The primary love interest in Almost Famous, Penny Lane is a groupie with strong feelings for Russell Hammond. Although her infatuation isn’t an issue at first, Penny is forced to take a back seat when Hammond’s girlfriend joins the band on tour.

Along with her friends, Lane is gambled off to a rival band, and the move deals a harsh blow to the groupie. When she’s later kicked out of a party because of Russell’s girlfriend, Penny contemplates taking her life, only for William to intervene before it’s too late.
