Biography
It is difficult to say which came first, Pink's clever name, or the color of her hair. Regardless of which inspired which, the rock star's glowing neon-pink locks, in combination with her youthful rock & roll sounds, make her name impossible to forget. Pink was born Alecia Moore on September 8, 1979, in Doylestown, PA. She was raised in nearby Philadelphia, where she broke into the music scene at an age defying the laws of curfew, and had released her first solo album (Can't Take Me Home) by the age of 19, in the spring of 2000. Her successful pop music career led to her performance of the song "Lady Marmalade" in the film
Moulin Rouge starring
Nicole Kidman in 2001. Pink made several television appearances on the MTV Music Awards, and released a performance video, Pink: Most Girls/There You Go, in 2000. In 2002, she appeared in the feature film
Rollerball, an action-fantasy film starring
