Uncover the Untold Secrets of The Rolling Stones with Anita Pallenberg’s Hidden Tapes – Revelations from Mick Jagger and Keith Richards’ Muse
Marlon Richards, son of the legendary Keith Richards, is not one to shy away from defending his mother, Anita Pallenberg, when he comes across hurtful comments about her on Rolling Stones-related clips on YouTube. In a recent interview via Zoom from his home in West Sussex, Marlon expressed his frustration with people who make assumptions about his mother without truly knowing her. He firmly believes that the public should see Anita for who she truly was, rather than the misconceptions that have been circulating.
And now, Marlon has the opportunity to set the record straight with a new documentary titled Catching Fire. Clocking in at almost two hours, this film offers a comprehensive and multifaceted view of Keith Richards’s iconic girlfriend from the Sixties and Seventies, shedding light on aspects of her life that have never before been explored in other depictions. Despite this, there are still scenes in the documentary that may only serve to reinforce the negative judgments some have held about her.
In one of Pallenberg’s writings from a few years prior to her passing in 2017 at the age of 75, she bravely declares, “I’ve been called a witch, a slut, and a murderer. I’ve been hounded by the police and slandered in the press. But I don’t need to settle scores. I’m reclaiming my soul.” These powerful words stem from a memoir that Pallenberg had been working on but never published, which Marlon stumbled upon in her London apartment after her death. “I had no idea she’d been writing this,” he admits. “She was very much like that – quite devious.”
Through this documentary, Marlon hopes to reveal the true essence of his mother, Anita Pallenberg. He wants the world to see beyond the labels and rumors, and truly understand the woman she was. Join us on this journey as we delve into the life, trials, and triumphs of the enigmatic Anita Pallenberg, through the eyes of her son and the pages of her personal memoir.
