She Hated Being Called the Aerosmith Chick
At the young age of 17, Alicia Silverstone played the teen heroine in three of Aerosmith’s videos – “Cryin,” “Amazing” and “Crazy.”
The moment “Cryin” aired on MTV in the summer of ‘93, she became a rock & roll muse. A youthful darling that people grew more and more curious about. An angelic-looking teen who impulsively tattooed herself and bungee jumped from bridges.
“People would call me ‘The Aerosmith chick,’” she told Cinema Blend, “and I was like 17 and I was very offended! Because I was like, ‘I’m a very serious actress. How could you? The Aerosmith chick? That was really’… and now I think it’s hilarious! But at the time, I was like, ‘That’s so rude.’”
