Bright Moments Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) This probably belongs in the "who are you just now discovering" thread but i figured that MF needed her own thread. I have completely overlooked her and only recently on a whim sought out her recordings. Boy am I glad I did! So far I have listened to : Come My Way Rich Kid Blues and Broken English You can't pidgeonhole this lady - that's for sure! I am currently enjoying: Excellent!!!

sidewinder Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Saw this movie featuring her recently. A very credible performance - and it's certainly not your average movie material: Irina Palm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Moments Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 from IMDb web page: Trivia John Dunbar got custody of their son Nicholas after the divorce. The first time the F-word was spoken in a movie was by her in I'll Never Forget What's'isname (1967). Poet Allen Ginsberg, an old friend, named her "Professor of Poetics, Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poets." Now a grandmother of two living in Ireland. Reportedly working on a follow-up to her 1994 autobiography, "Faithfull", which is being turned into a screenplay. Through her mother, Marianne is a direct descendant of Count Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the infamous 19th century Austrian nobleman whose classic erotic novel, "Venus in Furs", spawned the word "masochism". Ranked #25 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock N Roll Some of the lyrics to The Rolling Stones' song "Wild Horses" were allegedly about her break-up with Mick Jagger. Biography/bibliography in: "Contemporary Authors". New Revision Series, vol. 134, pages 137-138. Farmington Hills, MI: Thomson Gale, 2005. September 2006 - According to her website, Marianne is being treated for breast cancer. The prognosis was stated to be excellent. Has made a full recovery from breast cancer after undergoing surgery [November 6, 2006]. Attended a Roman Catholic girls school in her youth. Lives in Paris with her manager François Ravard. In 1967 she was among those arrested in a drug raid by British police at the residence of Keith Richards. Her mother was a baroness, her father was an officer in British Intelligence. The Rolling Stones' song "As Tears Go By" was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards--their first collaboration--for her. Was best friends with Anita Pallenberg when they both dated The Rolling Stones band members ( Faithfull dated Mick Jagger and Pallenberg dated Brian Jones).
