Courtney Clarke, Jerry Cantrell's girlfriend of seven years. Their tormented relationship inspired Jerry to write some of Alice In Chains' most successful songs, such as Down in a Hole, Rain When I Die, Heaven Beside You and some others released on his solo records, such as Angel Eyes, She Was My Girl, Settling Down, Siren Song. It is said that they met at a Guns 'n Roses concert in 1989, he recalled in an interview that "she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen". Their relationship allegedly lasted until 1997 circa because of Jerry's problems with monogamy. She then went on with her life marrying another man and having a daughter while Jerry never married, even though he had other - mostly brief - relationships as well in the last 20 years.

The pictures are taken from The Nona Tapes, you can see her at minute 22.35, she was probably being recorded by Jerry himself.
