Anita Pallenberg (born January 25, 1944, in Rome) is a model, actress and fashion designer who was the common-law wife of Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards from 1967 to 1977.
She is best known for romantic involvement with three of the Rolling Stones band members: first Brian Jones (whom she met in 1965), she then left Jones for Keith Richards in 1967. She and Richards have three children, a son named Marlon (1969) who is now married to Franco-Welsh fashion model Lucie de La Falaise; a daughter, Dandelion (1972) who now goes by the name Angela; and another son, Tara, who was born in 1976 but died of health complications soon after birth. Like Richards, Pallenberg is a recovering heroin addict.
She also had a brief affair with The Stones' singer Mick Jagger while filming the movie Performance. She also starred as the Black Queen in the film Barbarella.
After breaking up with Richards, Pallenberg became a fashion designer. She now divides her time between New York and Europe.
