She's a Rainbow: The Extraordinary Life of Anita Pallenberg

Anita Pallenberg, instantly recognisable as a member of The Rolling Stones’ rock ’n’ roll circus in the Sixties and Seventies, was no docile groupie. Fluent in four languages, she partied with the jet set in Rome, met Warhol, Ginsberg and Ferlinghetti in New York, was at home with London’s leading lights of popular culture and went on to star in over a dozen films, perhaps most notably in Performance.

A German-Italian rebel and social phenomenon, Anita consistently gravitated towards the next wave of movers and shakers. Full of extraordinary adventures with the rich and famous, as well as her personal triumphs and tragedies, She’s a Rainbow delves deep into her fascinating and moving story – for the first time ever.

Pallenberg epitomised the hedonistic counter-culture world of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll during the sixties and seventies; muse to the Rolling Stones and star of enduring cult movies like Barbarella and Performance, this is Anita's incredible story of excess, art, motherhood and her often unknown influence on one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

"How Anita came to be with Brian is really the story of how the Stones became the Stones. She almost single-handedly engineered a cultural revolution in London by bringing together the Stones and the jeunesse dorée… The Stones came away with a patina of aristocratic decadence that served as a perfect counterfoil to the raw roots blues of their music. This…transformed the Stones from pop stars into cultural icons." —Marianne Faithfull.
