Was married to
Rancid frontman
Tim Armstrong, whom she met on New Year's Eve 1995, when she was just 16. At the time, Brody lied about her age, claiming that she was 19. When she was legal, she moved to California
with him and, a few weeks later, they were married. After their divorce,
Brody underwent a complete image overhaul; she cut off her mohawk, denied her punk roots, even changed
The Distillers' raw punk sound on their third album. And in a move that completely cut all ties with her former punk persona, changed her last name from Armstrong to Dalle. While mistakenly reported as her maiden name (which is actually Pucilowski), the name change was because of actress
Béatrice Dalle, who is the star of Brody's favorite film,
37°2 le matin (1986) (aka Betty Blue). It was because of Beatrice that Brody dyed her hair from blonde to black.
