A new doc will look at the legacy of model and actress Anita Pallenberg. In a clip from Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg, Pallenberg — voiced by Scarlett Johansson reading from Pallenberg’s unpublished memoirs — recalls a 1968 boating vacation she took with her then boyfriend, Keith Richards, as well as Mick Jagger and his girlfriend at the time, Marianne Faithfull. Footage from the trip, a voyage from Lisbon to Rio, has never previously been released.

“We were never peace and love kind of people,” Johansson as Pallenberg says in the clip. “But we wanted to reassure each other that everything was OK, so we decided to take a trip together: Mick, Marianne, Keith, and I.
Crossing the Atlantic on a freighter, we must seem pretty eccentric to the people on the ship. We had great outfits for strolling down the decks. Beautiful Marianne was always dressed top to toe with long gloves, a hat — she was like a Tennessee Williams character. And I was pregnant.”
Though they never married, Pallenberg and Richards were in a relationship for around 12 years and had three children together. Pallenberg sang backing vocals on the classic Rolling Stones hit ‘Sympathy For The Devil’ and has been acknowledged as a significant influence on the band.
