Marianne Faithfull

English musician and actress Marianne Faithfull was born December 29th, 1946 in Hampstead, London, England.
Faithfulls early work in pop and rock music during the 60's was overshadowed by her struggle with drug abuse in the 1970s. During the first two thirds of that decade, and with little notice, she produced only two studio albums. After a long commercial absence, she returned late in 1979 with the landmark album, Broken English. Faithfull's subsequent solo work, often critically acclaimed, has at times been overshadowed by her personal history.
In the late 1960's she had a high profile relationship with Rolling Stones' lead singer, Mick Jagger. She co-wrote "Sister Morphine" which is featured on their Sticky Fingers album.
