Anita Pallenberg

Anita Pallenberg (born 25 January 1944) is a model, actress and fashion designer. She was the romantic partner of Brian Jones from 1965 to 1967 and Keith Richards from 1967 to 1979. Both Rolling Stones members.

Pallenberg was born in Rome, the daughter of an Italian artist and a German secretary. At an early age she became fluent in four languages and studied medicine, picture restoration and graphic design. Before settling in London, she lived in Germany, Rome and New York City, where she was involved with the Living Theater, starring in the play Paradise Now, which featured on-stage nudity, and Andy Warhol's Factory. Pallenberg is known for her romantic involvement with Rolling Stones band members Brian Jones, whom she met in 1965 in Munich where she was working on a modelling assignment, and Keith Richards, for whom she left Jones in 1967 while on holiday in Morocco. There were rumours that she also had a brief affair with Mick Jagger during the filming of Performance, although Pallenberg denied the affair in March 2007 when Performance was released on DVD. Pallenberg and Richards had three children: son Marlon (born 10 August 1969), Angela (née Dandelion; born 17 April 1972) and a second son, Tara (b. 1976 - d.1976), who died in his crib only 10 weeks after his birth. Pallenberg has appeared in more than a dozen films over a forty year span. Most notably, she appeared as The Great Tyrant in Roger Vadim's cult-classic sci-fi film Barbarella, the sleeper wife of Michel Piccoli in the film Dillinger Is Dead, directed by Marco Ferreri. She appeared in a 1968 documentary about the Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil, directed by French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard.

Singer Marianne Faithfull, Jagger's girlfriend in the late 1960s, remains a great friend of Pallenberg's. They appeared together in the fourth series (2001) of the BBC-TV/Comedy Central/ Saunders and French production of Absolutely Fabulous in episode four, "Donkey", with Faithfull playing "God" and Pallenberg "The Devil" in a dream sequence experienced by Jennifer Saunders' character Edina Monsoon.

Pallenberg became a fashion designer during the 1990s, after four years at London's St. Martins School of Art and Design. She now divides her time between New York City and Europe, and sporadically appears in public as a party DJ.
