RIP Marianne, I’ll never forget how I laughed when you called me a very cheeky young man :joy:

Remembering rediscovering her through ‘Broken English.’ Roller-coaster life, but some great songs -

A sort of English Nico, except better!

Always remembered, the original rock muse. So long Marianne (I know, it’s a different one😉). Saw her live as Mother in Berlin, 1990

I queued for hours, from dawn, for tickets to ‘Hamlet’ at the Roundhouse, 1969 where she played Ophelia, of course, to Nichol Williamson’s Hamlet.

She admits that she was stoned and shooting up in her dressing room when not on stage.

What a production! It was 56 years ago. I was 19. Now I can see and realise that the cast was a sizeable proportion of the leading and up-coming acting talent in London - plus Angelica Houston. :heart_eyes:

And directed by Tony Richardson.
