That's interesting, thanks for all the knowledge.

Thanks Adam.  I love rock/pop trivia.  It will be interesting to see how much Marianne Faithfull’s items fetch in the Bonhams sale next month.  I think they will fetch a lot more than the estimates, especially the Rolling Stones memorabilia. Just looking online and I read Marianne moved to Putney to be closer to her first husband, John Dunbar, and their son,  Nicholas.

It also appears in photos shot in her Putney apartment for the sleeve of her spoken word album of romantic poetry 'She Walks In Beauty' (2021).'

There was a lot in the paper yesterday, it also appeared the person who supplied the drugs used to bring in a lot of mars bars because people on drugs were always hungry. Obviously that isn't the story we all heard years ago.

She has denied it. The police planted the story apparently.

Lucille Grant ● 293d

Yes me as well, wasn't that old.

Barbara Stevens ● 294d

I know! She was actually a very talented woman but what a thing to be remembered for. Just noticed a typo in my first post which of course should have said the 60's - gawd that makes me feel old!🙀

Sue Hammond ● 294d

Ha Ha, how could we ever forget the Mars Bar.

Barbara Stevens ● 294d

Only 78 and reported to have died peacefully at home. Her and Jagger were always in the news in the 70's and their antics allegedly boosted the sales of Mars bars. Who knows if it was true or just an urban myth?🤷🏻‍♀️
