They had three kids together, including Marlon, Angela and Tara – a boy who died at only two months old of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Much of the documentary is devoted to Anita’s lengthy if troubled relationship with Richards, which lasted from roughly 1967-1980. A mutual friend says that Jagger fell in love with her, but she writes in her memoir, “The funny thing is, I never really fancied Mick at all.”Ĭrushed by the one-sided attraction, the film says Jagger was inspired to write “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Similarly, Keith’s tortured romantic and possessive feelings for Pallenberg inspired him to write “Gimme Shelter.” (For those keeping score of Stones-Pallenberg connections, Anita also contributed some background vocals to “Sympathy for the Devil.”).Īnita Pallenberg, Keith Richards and kids attend a screening of ‘Gimme Shelter,’ in Cannes, 1970. The two spent decades denying they hooked up at the time, but in her memoir she comes clean, saying they did indeed engage in a casual affair while she was then partnered with Richards, and that Richards knew about it. The two worlds intersected when Mick Jagger took on his first major acting role, playing a rock star in Performance, which co-starred Pallenberg. Pallenberg notes her growing fame but says she understood it was nothing next to the frenetic worldwide attention attracted by the Rolling Stones.
