Little kid, was it a boy or a girl??


The little kid in the skirt, looks and sounds like a boy. Cant find any mention on the credit list to confirm though!!

Best line ever - Mum says y'wanna egg?

possibly to do with gender identity that was going on in the late 60's... mick Jagger wears loads of make up in the film and then so does James Fox when he gets all hippy!

someone i know just discovered 'memo from turner'
was telling him it was from a long ago movie,which,as i recall,kinda sucked

what my mind seems to think is that during the scene where mick sings 'memo'
he's in a bathtub with some very young girl


anyone
am i anywhere near correct in this assumption?

The little kid is a girl, played by Laraine Wickens. She has loads of great lines.

There isn't a scene with her and Jagger in the bath (don't think even Cammell and Roeg would've tried to get away with that) but I think she might bring Jagger a cup of tea while he's in the bath (if memory serves).

i was wrong about 'memo from turner' during bath scene
someone directed me to youtube for song scene where entire scene posted several times

search 'memo from turner'

"... loads of great lines." - indeed!
I think Chas is the one in the tub, in bad shape after an intoxicated evening, where the girl brings him a cup of tea ... I think she looks at him - and delivers "You're pissed!"

man - it's been ages since my last viewing of this amazing film - gotta find a DVD and someone with a big screen and good sound system

The scene of Jagger doing 'Memo From Turner' is a-*beep*-mazing.

If I have to tell you again, we're gonna take it outside and I'm gonna show you what it's like!
