With the Rolling Stones

Pallenberg's influence over the development and presentation of the Rolling Stones from the late sixties throughout the seventies was significant and has been documented in many publications on the band during this period and afterwards, such as A.E. Hotchner’s Blown Away: The Rolling Stones and the Death of the Sixties, Stanley Booth’s Dance With the Devil: The Rolling Stones and Their Times and The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones, Barbara Charone’s Keith Richards: Life As a Rolling Stone and Tony Sanchez’s Up and Down With the Rolling Stones among other sources.

Pallenberg played an unusual role in the male dominated world of rock and roll in the late sixties, acting as much more than just a groupie or wife of a band member. There are published anecdotes that her opinion was so grudgingly respected by Mick Jagger that tracks on Beggars Banquet were brought back into the studio and remixed when Pallenberg found them wanting just weeks before the official release date. In the 2002 compilation release of Forty Licks, Pallenberg is credited as singing background vocals on "Sympathy for the Devil". Besides her influence over the Stones' musical content, her interest in the occult was a featured style component that marked the Stones concerts and public presentation throughout the decade that she was the common-law companion of Richards. Tony Sanchez’s recounting of his time as Richard’s body guard and drug dealer is replete with vignettes of Pallenberg’s strange spiritual practices. Rock and roll (also spelled Rock n Roll, especially in its first decade), also called rock, is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles. ...

The word occult comes from the Latin occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to the knowledge of the secret or knowledge of the hidden and often popularly meaning knowledge of the supernatural, as opposed to knowledge of the visible or knowledge of the measurable, usually referred to as science. ...

She was obsessed with black magic and began to carry a string of garlic with her everywhere--even to bed--to ward off vampires. She also had a strange mysterious old shaker for holy water which she used for some of her rituals. Her ceremonies became increasingly secret, and she warned me never to interrupt her when she was working on a spell. (Sanchez, Up & Down with the Rolling Stones)

Although she was the mother of Richards’ children and ruler of the household in a domestic sense, she shared many of her husband’s vices and was in fact charged first in the 1977 Toronto heroin arrest that almost destroyed the Rolling Stones. A warrant for her arrest was the reason police came to search Richards and Pallenberg’s hotel rooms, yet her charge for marijuana possession was dismissed when the larger charge against Richards was expedited. The relationship between Richards and Pallenberg waned after Richards cleaned up under threat of imprisonment and he stated in a 1981 Rolling Stone magazine interview that his lawyers told the couple to separate, or they would end up in more serious trouble. Yet Richards also stated that he still loved Anita and saw her as much as he ever did, despite his budding devotion to his future wife Patti Hansen. In a 1985 Rolling Stone magazine interview, Mick Jagger claimed that Pallenberg “nearly killed me” when he was asked whether the Rolling Stones had any responsibility for the personal drug addictions of people close to the band, like Marshall Chess, John Phillips and Pallenberg. Nevertheless, Richards continued to welcome Pallenberg to family events and concert tours, where she often accompanies her children and grandchildren and reportedly is close friends with Patti Hansen. Singer Marianne Faithfull was also Jagger's girlfriend during late 1960s, and remains a great friend of Pallenberg's. They appeared together in the fourth series (2001) of the BBC-TV/Comedy Central/Saunders and French production of "Absolutely Fabulous" in episode four "Donkey", with Marianne Faithfull playing "God" and Anita Pallenberg "The Devil" in a dream sequence experienced by Jennifer Saunders' character of "Edina Monsoon".

Cleared of manslaughter

In 1979, a seventeen year old boy, Scott Cantrell, shot himself in the head in Pallenberg's bed with a gun owned by Keith Richards, in the home shared by Richards and Pallenberg in Waterbury, Connecticut. The youth had been employed as a part-time groundskeeper at the estate and was involved with Pallenberg in an intimate relationship. Richards was in Paris recording with the Rolling Stones, but his son was present in the home when the teenager killed himself. Pallenberg was arrested but the death was ruled as a suicide in 1980, despite rumours that Pallenberg and Cantrell had been playing a game of Russian Roulette with the gun. The police investigation confirmed that Pallenberg was not in the room or on the same floor of the home when the fatal shot was fired. (Charone, Hotchner, Booth). Keith Richards (a. ...

Stones Goddess: Anita Pallenberg (1417 words)
Anita Pallenberg was my ideal image of rock 'n roll when I saw her as Pherber in "Performance" - messy blond hair, witchy and bohemian, incredible charisma, daring to break all of society's codes.
Anita is a femme fatale in this movie almost by accident, and her reactions to the murder and coverup that follow is almost nonchalant, as if she really can't help but lead men into danger.
Anita seems very adult and confident for her 19 years, I can't imagine one of today's "actresses" of that same age coming across with the same air of maturity and awareness.
