Anita Pallenberg paid a high price for being a rock-star girlfriend | Suzanne Moore

Suzanne Moore: The actress and model was so much more than a style icon or Rolling Stones muse. But she had to live with being constantly compared to her 20-year-old self and found wanting

Both Pallenberg and her friend Marianne Faithfull have had to live with constantly being compared to their 20-year-old selves and found wanting. It is heartening that these women maintained a close friendship despite the coming and going of the men; that they are survivors not victims. Pallenberg spoke of drugs freezing her, so she did not grow emotionally. Faithfull has spoken of not being able to have sex without being semi-anaesthetised with drugs. Their stories remind us of what sexual liberation could mean for women in the 60s. These great beauties paid a huge price for being the “girlfriends” of rock stars. Both these clever, multilingual, arty women educated their boyfriends (Jagger and Richards) about culture and art and style. Pallenberg got the boys to wear her clothes. Everyone, Faithfull once told me, was in love with Keith, even Mick of course …

But to see Pallenberg as simply “a girlfriend” or style icon is to reduce her role. She influenced how the Stones looked and sounded much more than the average “rock wife/groupie”, although these were the confines in which she operated.

Her reward is to be deemed a muse. When I interviewed Pamela Des Barres, a famous groupie, she also spoke of being a muse, and I found it quite sad. For, inevitably, she was dumped for a younger muse. But now I see these women as trying to break out of the roles they were assigned. Having been sold sex as liberation, they found they lived in a world where they were not only to be judged against men but against other women for pursuing their desires. Women, it seems, cannot be their own muses. This is not an equal opportunities profession.
