70s rock legend played by Dakota Fanning is still platinum blonde at 65... can you guess who she is?

She shot to fame as a teenager as the lead singer of a girl group that came up in Los Angeles but achieved its greatest fame abroad.

Now regarded as a forerunner of punk, the band included Joan Jett, who in her post-Runaways years sang a cover of I Love Rock 'n' Roll that gave it worldwide popularity. Cherie fronted the band with fiery brio, thundering onstage in a corset and bellowing into the microphone while projecting a tempestuous persona that hinted at the turmoil brewing behind the scenes. Cherie even broke into films, acting with Jodie Foster and Scott Baio in Foxes, the 1980 directorial debut of Adrian Lyne, who went on to make such memorable movies as Flashdance, Fatal Attraction, Unfaithful, 9 1/2 Weeks and Indecent Proposal.
