Anita Pallenberg

Born 1942-04-06 · Rome, Italy

​Anita Pallenberg (born April 6th 1942, Rome, Italy) was a German actress, model, and fashion designer. She worked on the film 'Performance' (1970) from the early stages, being one of the often uncredited writers, as well as one of the stars. Pallenberg was the woman who popularized the bohemian look, as opposed to mod-swinging London. By 1967, she had started helping her boyfriend, Keith Richards, dress. Almost all of Richard's 'iconic' style can be traced back to her and her closet. Richards claims "I was considered for a while, like, the best-dressed man in the world. It was because I was wearing Anita’s clothes.” Pallenberg has been cited as one of the main influences for British model Kate Moss as well, yet another rockstar trapped in a model's body. She was the romantic partner of Rolling Stones Keith Richards, from 1967 to 1979, by whom she has two children.

Magick Lantern Cycle poster
7.8

Cinematic magician, legendary provocateur, and author of Hollywood Babylon, Kenneth Anger was a unique figure in post-war American culture. His iconic short films are characterised by a mystical-symbolic visual language and phantasmagorical-sensual opulence that underscores the medium’s transgressive potential. Anger’s work fundamentally shaped the aesthetics of 1960s and 1970s subcultures, the visual lexicon of pop and music videos and queer iconography. These nine films form the basis of Anger’s reputation as one of the most influential pioneers of avant-garde film and video art.

The Rolling Stones: Stones in Exile poster

In 1971, to get breathing room from tax and management problems, the Stones go to France. Jimmy Miller parks a recording truck next to Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg's Blue Coast villa, and by June the band is in the basement a few days at a time. Upstairs, heroin, bourbon, and visitors are everywhere. The Stones, other musicians and crew, Pallenberg, and photographer Dominique Tarle, plus old clips and photos and contemporary footage, provide commentary on the album's haphazard construction. By September, the villa is empty; Richards and Jagger complete production in LA. "Exile on Main Street" is released to mediocre reviews that soon give way to lionization.
