Robert Fraser, Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg

[kentucy9999]

None of these people. None of them were any "day at the beach." Believe me. They all could be "catty." They all could be very difficult. They all could be incredibly self centered. If you weren't in the "inner circle" they could be your friend one day and drop you like a bad habit the next day. Whether you're talking about the Warhol "clique" in New York or the Frasers, Pallenbergs, Jaggers, Lennons I'm not sure you'd want any of them as a bunk mate at summer camp. Interesting. Yes.

Well observed, Woodbell67; that is indeed Dennis Hopper, and also that is me at the far end of the sofa on the right. I was Robert Fraser's gallery assistant for several years, and his initial liaison with the developing psychedelic scene, as I was living in the same communal apartment as Syd Barrett as he was just getting going with Pink Floyd and acid...Marianne and Anita were friends, and in the case of the latter, briefly lovers...

[kentucy9999]

The gays were always a yr ahead of everybody else. We moved from Maine to NW Connecticut when I was 12. I went to a high school at 14 which was a reg hs. This area was 2 hrs from NY City. There were a number of artist "enclaves" nearby is this rural setting and a number of gay men amongst them. Anyway I somehow got involved in this "set" though I was a jock. This was back in 1969. We did acid. mescaline, mushrooms. The gays were the 1st to do this stuff. They were more interesting than the drab.

@kentucy9999 Pre-Madonna they ruled now the Gay scene in the media is too right, too racist and too commercial/recycled.

High, good times

Sober, bad times

[caesarcerf]

stop using my name @caesarcerf or i'll have you thrown off youtube.

again dude, heroin does not cause aging. myth. the sun is different. again, she just aged, period.  your mother is an exception. i won't reply on this issue, again.

[woodbell67]

1:56 Long shot, but is that Dennis Hopper in lower left ?

[kazraz72]

@woodbell67 Yes i think it is. He and Terry Southern (co writer on easy rider) did hang around in London at the time, so it is quite likely.

[caesarcerf]

some dude wondered if fraser a homosexual with tons of partners got aids "after arriving in England." JESUS! he's ENGLISH born, bred!

[caesarcerf]

anita must be 67-68, it might not be drug use. truthfully, if one gets adequate rest and nutrition and avoids speed etc. there's scant evidence one will 'age' preternaturally. she's JUST OLD, guys.

[OzTerri]

@caesarcerf 67-68 isn't that "old". She did heroin for years, smoked and got lots of sun .. hence terrible complexion and ageing. My mum's 10 years older than her but looks 40 years younger. Anita is still compelling. I saw her in Barbarella decades ago, and in her tiny amount of time on the screen she was intense and unforgettable. I remember thinking "wow .. whoever she is, she's the real deal".

[oreokookie1000]

@OzTerri yeah-- me mum's 78....never smoked or drank but weighed 125 till she was about 65, then her butt expanded.....the body xeroxes itself every 8 years or so, gets fatter each time!! Except for keith, he weighs less now than ever!

[caesarcerf]

Anita was into all that 'magikal' stuff and was one tough bird. interesting now that she's old how she frantically clings to her comfortable middle class life. she and richards spoke of "hanging it all out there," but they wanted wealth far too much to really do so. Robert Fraser did. And paid with his life.

However dudes who knock Richards, he is a TREMENDOUS jazz guitarist. watch the chuck berry/richards 1987 video. the man has talent, love/hate em.

[loveablemeggy]

i like how she has a grin at 4:02 after she says awful awful

[blackyfloyd]

LAUKEMP you are a fool on so many levels.

[TheTomppa72]

@blackyfloyd What is your sort of a mark in the real world?

[Dealit707]

Robert Fraser

[laukemp1]

When you get right down to the nitty gritty, Anita Pallenberg is is nothing more than a pathetic worn out old junkie groupie/whore, who never made any sort of a mark in the real world. When she was with Keith Richards, another pathetic old junkie, she went through three pregnancies while continually satisfying her heroin habit. One of her newborn children myseriously died shortly after birth, but that's just the way it goes when you're Anita "All about me" Pallenberg.

btw: Ginsburg was a phony.

[mellylin]

@laukemp1 nasty post, anita pallenberg is human just like everyone else

[TheTomppa72]

@laukemp1 Sorry, that was for laukemp1

[blackyfloyd]

@laukemp1 you're just a shit slinging nobody. Keith Richards is among the single most influential musicians that has ever lived! he's done more in a 3 minute song then a worm like you could produce in a dozen lifetimes! do climb back into your pile of manure now.

[sclapione]

@laukemp1 All more interesting than you, I'm sure

[squashedtomato]

@laukemp1 think it was cot death..listen she gave up drugs and survived. Why such a crime for a woman to get old? Keith looks old too. The Stones learnt charisma from her and Brian Jones (guess he had to go then!). They were talented but practicly a bunch of school boys apart from Brian, before she came a long- watch interviews pre 1965. She got together with Keith, suddenly he became the human riff.

Its not RF's Daimler - its Keefs Bentley

[Missjanis123]

bull freaking shit, Criminal, you've been reading too many comic books, he's mad for Pat. And Pallenberg was dead hot when she was younger, still is somewhat, but you can't stop the clock, and H only makes it run faster.

[CriminalGovernment1]

Anita looks like Richards

he still pines for her

[Buttrflyz0801]

@CriminalGovernment1 He does? How would you know that?

[KellyGreen5555]

@mulhane89 Yes, but even when Anita was young, I found her to be hard looking. Good looking, but one tough chick.

[triptoheaveandho]

@mulhane89

nah =its because she is almost 70 years old now=and apparently she hasnt got facelifts andstuff like many of them do

[blindnarcissus]

oh anita.

[287654321]

Was R. F. assassinated thru use of AIDS as murder weapon ? He only got aids AFTEr arriving in England. Probably so. 

[PadrethePio]

God, Anita looks haggard...

[Ssssstones]

happy 67th Anita !!!
