Did anybody like Suzi Quatro as Leather Tuscadero? It's too bad Suzi was overlooked as a woman pioneer rocker in the U.S.

Stormtracker TF · 02-01-2005, 05:00 PM

She was cool, much better than Pinky Tuscadero.

Suzi was born right here in Detroit, too.

I really liked Leather. I wished they had done more with her.

i liked Leather, i really wish they would've kept her AND Sticks, maybe even added a couple MORE new characters BEFORE Richie and Ralph left.

It would've made a MUCH better transition.

But, they didn't know Ron Howard and Donny Most were going to leave. Otherwise, they probably would have introduced new characters earlier.

Race's Girl · 02-02-2005, 01:23 PM

I think Suzi rocks as well

Suzi is still rocking today. Primarily in Europe and she has great memories of Happy Days. I wish they had done an episode where leather and Pinky were on the same show and we could see them interact. There should be a poll on who everyone prefers. Leather or Pinky.

Suzi has said that the Happy Days producers wanted to do a spinoff show with Leather but Suzi did not want to play the character for that long.

She was sort of legendary in the 70's glam rock era. She was also one of the first female guitarists, which probably influenced a lot of female rockers to follow suit.

She probably influenced bands like the Runaways, which featured a young Joan Jett and Lita Ford.

I liked Leather but I wish we could have seen more of Pinky.

yeah I agree. The 1977-1980 era was my favorite because they had Chachi but still had Richie and Malph.

Suzi AKA Leather rox!

TripperFan · 04-27-2005, 02:56 PM

I loved Suzi - both as Leather and her music in real life. I found I styled myself after her - I spent the 80s in leather!!

She and Patty Smythe were definitely THE female rockers of the 70s!
