Back in my youth there was a wildly popular show called Happy Days. When I saw this word prompt the first thing I thought of was Leather Tuscadero. It was actually rocker Suzi Quatro guest staring on Happy Days. She began the roll in 1977 and was on the show for seven episodes from then to 1979. Interestingly I learned she did not have to audition for the roll but was sought out after the show’s producer saw her picture on his daughter’s bedroom wall. Here she is doing the rock and roll classic Johnny B. Goode.

I had forgotten that her character on the show — brief as her inclusion was bound to be — was named Leather. Good reminder!
Yeah, I liked both her and Pinky Tuscadero.
What a great show!
I had no idea she was in that!
Yeah, she never hit it as big in the US as she did over seas.
