Join us as we profile the dramatic life of a complex artist who inspired classic songs by the Rolling Stones, reinvented herself as a cutting-edge singer-songwriter, and now at 77, faces potential retirement from the lingering effects of COVID-19. Through archival footage and interviews, we'll transport you back to Faithfull's meteoric launch as a folk-pop ingenue with hits like "As Tears Go By." We'll delve into her role as muse and confidante to Mick Jagger and the Stones circle when she struggled to be regarded as more than a prized possession.
The video will also candidly explore Faithfull's harrowing descent into addiction and homelessness throughout the 1970s that nearly destroyed her. From squats in Soho to disastrous comeback attempts, her shocking fall from grace revealed the precarious darkness lurking behind her image. Most astonishing is how Faithfull defiantly rose from the ashes, reinventing herself as a punk-influenced singer with a raw, whiskey-soaked voice on her 1979 masterpiece Broken English.
Through the following decades, Faithfull continually took bold creative risks, from jazz reinventions to cutting-edge collaborations. Her battle with cancer and frank discussions of aging display grit and humor. Now as the ravages of Covid may end her recording career, this indefatigable survivor contemplates her legacy. Marianne Faithfull's extraordinary journey from angelic muse to avant-garde icon defines what it means to endure. Learn her inspiring story only in this video.
