"Queen of Shock Rock" best known as lead singer for the Plasmatics, with her trademark Mohawk, taking sledgehammers to TV's, chainsawing guitars in two, and blowing up a Milwaukee cop car. Wendy made a run at a solo career after the Plasmatics split in 1982. She scored a Grammy nomination for Female Rock Vocalist in 1985. Wendy tried her hand at movies and TV including roles in Reform School Girls and Macgyver. She left the entertainment world to care for animals, she was an animal lover. According to her manager and long time partner, Rod Swenson, she became despondent and was having difficulty adjusting to life. Wendy committed suicide on April 6, 1998, a day we won't soon forget.

We loved her beyond what words can say, and it took much deliberation for us to part with this one of three autographs we were able to get her to sign.(Two magazine pictures and half of her guitar she cut during one of her shows, all in our store.) The night she signed these items, which was rare, she did not sign items too often, we caught her behind the bowling alley w she had just done a show, she was about to leave and she signed for us and spoke to us for a while. It was really an honor to meet her, she was A GREAT PERSON!! This read more
