How Did Rusty Support Herself?
Have seen this movie many times, but I have never figured out how Rusty supports herself and Rocky.
Anyone else know?

It's likely that the many bikers she hung out with, all chipped in with money for bills and beer?
shareI don't think she was THAT much of a low-life - sponging off of her friends.
I believe Rusty says at one point, " I've got to get to work." Other than that, the film doesn't reveal anything about her income.
I never thought about it before. But I definitely don't think she took money from her ex-boyfriend.
I always remembered her comment to her friend, "You take their money, you gotta take their sh#t."
The real Rusty worked as a go-go dancer and door-to-door saleswoman to make ends meet while Rocky was alive. In 1985 (Rocky died in 1978) she worked as a counselor at Narcotics Anonymous.
