anita pallenberg


viewed "performance," then a "special feature" in which several key players responsible for making the film - the producer, editor, etc. - discuss it, and let's just say that time has not been kind to anita. couldn't believe the woman discussing her parts in the film was the same beauty i'd just seen in that great supporting role.

have to chalk her case up to 'lifestyle,' because, if you've seen how attractive some older hollywood actresses still are (goldie hawn, farrah fawcett...), you can see why the rock 'n roll lifestyle has been called 'decadent.' it's right there in anita's face.

Aside from being a recovered Heroin addict she also has Hepatitis C, which certainly does you no favors. It is pretty tragic when you consider what a beauty she once was, but Keith Richards, her longtime love, now looks just as bad. Granted, he wasn't super-gorgeous to start with like Anita.

Anita was quite a beauty back in the day (what an ass) - she nearly completely destroyed the stones as well as influencing them greatly .
Marianne Faithfull is in a similar bracket -Both girls had quite a trip so they cant complain too much . And they say you get the face you deserve in the end ....

No SaucyBetty - you're wrong about Keef. He *was* super-gorgeous in his prime.

I agree. Keith was Hot when he was young.

keith still looks amazing!

Farrah Fawcett looks attractive to you NOW ? Dude, check that prescription ;) ! As for Goldie Hawn, I think she got "enhanced" a bit.

reply

Hey, she partied hard, played in the sun, and didn't pay over 100K for plastic surgery and botox like Goldie et al. This is what real people look like when they are OLD! God love her!

reply

Agreed. What a dumb comparison.
Anita has more charisma, wit and intelligence in her little finger than the blow-dried plasticated likes of FFM ever had.
Which would you rather have on your cool-CV? The first season in Charlies Angels - which you left because you pig-headedly thought you were far too big a star for TV - or Performance?
And what's the difference when it comes to drugs? Farrah gets her fixes on prescription and made an ass of herself on chatshows, denying everything. Anita was a gosh!horror! street-smack junkie who kept her class: she kicked well over a decade ago and has since done regular ground-level voluntary work with the London Samaritans for those still struggling. And not with those peabrained 'celeb' Priory types, the "Oh I had a drink 2 nights running I've gotta go rehab" types either, but those hardcore street-level users ignored by fashionable charity and despised by society.
And rather Anita's natural human face of warmth and experience than Farrah's mangled, twisted, spazzed-out travesty of a covered skull. These ladies are well into their 60s! They are not supposed to look like 40 year olds and those that try to end up looking like shyt.

Anita Pallenberg was featured in one of the "dailys" recently in a photo session outside Waitrose, looking grumpy and dragging on a fag. Did any one else see it? However, apparently she still looks after Keith Richards' house when he is in America. He is a tax exile, so there must be some warmth left there. When asked about that scene in the film where she injects into her rump, she still maintains it was vitamin B12 she was using. But then she has had over 40 years in which to rehearse the answers.
But cheer-up. For those of you who have fallen in love with the dreamy-eyed Pherber, I have put her portrait on Flickr Photostream where she keeps company with the equally delectable Michele Breton. All you need is a Password: "finnegansword" of course!
