Marianne Faithfull looks like a different person

Nose is more beaky. A waif's body turned into a whale's.

Still morbidly depressed but happy to dwell on her years of fame.

Which person?

Is she more obese than Jane Birkin?

She looks great for 74.

She looks like a prison matron, circa 1965.

She had a bout with COVID related pneumonia last spring. It’s good to see that she recovered and appears to be doing well.

She's a Bishop for the Church of England now.

She avoided the anus mouth of Paul McCartney. I’d love to hear that voice giving a talk.

[quote] I’d love to hear that voice giving a talk.

But she shouldn't sing. She sings as badly at Lotte Lenya and Rex Harrison.

Elderly people should retire gracefully.

True, R9, but I see books behind her that are not stacked nor arranged by color. The talk I’m fantasizing about is one where I can smoke and drink while listening.

She looks like a cunty school head mistress as played by Caroline Quentin

She was (and maybe still is) a heavy smoker and a heroin (and later coke) addict. She was even homeless for awhile in the 70s I think it was. Kind of amazing she’s still alive. She’s gotten huuge though.

I love the rumor that during a drug raid she was found with a Mars Bar in her vagina. And Mick Jagger was eating it. Fun times!

She actually captioned this photo "She walks in beauty, like the night..." etc, etc.

Quite the ego!

I saw her in that awful Tony Richardson movie where she played Ophelia to an ugly man playing Hamlet and Anthony Hopkins as Hamlets handsome father-in-law.

And she preferred taking drugs instead of starring opposite Mick Jagger in Tony Richardson's "Ned Kelly".

That’s Brian Blessed

I sit and watch as tears go by.

R14 ‘She Walks in Beauty’ is the title of a new album she has coming out.

She looks like Fran Lebowitz's lesbian sister.

Pretentious ex-junkie

She looks like Quinn Cummings + blond hair, 25 years, and 50-75 pounds.

From "Girl On A Motorcycle" work Alain Delon...swoon..

It appears the English was broken by her fat ass.

I was trying to think of the actress she looks like (to me) in OPs pic, she looks like an older Gemma Whelan.

I’m telling you, she looks like Quinn Cummings, just 25 years from now, with significant weight gain and a blonde dye job. This case is closed.

How old is her son? Think she only had one child with her ex-husband.

I can imagine the abortions Jagger forced her to have. He then went on to have a multitude of kids with various women.

She has had so many scrapes with death. My God this woman is a survivor and a fighter.

I love her interpretations of Kurt Weil songs.

At least she's off the drugs.

She a survivor...like her ex lover/friend Keith Richards. Been through a lot of heavy druggy days.

Marianne Buffet-full

What the hell was that r22? Through a windshield at the end, gruesome.

She and Anita Pallenberg were very fashion forward in the 60s and spearheaded the “boho chic” look. Here’s Marianne sporting a mullet in 1968.

Marianne in 1966 sporting a decadent “jeunesse dorée” look.

Her nose got bigger and her lips thinner, which happens with age. Her eyes look the same, still slightly droopy. I don't think she looks that different, she looks like the same woman as in this picture, only 60 years older, which she is.

We've all had one or two "Lucy Jordan" days...

Anita Pallenberge was stunning. I never did think Marianne was beautiful. Keith and Anita were the ultimate rock & roll couple, imo. Mick and Marianne were boring. Mick cheats, Marianne overdoses , blah. Keith and Anita had knock down drag out fights, which were hilarious 😂. Anita could beat the hell out of Keith and regularly did.

One of Marianne Faithfull's more recent and great songs.

Anita Pallenberg was also bisexual. I think it was in Faithfull’s biography where I read how Anita would fuck bored Italian housewives during the time she worked there as a model.

I love her. She was in a movie no one saw but me called Irina Hand. She’s very brave and I admire her.

Irina Palm.

I saw Irina Palm, loved it. I saw her in concert in LA maybe 15 years ago, it was a great show.

“Here’s Marianne sporting a mullet in 1968.”

It was called a shag. Probably originated in UK. In the US, Judy Carne popularized it in on Laugh In. Then Jane Fonda wore one in the Klute, causing a huge fad. Women by the millions got their hair chopped in shags and they realized they weren’t Marianne Faithfull, Judy Carne or Jane Fonda when the looked in the mirror, horrified, after getting one. Marianne is wearing hers partially behind her ear, which was one way of wearing it. There were short shags & long shags. Farrah Fawcett’s hair was originally a long shag & they curled it. Then they modified it into the classic Farrah blow-out.

Her son is a successful finance journalist named Nick Dunbar. His Twitter feed is dull as dust. He is clearly brilliant.

I don't think Jagger forced her to have any abortions - though she did miscarry their child, Carina, at six months, sending her into a deep depression.

I think she looks the same facially. She's just a little wider now.

R33, how old are you if I may ask?

Her voice is certainly unique and it doesn't always please.

But generally her work is interesting. Her interpretation of Penthouse Serenade is my favorite which is saying a lot because all the greats recorded it

You can always tell when the Elder Gays are whacking off their nubs to the sounds and sights of their youths. There is nothing special about Marianne Faithfull. Her later work is interesting, I guess. Cabaret type stuff. She imagines herself to be a cutting edge performer. Nope. But she found a way to make her sound work. And she had 3 very good albums. My dad like them.

But her whole vibe is angry about not being young and pretty and still mad about not being able to be high on ANY kind of good drug. That's cool. Let's don't make her more. She was no more than average pretty and had zero talent when she was young. That as Tears Go (buy my song) was anemic and pathetic. I wasn't born until 1983 but have some exposure to her Kurt Weill work and Broken English. Good Album. The one she did after is even better.

She is famously an ASSHOLE. Always getting offended and walking out of interviews. That would be different if Marianne were some great wit or intellect. She is NOT. Dumb, burned out and quite an ugly human being. She's still high or white knuckling it - don't kid yourselves.

She recorded some anti music music before that was popular, but she didn't have a choice. She never could sing and then sounded worse. And now even worse i imagine. That's not art. It's delusion and persistence.

If I don't have to watch her be a jerk or hear all the stories from my friends who have been made her victims during interviews, I sometimes like the sound of her voice. She was punk in a good way. But she would deny and argue that she was every punk. She thinks she is much greater and more important in every way than she is or was. She's like Courtney Love's evil step-mother.

Faithful was never a beauty and is still not a singer. She had a lot of shit go through her veins and she has a gift for giving it back.

Yeah, when you’re not even really a songwriter, how big can you allow your ego to be? Like, how does she justify it?

I'm harsh. I know. But MF is hard to love. This is not bad. And she tells you so.

OP needs LOTS of lessons about getting older, drugs or not. It's happens, kid OP.

I like the photos where she tries to smile a lot better, especially since she's gotten older. Something about which R51 knows much.

She's worth $15 million dollars. She travels the world so that sexagenerians and quinquagenarians can pay big money to watch her wail and glamourise the drug addiction lifestyle.

I saw her in London on the Strand in concert mid 90s while on one of my first gayling dates with a hot Jordanian The entire fucking evening was magic...and very gay. MF was lovely, charming and outrageous.

R48 seek help you miserable cow.

All of you have missed the fact that she looks like a fatter version of Glenn Close.

Help, For what R54? Magic and very gay. An evening. London on the Strand. Haha.

Old fags are so predictable on this site. There is no cure for what ails you. Marianne Faithful is a fraud. Who else but old gays would pay for her sound and attitude? Her albums, maybe. Lots of good artists aren't good singers. Marianne Faithful is neither.

Love her work. Big cajones

Marianne Faithfull's album covering songs by Noel Coward isn't half bad IMHO.

R58 here....

Sorry, not MF's album, just her cover of Noel Coward's "Mad About the Boy".

Carry on....

Of course she looks different from pictures 55 years ago. She doesn’t look even slightly different if you have seen her in the last 30 years. You get old or you die: just pick one:

File it under fun from the past!

R53, did you get that she's worth $15 million dollars info from Google's net worth search? They also say homeless Judy Garland as worth $60 million at death. That'll be news to the IRS.

The tops of her hands are bruised badly in this photo. Due to needles, of some kind?

Mama Cass proved you can be obese and still be a heroin addict. Ditto Belushi and there was another one... with three names but all of them escape now...

* Phillip Seymour Hoffman - that's it!

I got the impression from reading the bio that she wrote that she has never gotten over Mick jagger. She spoke as if she was still deeply in love him, although deeply hurt. Maybe I'm wrong. She also spoke of her addiction and recovery but stated that she still drinks alcohol, which I find odd. Some recovering addicts can drink moderately, but most avoid any addictive substances. Mick Jagger is a mysogistic cunt. If I had to fuck one of them, give me Keith Richards anyday of the week over Mick Jagger.

I read we bio years ago. It was frank , dishy and dark. I didn’t get from the bio that she was really that in love with Mick at all. She makes him out to be a decent guy.,who helped her out when she fell on hard times.

Why should Jagger be expected to save a hundred year old woman junkie anyways? I know nothing of their history. But she's made a career of it. Lifelong junkies carry a lot of grievance. Marianne Faithfull is no different. Why do OLD gays identify with some woman who was NOT likely done wrong? She's an ASS. Faithfull should speak well of Jagger. She would be unknown and likely dead without him.

Why don’t you calm the fuck down^^^

I'm calm. With a clear head. I see how "great" her talent is. She's lucky to not be dead in a trash bin. Lots of famous musicians do drugs. Only a few are complete degenerates by choice. MF is one of that kind.

[quote] I got the impression from reading the bio that she wrote that she has never gotten over Mick jagger. She spoke as if she was still deeply in love him, although deeply hurt. Maybe I'm wrong

You are.

She’s not deeply in love with him & she speaks well of him and emphatically doesn’t blame him for her problems.

R71- Your impression from her bio and mine may differ but neither of us knows the women and so you have no idea how the hell she really feels. I stated that I could be wrong and unless you are MF so could you .

R56 Fuck off back to your Whitney and Dion videos, you old black cunt

Always found it curious how her singing voice dropped an octave from the 60s to the 70s.

She was and is a very heavy smoker and that changes your voice.There was British movie called Painted Lady it was made by the BBC . A murder mystery whose main character was based on MF. Not really pertinent to the thread. It was fun if any of you are interested.

Fat people should always stand up for photographs. Sitting down just spreads the fat.
