D'arcy Wretzky

D'arcy Elizabeth Wretzky (born May 1, 1968) is an American musician. She is best known for her work as the bass player in The Smashing Pumpkins. After a concert at a local rock club, Wretzky overheard Billy Corgan criticizing the band that had performed. An argument and discussion followed, and Corgan recruited her into his band. Wretzky is the credited bassist on the Smashing Pumpkins' first five studio albums. It was confirmed by both her and Corgan, however, that Corgan played the bass tracks for Siamese Dream because he could complete them in far fewer takes. In 1999, Wretzky left the band to pursue an acting career.

 














It's possibly best not to ask what happened after the acting career.
