ANAHEIM, Calif. — Documentary filmmaker Bobbi Jo Hart had never heard of Fanny, the first all-female rock band to release an album on a major label, when she stumbled onto a biography of lead guitarist June Millington on the Taylor Guitars website about eight years ago.
“She found it, and she had the same reaction that thousands of people do now: ‘What? How come I never heard of you?’” Millington says, laughing. “She got my number, and she called me right off.”
Hart’s instincts were good because Fanny, the band formed by Millington and her sister Jean Millington with Alice de Buhr and Nickey Barclay, truly was a groundbreaking group.
