But none left admirers of the movie more curious than super-groupie Pennie Lane (played by Kate Hudson, who received an Academy Award nomination). Yes, there is a real Pennie Lane, and, yes, she is back. And after a quarter of a century away from music, the real Pennie Lane (not her true surname, but the one she is choosing to use for her music business venture, as well as to protect her privacy) has returned to… Read more »
