Unfortunately, this groupie’s most famous tale does not have a happy ending. Many have heard her name in relation to John Belushi and his tragic death. However, before that horrible event, she spent a good deal of time with The Band and inspired a lyric in their song “The Weight.” Her lyrical influence did not stop there. “Sundown” by Canadian Gordon Lightfoot was written about their rocky relationship. Not to mention, she also sang backup. According to her, Richard Manuel from The Band proposed to her, but she turned him down.

Up next, we have a groupie who went above and beyond. No, this is not another ecstatic fan who just want to brag about romances with rockers. Actually, Cynthia thought creating special art was the best gift for her favorite rockers. So now she has become famous for these plaster casts of private parts of musicians. Even Frank Zappa applauded her skills and aided her move to LA so she could continue her artistic journey. If you were wondering, the famous Jimi Hendrix was her very first mold! What a brave soul.
