Foxes

FOXES
 
 
Foxes  is a 1980 American teen drama film directed by Adrian Lyne (in his feature film directorial debut) and written by Gerald Ayres.  The film stars Jodie Foster, Scott Baio, Sally Kellerman, Randy Quaid, and Cherie Currie (in her film debut).  The original music score is composed by Giorgio Moroder, and features the song “On the Radio”, sung by Donna Summer.  It revolves around a group of girls coming-of-age in suburban Los Angeles toward the end of the disco era.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

The bandmembers in the Runaways were all young girls when the band was formed – much as “runaways” are in real life – and several went on to successful musical careers, among them Joan JettMicki Steele (later in the Bangles), and heavy metal chanteuse Lita Ford

 

Two of the bandmembers were also featured in major motion pictures; Cherie Currie appeared in the 1980 film Foxes and also (with Vicki Blue) in the 1984 cult classic This Is Spinal Tap
