Cherie Currie
Cherie Currie has hailed Dakota Fanning's performance in The Runaways.
Fanning takes on the role of Currie in the new biopic picture, which also stars Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett, which charts the rise of the all girl rock group.
In an interview with the AV Club the Currie said: "Dakota Fanning is so great. I actually forget it's my story, just because she's so good and so believable.
"You get engulfed in the film. It's wild. At first, you're saying, 'Wait a minute,' because they took some poetic license and it kind of goes against your grain.
"It's just human nature to react when you see something you lived through and you think it didn't quite happen that way.
"But then you get through that and then you see the movie again and it's just like, 'Oh my God.
"This really is intriguing.' And the acting is so great. I get so engulfed in the film that I forget it's about The Runaways and me and Joan. It's so entertaining, really."
