The Legendary Troll King
Wendy O. Williams
A former sex show performer, Wendy O. Williams became queen of the underground punk scene in New York City. She was loud, brash and utterly inappropriate. Her band, The Plasmatics, was never really known for its music but for Williams' stage antics, though she was nominated for a Grammy in 1985. Usually half-naked on stage, Williams would smash TVs with a sledgehammer, chainsaw guitars and blow up the occasional automobile. Following some failed attempts at suicide, Williams fatally shot herself in April 1998 at age 48.
