Anita Pallenberg (Episode 16)




Muses and Stuff Podcast show

Summary: <p>“She was the most incredible woman I’d ever met. Dazzling, beautiful, hypnotic and unsettling. Her smile. Those carnivorous teeth obliterated everything. Other women evaporated next to her. I was utterly in her thrall and would have done anything for her” – Marianne Faithfull</p> <p>We’re talking about <strong>Anita Pallenberg.</strong></p> <p>This week welcomes back the always alluring and fiercely intelligent <strong>Lynx O’Leary</strong>. She’s here with another scintillating tale, and this one is about Anita Pallenberg. You may know Anita as the best friend of <strong>Marianne Faithfull</strong> or perhaps from her partnership with <strong>Keith Richards</strong> of the <strong>Rolling Stones</strong> with whom she had 3 children.</p> <p>The dolls open the show by talking about the perplexing and erotic movie “Performance” starring both Mick Jagger and Anita Pallenberg. Chanty gets under the covers with Mick for a brief moment and then asks Lynx a whole lot of questions about the boundary pushing movie.</p> <p>They discuss how Anita was bright, entertaining, manipulative, cosmopolitan and always the life of the party. Incredibly fashionable, Keith found his style- no surprise- by going through Anita’s closet. From her relationship first with Brian Jones to Keith Richards to Mick Jagger to her heroin addiction, Anita’s story is beyond fascinating… just like her.</p> <p>You’ll learn about her influence on Keith and hear excerpts from both Marianne and Keith’s autobiographies about this wild woman who gave Keith’s hard partying ways a run for his money. According to Marianne, Anita’s influence transformed the Stones “from pop stars to cultural icons”, and we agree.</p> <p>Find Lynx O’Leary on Goodreads</p> <p>Find Chanty online at www.musesandstuff.ptbopodcasters.ca</p> <p>on Facebook at Muses and Stuff Podcast and on Instagram @musesandstuffpodcast</p> <p>Don’t forget to Rate, Review and Subscribe to help a Groupie spread the good word!</p>
