After leaving The Runaways in 1977 she teamed up with her twin sister Marie and signed with Capital Records. Cherie also turned to acting where she starred in Foxes (1980) &  Wavelength (1983) along with memorable appearances in the Twilight Zone Movie (1983) and Parasite (1982). Her autobiography “Neon Angel” was released in 1989 and was turned into the 2010 hit movie “The Runaways” starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning as Cherie. She has been an award winning chainsaw artist since 2002 and continues to record, tour, act, and create remarkable pieces of art with her chainsaws.
