Might I ask if anyone knows the ethnicity of Lori Maddox? She looks very exotic.

Nice photos everyone! I also feel sorry for Lori: She was so impossibly in love with Jimmy Page during the time he was heavily into black magic & Aleister Crowley. It must have been a bit creepy... I don't think he ever treated her badly but again who knows? I don't think Lori has wrote her mémoirs, did she?

I dont think he treated her badly at all, I've read that they used to have water fights, egg fights, wrestles, & he even sings to her on the telephone and nearly brought her over to England. Richard Cole suggested it when Jimmy said he missed her like crazy. But Jimmy declined because thats where his semi-wife and daughter are at the time.

Lori said she was at her happiest times with him, and that he was a really sweet guy.

I dunno for sure but it looks like she has some middle eastern origins.

You can also see Lori and Sable in the New York Dolls DVD "all dolled up"

I just started it but I remember that he wrotes at lenght about the groupie scene in L.A. from 1968 to the late 70s. I remember that he talks/wrote about Lori Maddox and other famous groupie like Miss Pamela and probably Sable Starr. When I will reach those passages from the book - and if I find interesting thing, - I will re-copy some of it in this thread.

Yay! Thank you!

She is still living in Los Angeles apparently, and supposedly works in retail (I think she owns her own store). Here's a photo of her from a Zeppelin documentary (from myspace):

I hope she's doing fine these days. I wish her luck! And all the other groupies.

Wow! Thank you for all these infos about Lori Maddox. More photos too!
Dinah, thank you for the details about Jimmy Page & Lori. I might have read something similar in "Hammer of the Gods" (or elsewhere) but I lost this book whis is one of the best ever written about Led Zeppelin. Anyway, I cannot remember much as I read all these books in the 80s, early 90s. With all the drama happenning to the band and the myth about a Led Zeppelin curse (because of Page dabbling in black magic), I though I remember something bad happenning to Lori... Very happy that I was wrong.

TheKiwi, thank you for these recent photos of Lori. You seem to know a lot about her... Great!

Not really - just did a bit of research. There's not too much information out there about her, and what there is, it's hard to know if it was true or fabricated unfortunately.

Welcome! I wanna get that book! I've heard there's a lot more infos in "Hammer of the Gods" about the bands groupies. Lori and Jimmy were very much in love, but whats bad is that when they broke up, she couldn't get over it, her friends say she didn't really recover. I've also heard she had a son, but not Jimmy's.

Rock 'n' Roll love stories are so interesting! I'm actually quite jealous of Lori.

In some ways it would seem a lot more appropriate Uhm, that pic with Jimmy Page and the other guy is soo creepy. The "other guy" looks just like Jeffrey Dahmer...
