Cherie Currie

The second I heard that Dakota was going to be playing Cherie I have to admit I was a little hesitant about the idea, I love Dakota as a actress. The first time I saw her was in Uptown Girls and then Dreamer, she was good and great. I saw her in Push and loved her in that movie, she was a perfect Cassie Holmes, that was when she took on more mature roles than childrens movies.

When I watched the clips I was like 'well okay she can rock the part.' But when I saw the movie I was like 'That girl is a Cherry Bomb!'

At first when I heard the band was going to be a movie I at first thought Taylor Momsen would be perfect for the Cherie role, then I scratched out that idea and put in Dakota. I thought her two best scenes were when she was buying the vodka at the super market and when she did Cherry Bomb I thought she nailed the real Cherie Currie's moves.

So to me Dakota was amazing as Cherie Currie. And the David Bowie scene that was cool, I wouldn't have the balls to do that.
