Anita Pallenberg has been given many labels throughout her life. She was dubbed the “queen of the underground,” the Rolling Stones’ muse, Keith Richards’ lover, a style icon, and a rock ‘n’ roll legend. Sometimes, glamorous labels such as these are a little empty, but in Pallenberg’s case, they hit the nail on the head. The woman really was what legends are made of.
The late Anita Pallenberg (who died in 2017 at the age of 75) lived the kind of “groupie” life that men and women alike might find themselves envious of. She found herself a spot in the Stones’ entourage, first as Richards’ lover, then as a muse who would essentially influence the group in ways that proved legendary.
