Mandy Moon

[Luzzly]

There is a headstone in Highgate Cemetery with the name Mandy Moon. She was born in 1961 and died 1986. Does anyone know who she was, or anything about her?

There are a lot of people who would love to know the answer to your question!

Francesc Miralles wrote about 'the mysterious Mandy Moon', in Highgate Cemetery, in a romantic novella (Retrum 2: La nieve negra), which in turn inspired a song by the band Nikosia. An American blogger has even taken Mandy Moon's name as her own screen name

but nobody seems to know anything about her.

Thanks Buenchico - so strange and mysterious. I wonder if we will ever find out.

This newspaper article says that she was the daughter of Keith Moon and Kim McLagan:

No that's not her Bookbinder- the one being sought died in the 80's, that Mandy Moon was still alive in 2006.

Whoever she was I can't find a birth for either a Mandy or an Amanda Moon in 1961- so perhaps not British or at least not born in Britain or Moon was her married name.
