Nancy Spungen (1958-1978) was from Philadelphia. She was born cyanotic and, based on descriptions of her behavior and diagnoses provided in Deborah
Spungen's book, probably psychotic.
Nancy spent 1977-78 in England and it was there she met
Sid Vicious, a member of the then-infamous Sex Pistols. Vicious killed her
on 10/12/78 and he later committed suicide in early 1979.
Nancy Spungen was a person who had a family who loved her and who does not deserve to be further
vilified in death than she already has been. Nancy Spungen was a person,
not a definition and certainly not someone to be
reviled.
