There\u2019s so much about Toyah Ann Willcox<\/a> I never knew. I was familiar with this wild-haired, exotically dressed creature from another planet that was pretty much the norm in the 1980s, though her voice set her apart. I remember her album, The Changeling<\/a>, released in 1982. It was dark, gothic and sensuous, and a staple of my musical diet at the time. But I had no idea that she was also deeply immersed in an acting career – stage plays, film and television – since the mid \u201870s. She worked with Derek Jarman on his punk film Jubilee<\/a> and The Tempest<\/a>, and in 1979\u2019s Quadrophenia<\/a>. She appeared with Katharine Hepburn in the made-for-television movie The Corn is Green<\/a>, and in many live theatrical roles. At the same time, she fronted a few bands before embarking on a solo music career in 1985.<\/p>\n

A little nostalgia for the old folks…<\/p>\n
