  • Trivia
    In July 1979 Scott Cantrell committed suicide in Keith Richards' New York apartment while supposedly playing Russian Roulette. Pallenberg was in the same room as Cantrell during the incident, while her ten-year-old son Marlon was watching television with a family friend downstairs. Pallenberg claimed to not have witnessed the incident and that she took Cantrell in about a year earlier since he had no other place to stay. She was charged with having handguns without a permit and possessing a stolen gun.
  • Quotes
    [on whether she regretted meeting The Rolling Stones] Fate, I respect a lot. I never regret anything.
