"How Anita came to be with Brian is really the story of how the Stones became the Stones. She almost single-handedly engineered a cultural revolution in London by bringing together the Stones and the jeunesse dorée...The Stones came away with a patina of aristocratic decadence that served as a perfect counterfoil to the raw roots blues of their music. This...transformed the Stones from pop stars into cultural icons." --Marianne Faithfull Pallenberg epitomised the hedonistic counter-culture world of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll during the sixties and seventies; muse to the Rolling Stones and star of enduring cult movies like Barbarella and Performance, this is Anita's incredible story of excess, art, motherhood, and her often unknown influence on one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
