Sid and Nancy, the movie based on the chaotic life and deaths of Sex Pistols' Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, featuring Gary Oldman as Vicious and Chloe Webb as Spungen, made its debut in England.
The film also features future rock star/rock widow Courtney Love as enabler "Gretchen." Her appearance is notable because Love can be seen with her original face.
