She was arrested when the Rolling Stones were busted and she and Mick Jagger were jailed. All the police had found was a couple of pills in Jaggers pocket but at that time they thought that the Stones would bring down society and wanted them busted. It was William Rees Mogg - Jacob's Dad - who got them out. Marianne Faithfull's career was over, she ended up homeless for a year before making a comeback. The Stones were on stage the following day. It's amazing, and a testament to who she was, that she got past that awful time. She ended up playing God in Absolutely Fabulous, a role which I think sat really well on her.
That's a fascinating and also sad read there.
Thank you for it Livia.

I actually liked the change in her voice on her like comeback period with the song Lucy Jordan.
I've two albums of her from the late 70s and early 80s, which one of my family had.
Broken English and Dangerous Acquaintances.
Really good albums.

Marianne also did a rather reasonable recording of my all time favourite song, DOWNTOWN.
Your post above, just reinforces my own opinion that Marianne was someone special to the world of show business over her lifetime.
Bless her.
