Summary

This is a richly detailed portrait of a woman who has lived an incredible life, one that far transcends her best known role as courtesan to the chief Rolling Stone. From aristocratic lineage to convent school, stardom to attempted suicide, junkie to punk, Marianne has seen her life flash by in banner headlines.

Researched through over 50 interviews with her family, former lovers and friends, this reveals the truth behind the headlines, the person behind the profile. Updated and extensively revised by one of the UK s most acclaimed writers, it is a candid, illuminating account of an endearing yet misunderstood artist.

Loved the narration

I loved the readers’ voice when she imitated Marianne - she sounds really like her - I didn’t realise what a bore Marianne was in the difficult years but am glad she got her act together- I like her - let’s hope the movie gets off the ground while she ( and I ) are still around
