Watched the Anita Pallenberg doc, Catching Fire, last night. Love that woman! She was my role model (her and Julie Christie) from when I saw her in Barbarella as a kid. I never managed to grow the horn in the middle of my forehead but Black Tyrant it was with full Fenella Fielding voice.

"Hello, my pretty, pretty. Want to play with me?" I'd purr this a lot and scare the lads. Still happens in my adulthood (fast maturing) without me saying the words, just channeling the energy. What larks!

We had proper role models back then. Anita and Marianne were too good for those boys.

This is an essay by a close friend, who was born about three years before you, and who passed away last year. I still miss him a lot. He was friends with Anita and Maryanne in the mid-60s. I’m not sure, but his short essay may be of interest to you.
