Biography

​Anita Pallenberg (born April 6th 1942, Rome, Italy) was a German actress, model, and fashion designer. She worked on the film 'Performance' (1970) from the early stages, being one of the often uncredited writers, as well as one of the stars. Pallenberg was the woman who popularized the bohemian look, as opposed to mod-swinging London. By 1967, she had started helping her boyfriend, Keith Richards, dress. Almost all of Richard's 'iconic' style can be traced back to her and her closet. Richards claims "I was considered for a while, like, the best-dressed man in the world. It was because I was wearing Anita’s clothes.” Pallenberg has been cited as one of the main influences for British model Kate Moss as well, yet another rockstar trapped in a model's body. She was the romantic partner of Rolling Stones Keith Richards, from 1967 to 1979, by whom she has two children.
