“After meeting Scout this weekend, I feel so much better,” said Ford. “She has a heart and soul, unlike some of the people behind the movie. She also hawks a mean loogey and really is a lot like me. We both cried the first time we spoke. Scout rocks.”

Compton, who is also a singer and a drummer, said, “Lita Ford is an icon of rock and has always been a personal hero of mine…. I can’t wait for her to see the film. I put my heart and soul into portraying her and to find out she is such an amazing person was truly a blessing for me. It’s something I’ll never forget!”
