At 19, she posed for the cover of a Roxy Music album, Siren, and became engaged to the band’s lead singer, Bryan Ferry – an engagement that ended when Mick talent-spotted her for himself.
Jerry says she’s been reflecting on those years in recent months, putting together a coffee table book, My Life In Pictures, in place of the ‘explosive’ autobiography about her life with Mick that she couldn’t quite bring herself to write.
‘I fell in love with Mick and I stayed with him because I was in love for a very long time,’ she says. ‘I thought we’d always be together. I thought he would grow up. But now I think that’s the nature of rock ’n’ roll musicians. There is a youthful adolescence.
‘Working on the book has given me the opportunity to look back and reflect. There are lots of photos in it of Mick, me and the children. When you’ve been divorced, it’s important for the children to know there were lots of good times and that they were born out of love. It’s been important to remind myself of it, too. We’re lucky that we manage to have a friendly relationship now.
Curated by Jerry herself, this book is a celebration of her life so far - a fabulous collection of photographs from her earliest modelling days to the present time, including her appearances on rock album covers, TV, film and stage. Works by Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Andy Warhol, David Bailey, Norman Parkinson, Helmut Newton, Karl Lagerfeld, Rankin - and many others - are featured alongside shots of her glamorous life and intimate snapshots of friends and family, Mick Jagger and their children. Interwoven through it all is Jerry's candid narrative, charting the highs and lows of her extraordinary life. Jerry Hall: My Life in Pictures documents the truth behind the image of one the world's most enduring and photographed stars.
