Sabel was a notorious LA groupie who had previously been “dating”
Robert Plant and “met” Iggy Pop, when the New York Dolls arrived in
town and she met Johnny Thunders. They fell in love, and Sabel moved with him to New York, where she met Nancy. Sabel would occasionally stay at her apartment: Nancy’s mother recalled in her book how she took them out for dinner (referring to “Sable” as a “tall, striking model”), and Nancy often called Sabel her best friend. Sabel Starr passed away from illness in 2009.
