Anita Pallenberg, an actress and model who starred opposite Mick Jagger in Performance and had three children with his Rolling Stones bandmate, Keith Richards, has died. She was 73.
Pallenberg died Tuesday, her friend Stella Schnabel, the daughter of painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, announced on Instagram. No cause of death was revealed.
In 1968, Pallenberg appeared as The Black Queen in Barbarella, starring Jane Fonda, and as Nurse Bollock with Marlon Brando and Richard Burton in Candy. She also filmed Performance that year, but Warner Bros. did not release the violent, hallucinogenic film until 1970.

Well my doctor friend told him that was not really possible. Then Ginger tells him that he gets and only uses Pharmaceutical grade heroin. Of course my friend asked how he could get that and Baker would not tell him, but went on to say he knew how much he could take, etc.. So my friend the doctor tells him he is the exception to the rule.
My friend told me that getting pure 100% Heroin as opposed to the street crap out there would be the main reason Ginger wasn't dead along with his knowledge of how to shoot up. Still he said he was amazed anyone could be a long time Heroin user like that and still be living.
Poor Anita, remember her well, like Marianne Faithful. The years were not kind to Anita, even Marianne looked better, at least she did a few years ago when I saw a picture of her.
The hard living caught up with her as it has with a number of of other again rockers.
And Keith Richards, man that guy just has some good Genes with all the abuse he has done to himself.
I think Brian Jones said of band mate Keith that “He nicked me position as a leader of the Stones and then he nicked me bird.”
...or something to that effect.
That’s what Keith said in his book, stick with pharmaceutical. Of course back then England had a program where you could register as a junky and get stuff straight from the government, add that to using your fame to know the right people and high quality is pretty easy.
He’s been off everything but weed, alcohol and cigs for years, decades.
Brian forgot to zip up.....
Barbarella made her, the “Great Tyrant” a sex symbol. Her voice was dubbed. All told, a very influential movie. Based on a comic book, and directed by the infamous Roger Vadim, who had a gift for turning good actresses into raving leftist loonies.
The movie is loaded with subtle and unsubtle humor, such as the villain named Durand-Durand, whose name was later modified and adopted by the pop group Duran Duran. And a minor hero who selected a password of “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”, which is the name of a real village in Wales, UK.
The city of evil, SoGo, which rests on a lake of liquid evil, is a contraction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Portraying Dr. Ping was famous French mime Marcel Marceau who was cast against type playing a very talky speaking part. Ironically, his voice was dubbed as well.
Just as he had the only speaking part in "Silent Movie."
I was forced to watch that movie and Roger Vadim should pay me $1 million for pain and suffering, Truly, one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
Not Brigitte Bardot.
I agree. I never wasted time on the movies reviews in Playboy after seeing Barbarella.
BTW what’s the latest on Hanoi Jane? I’m still waiting to piss on her grave.
What a wonderful smile! She was beautiful!
Ginger is a piece of work!
She was a Rolling Stone as she slept with most of them.
RIP.
When I saw Anita Pallenberg in the film Performance, I couldn't take my eyes off her. Genuinely beautiful, very sexy, spectacular smile, yet she seemed real and approachable. The film stars Mick Jagger as a famous rocker past his prime, his career on the skids. I couldn't feel sorry for his character. He still had Anita.
