Marie Michelle Currie (born November 30, 1959) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and artist. Currie is best known for playing in a band with her twin Cherie Currie, called Cherie & Marie Currie. Their song "Since You Been Gone" charted at number 95 on the US charts. Marie played Singing Maid Marie in The Rosebud Beach Hotel and is now a multi-media sculptor and artist.

Early life

Currie was born to Don Currie and actress Marie Harmon.[1] She was raised in Encino with three siblings. Her brother is Don Currie Jr. She has an elder sister, actress Sondra Currie, and a twin sister, Cherie Currie. Marie was the first twin born.[2]

Currie and her twin sister were given roles on an episode of My Three Sons at the age of two.[citation needed] They were supposed to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" with Fred MacMurray, but froze during filming, and their part was cut from the show.[3] Before Currie and her sister rose to fame, they appeared American Bandstand as background dancers.[4]

Career

While her sister Cherie was in the Runaways, Currie worked at a fast-food restaurant. She started the Marie Currie Band,[5] but they never released a record. They were featured in magazine articles across the U.S. and Japan. She started her career as a singer by singing a duet with Cherie called "Love at First Sight".[6] The song appeared on Cherie's debut album Beauty's Only Skin Deep.[citation needed]

In 1979, Cherie and Marie released two singles, "Messin' with the Boys" and "Since You Been Gone". The latter reached number 95 on U.S. charts.[7] In 1980, Cherie and Marie released their album, Messin' with the Boys,[8] and the album received more radio play than Beauty's Only Skin Deep. They released another single that year titled "This Time".[citation needed]

Cherie and Marie performed on television shows in the 1980s, including Sha Na Na, The Mike Douglas Show, and The Merv Griffin Show[9] In 1984, they played the singing maids in The Rosebud Beach Hotel. The twins sang, wrote, and produced songs for the film and its soundtrack, That film was Marie's acting debut.[10] In 1991, they performed at a tribute concert to Paula Pierce, a member of the Pandoras. For the final performance, the remaining Pandoras backed the Curries.[11]

Currie performed with her sister's band, the Runaways, at a reunion that included Jackie Fox and Sandy West.[12] In 1997, she worked as a mortgage banker, along with her brother Don.[13] She later became a sales and branch development manager for a lending company founded by her brother.[citation needed]

In 1997, Cherie and Marie re-released Messin' with the Boys with seven bonus tracks,[8] In 1998, they held a concert at the Golden Apple in support of the re-release, Cherie's ex-bandmate West joined Cherie on stage to perform some of the Runaways songs.[14] In 1998, Cherie and Marie released a compilation called Young and Wild,[15] In 1999, Rocket City Records released Cherie's album The 80's Collection. The album features guest work done by Marie.[16][17]

Currie was portrayed by Riley Keough in the film The Runaways, about the band of the same name.[18]

Later years

On January 30, 2014, her novel The Narrow Road of Light was published.[19][20][21]

Personal life

Currie married Steve Lukather, lead guitarist and co-vocalist of Toto in November 1981.[citation needed] They met in the studio during the recording of Messin' with the Boys.[citation needed] They had two children together before divorcing.[citation needed] Currie and Lukather appeared on the cover of Steel Notes Magazine (alongside singer Debbie Harry, and model Josi Kat) with a lengthy feature story on her life and work featured in the issue.[22]

References in pop culture

On the cover of the Runaways "Neon Angels on the Roads to Ruin" single Currie's twin is wearing a shirt with Marie's name on it.[23]

Currie's then husband, Steve Lukather, wrote and dedicated Toto's songs, "I'll Be Over You" and "I Won't Hold You Back" to her.[citation needed]

Harmony Korine has stated that the characters Dot and Helen Darby (played by Chloë Sevigny and Carisa Glucksman) in his 1997 film Gummo "were based off [sic] a combination of Cherie and Marie Currie, home schooling, and the Shaggs."[24]

In 2018, a photo of Marie Currie appeared in Bad Reputation, a documentary about the career of Cherie's ex-bandmate, Joan Jett. In the documentary, Kim Fowley tells the story of how he would not allow them both to join the Runaways because he did not want a set of identical twins being backed by an all-girl rock band. Therefore, only Cherie joined.[25]
