The 80s Forum Star of today is...Toyah Wilcox.


Toyah Ann Willcox (born May 18, 1958 in Kings Heath, Birmingham) is an English actress and singer


Toyah Willcox trained as an actress at the Old Rep Drama School in her home town of Birmingham and first became well-known during the punk rock era, her appearances in Derek Jarman's 1977 film Jubilee and 1979's Who album-inspired Quadrophenia, launching her as a provocative and anti-establishment figure, an image she eventually threw off.


Her singing career took off shortly afterwards, with hits such as "I Want To Be Free" and "It's A Mystery". In 1983, she was voted Best Female Singer at the British Rock and Pop Awards since restyled as The Brit Awards, or "Brits" ? and in 1986 she married avant-garde musician, Robert Fripp.
