Artistfacts:
Her birth name: Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull.
The first time the F-word was spoken in a movie was by her in I'll Never Forget What's'isname (1967).
Poet Allen Ginsberg, an old friend, named her "Professor of Poetics, Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poets."
Through her mother, Marianne is a direct descendant of Count Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the infamous 19th century Austrian nobleman whose classic erotic novel Venus In Furs spawned the word "Masochism."
She ranked #25 on VH1's 100 Greatest Women of Rock 'N Roll.
Some of the lyrics to the Rolling Stones song "Wild Horses" were allegedly about her break up with Mick Jagger. (thanks, Anthony R. Vario - North Smithfield, RI, for all above)
She was arrested in 1979 at the Oslo, Norway, airport for possession of marijuana. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)
