processing of food, I suppose. I just remember wanting to be apart of a Cherrie Currie and Joan Jett sandwhich...right in the middle!
This was probably from the late 80's /early 90's - regardless, I've always thought Cherie Currie got much better looking as she got older and into her 30's, 40's and 50's ......
A true fucking Rock Star, who knows what hard times really is. Unlike nowadays, with these fake ass, wanna be Rock Stars who create this bogus: "Bad girl" image because they wanna be like Rockers from the seventies.
Strawberry3008 it has Kim written all over it. He raped Jacky one of the base players they had. And convinced she wanted it. The girl was half awake and couldn't move. They never rebelled against him during the band's running as they were afraid of him. Hell they still are
Cherie Currie is sooooooooooo cute here... CUTTEST GIRL IN THE WORLD! Like a cat from Japan... That's the Real Prettiest Beautiful Women Who Walked in Earth.
hi L7! thankee so much indeed for posting this! i'd heard the audio interview of Sally Jesse Raphael's segment but have waited years to see it on video! thanks again! and your other Jett interview clips are humdingers as well....regards!>...ggx
@musclecars60 her dad was an alcoholic and her mom was in indonesia. I just finished her autobiography :P She really didnt have anyone to look out for her
I hate how they are so negative, I mean yeah it was awful with the drugs but hell, discuss the overall problems instead of WHAT SHE DID WRONG.

@Des Harris You are absolutely correct. My ex worked for a pharmaceutical company that was partners in developing Suboxone, a heroin replacement therapy. I saw lab rats opt for drugs over food until they died, addiction takes over the brain for sure. And fast!!
@Des Harris Indeed. I saw an interview with Kathy Valentine from the Go Go's, the first time she did heroin she said: "I knew right then that this was the way I wanted to feel for the rest of my life". It was 7 years later before she kicked it. The same thing exact story for Danny Hutton from Three Dog Night, only it was 15 years for him. No happy endings down that road.
Both Joan and Cherie are today both gorgeous women in their 50's. They both sound great too now. I'm glad they didn't go down the wrong road like Sandy West.
It is good to see that she is doing so well now. Although these are very dated interviews, obviously. Is there any newer information on her these days? @agentthelios1 it is true that those of you who haven't ever done the stuff she or others did, I agree wholeheartedly with @ncwdane, that God rejoices not only in those who are walking right, but rejoices when one of those were lost and are now found.
@agenthelios1 Whenever a family unit has the level of dysfunction that Cherie's family had it is very easy to succumb to the feeling canceling effects that drugs and alcohol provide. Addiction can be more profound. I am referring to people that are more prone to being sensitive. People that genuinely love their family and cannot bear to see such unhappiness and suffering of those that they care about. I hate it when people that are not sensitive judge others for being so.
She's very intelligent and sharp in these clips; glad to see the drugs didn't do any serious damage. Though I wasn't aware the Runaways performed in San Diego just a few weeks after she joined the group. That story sounds made up from the beginning, and it has only grown every time she tells it.
@rrhone This was the early to mid '80's as they mention Madonna in here and the movie Foxes which Cherie Currie did in 1980 which means whe was at least 21 years old.
No blame game here take responsibility for what's going on always. This is what it means to take your life back.its not about drugs, friends, parents, school etc. It's about you only you. Be your own boss. Don't let anything or anyone run you.
@iCatey If you read Cherie Currie's book, she explains how after the Runaways she really didn't talk to any of the girls for quite some time and downspiraled into a very, very hard addiction to cocaine and crack cocaine. She was also raped multiple times and tortured during one of those occurrences.
She seems like a cool mom to have. wow how she still has a perfect nose even though she did all that cocaine for so many years, i'm so surprised it didnt eat her up. Even all the smoking didn't do any harm to her, shes still healthy and looks great for her age. Sandy didn't come out on all the videos smoking like Cherie did, and she still died of cancer.
She mentioned that her mom worked at Coldwater Canyon Hospital. I grew up in North Hollywood and went to Coldwater Canyon Elementary School so does anyone know where this hospital is?
@wheelinthesky300 I don't know if she got breast implants, but what you have to remember is in the early photos of her - in in the corset and fishnets she was only 15-16 years old and just starting to actually develop breast, but as I say, she could have had implants, I don't know.
@L7JETT She called her Cherry after she said it was found by Joan Jett. I think that it just brought back memories when she heard the interviewer say that. She actually smirked when she was called Cherry haha
2:05 What??? Madonna ain't got shit to do with Joan Jett! Joan Jett is pure 100% rock and roll gold. Madonna is an unquestionable pop queen. Two different worlds.
For heavens sake sex drugs and rock n roll was the image for lots of bands not just in the 70s either and not just the bands but their fans too. I'm glad I never hot hooked on anything hard as cocaine but I doubt she was the only one who did that was the lifestyle then and there.

@@jm-rf7kl People weren't as sexually repressed in the 70's, as compared to today.
She figured it out on her own early. Self intervention is pure wisdom
She's so honest. Takes responsibility for her drug taking. Good on her. Makes a difference from all the famous people blaming everyone else for it. Glad that she came out on a note, bless her. I love her. Loved her in the runaways. Love her now.
She seems so sweet and classy.
She has such a sweet look here. She reminds me of a young Meg Ryan.
A person in authority *cough* Kim Fowley *Cough*...
He was a asshat, he's dead and that's good

@@shadylee1745 Learn to spell correctly if you want to call someone an "idiot", sweetheart. I'm sure she's far stronger than you are.
@@thetommyknockerman7193 She is over rated.She is not some great rock singer by any stretch of the imagination
@@shadylee1745 Feel better?
I just don't think these uptight media people understand what a badass theyre talking to..."could you have done it without the drugs?" "definitely"
It would not have been the same though teenage girls sex and drugs it's a rock n roll image. People have to learn to do it straight later for their health but it's ingrained by then it's easy to do.
she's really opened about this issues. amazing.
Joe Biden's listening
Holy fuck, talk show hosts from back in the day were so horribly insensitive. "Former Teen Rockstar Turned Coke Queen" .. and this is what they call her _after_ she's quit. Television broadcasters were on a massive drug tirade whenever Cherie gave an interview.
Jon still were jon.so much more 1,000,000 times awful than ever!.buncha jerk offs,subversive douchebags in the media.
As I'm reading your comment she starts singing and she sounds like a demon🤯🤯🤯😂😂 it's been a minute
Glad to see Cherie Currie is doing very well today. And knew when to stop before it destroyed her life. Can't wait to see the movie "The Runaways".
I loved her hair in the 70s
it’s crazy. the Runaways weren’t together that long. already began dissolving just in over 2 yrs. so it really says something bout the industry that she went from zero to 100 so quickly. in just 2yrs a quaalude and coke addict, pregnant by a manager, i mean wow.

Im glad Cherie finally overcame her drug addiction. :) Altho she was great in The Runaways!!
"a person in authority" aka kim fowley
peterpanfan010 Right.
It was common knowledge he did that and called all of them dogfuckers
Kim Fowley is the dogfucker, hopefully burning in hell.
I didn't know about this, and I'm kinda appreciating that I didn't. The underbelly of the 70's was freakin' brutal. Especially to women and girls.
@@trysometruth Joe Biden was there

She was super hot in "Foxes." Great, underrated film.
Dana H Yes. I liked the film so much that I bought it on DVD. There are many great actors in the beginning of their careers in 'Foxes'.
I loved her in Foxes. I think she upstaged Foster.
She seems like a very real and down to earth person. Glad she overcame her drug addiction. Rock On!
Thanks so much for these! I'm writing a book on the Runaways and any interview is really helpful.
This was probably from the late 80's /early 90's - regardless, I've always thought Cherie Currie got much better looking as she got older and into her 30's, 40's and 50's ......
She's beautiful.
What a poised, talented woman who knows her mistakes and takes responsibility for them.
A true fucking Rock Star, who knows what hard times really is. Unlike nowadays, with these fake ass, wanna be Rock Stars who create this bogus: "Bad girl" image because they wanna be like Rockers from the seventies.
exactly.
"down dog" that does kinda sound like Kim "without me you're trash" really it does

Cherie Currie is sooooooooooo cute here...
CUTTEST GIRL IN THE WORLD!
Like a cat from Japan...
That's the Real Prettiest Beautiful Women Who Walked in Earth.
super 80's hair!
I love Cherie's hair in these videos.
Why does nobody ever mention Lita Ford being in the group!?
slbiggs36 did Lita have a hit on her own before “Kiss Me Deadly”? This might have aired before that record.
Yes she did have hits before kiss me deadly.
She's still popular as a Heavy Metal performer.
@Rich Myers She wasn’t just a guitarist- she was lead guitar and she killed it.
Exactly!!!
i'm so amazed and happy that she ended up healthy
I like her attitude. And I totally understood her high school story.
hi L7! thankee so much indeed for posting this! i'd heard the audio interview of Sally Jesse Raphael's segment but have waited years to see it on video! thanks again!

Some verrrrry insigthful and honest info here. Thanks for posting these interviews!!
xo Joannie H. (IDAHO)
She never changes, Foxes, i still see that side of cherie :P
"I didn't want to be one of the popular kids cause I didn't like the popular kids" YES CHERIE
Cool
Love Cherie Currie, thanks!!
@musclecars60
her dad was an alcoholic and her mom was in indonesia. I just finished her autobiography :P She really didnt have anyone to look out for her
awww...she turned out so sweet & classy. Amazing
U have done so well Cherie!
Joan had a pretty good career actually. More success as a solo artist than with The Runaways.
This is amazing!
I lovee her!!
Thanks so much for this. I was out of touch with the Runaways during the 80's, strange to see Cherie with big 80's hair!!!
that was an awesome interview.

cherie the best
great compilation
Haha. Oh, Jeez. Before I was a cocaine addict, I was a Quaalude addict. Man, is that a mid 1970s statement.
😆 seriously!
nonplayerzealot4 love your pic!!!
Yessirree! As an aging punk, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at that one.
She was my idol!!!
...She was just so cool...this girl new how to rock!
She is really amazing, the fact she turned her life around after going through what she did.
And holy shit, look at Sally Jessy Raphael, hahaha.
very happy and healthy, and looking better then ever. ( at this time )
she's so amazing!
thanks a lot!
She always maintained her good looks.
I love you Cherie! :)
Cherie came full circle with Fowley. She nursed him when he died of Bladder Cancer, in her home. She did not simply forgive him, she practiced it.
frickin love the runaways and joan jett yaaa!!!!!!
*Tenho essa compilação de entrevistas da Cherie toda legendada aqui no meu canal, pra quem tiver interesse.* 😉
Wonderful family??? Her mom went to airport in disguise to dodge her. She said in book she was devastated.
Absentee Childhood maybe she didn't like to publicly slaughter her mom as she was getting along with her. Or trying to be her daughter again.
Absentee Childhood well I think she meant that he parents weren’t physically abusive or anything like that
Watch "Edgeplay" a documentary of The Runaways.
THANK U SO MUCH
The Runaways weren't even known in America..
Their material wasn't played on the radio
Look at the record charts in 1976
I love her :)
Both Joan and Cherie are today both gorgeous women in their 50's. They both sound great too now. I'm glad they didn't go down the wrong road like Sandy West.
Does anyone have Cherie's appearance on Oprah from around this same time (1988-89)? I have been looking around for that interview forever!
Thank goodness she made it out the other side!
LOL ya, the movie, 'The runaways' sorta gave that, "Person of authority." Away already :)
It is good to see that she is doing so well now. Although these are very dated interviews, obviously. Is there any newer information on her these days?

Love that movie, Foxes.
@musclecars60 Mom was a socialite who was never home, Dad was an alchoholic and absent much of the time.
What year was the Sally Jesse Raphael show? I would like to watch the whole thing.
Her book came out like in 1989, so its most likely this is her book press tour.
