Jerry Hall Went From Model to Muse to Mom

She Didn’t Want to Dish the Dirt

A decade ago, Jerry Hall wrote the first draft of her autobiography, only to be told that it’s too dull. She didn’t add enough dirt on Mick Jagger – the father of her four children and the man she spent 23 years with. He’s the man she divorced because of his serial philandering. So, she gave back her advance to write the memoir and instead decided to make a coffee-table book with lots of alluring photos of herself.

She was, after all, one of the first supermodels. So why didn’t she want to dish the dirt on her ex-lover? It might have something to do with her Texan upbringing. What she did was produce a book that’s kind to everyone in it.
