An astute reader and fan of Anita Pallenberg commented on our item about her and led us to a site devoted to the Rolling Stones muse. We were particularly fascinated by this old photo of the audience at the London premier of The Beatles’ 1968 movie “Yellow Submarine.” Anita and Keith are in the second row. How many celebrities of yesteryear can you spot in the crowd?
It seems like a lot of rockstar types die young, and if they don’t their drugging, chainsmoking, and partying catches up to them. Rock chick Anita Pallenberg was a gorgeous model/actress in the swinging sixties – she dated at least two Rolling Stones and toured the world with the band. (That’s her in the top photo with Mick and Keith in 1968) She dated Brian Jones for two years and afterward hooked up with Keith Richards for twelve years. They had three kids together. Anita’s 65 now (she was photographed outside a supermarket, looking cranky) and we think she might have aged better if she’d taken care of herself, but she DID have an extraordinary amount of fun!
