chloe webb had only made a couple of films before taking on the role of nancy spungen in alex cox's iconic sid and nancy. since, she has only made minor television appearances and had a recurring role on china beach. i will never understand this. webb is absolutely riveting as the drug-addicted groupie-turned-girlfriend of sex pistols' bassist sid vicious (gary oldman), whose tragic life ended at 20 in a sleazy apartment at the chelsea hotel, stabbed to death. assumedly a difficult role for a relative newcomer, playing nancy spungen required tapping into a dark, painful life -- webb is not only brutal in her connection, she does it beautifully. webb received best actress awards from the boston society of film critics and the national society of film critics in 1987 for her role. greatest moment: her last fight with sid
