Tammy Faye Starlite Paying Homage to Marianne Faithfull

By editorial board on December 23, 2023

Tammy Faye Starlite she’s one of 25 performers who participated in a compilation album that came out earlier this month, “The Faithful: A Tribute to Marianne Faithfull”

Starlite is taking her appreciation above and beyond these other artists, by doing a one-woman show in which she portrays Faithfull, according to Variety.

Starlite does the new piece, titled “She’s a Rainbow: Marianne Faithfull Sings the Songs She Inspired — A Cabaret Fantasia,” tonight (Dec. 22) at Pangea in New York City.

Like her previous production of the show, it sold out weeks in advance. But even if you aren’t able to come up with a ticket for her theatrical take on Faithfull this time around (and surely it will be back), it’s worth hearing why Starlite thinks this particular heroine is such a vital figure in the history of rock.

This show — the second one Starlite has built around Faithfull — does have some degree of focus on the idea of the singer as a muse, as it includes some songs that were allegedly or definitely written for or about her, the Rolling Stones’ “She’s a Rainbow”.


                                                                     

Marianne Faithfull moved into care home after struggle with long Covid. After battling Covid-19 for three weeks in hospital, Faithfull went on to finish her 21st solo album – and possibly her last.

Now it’s been revealed she’s living at Denville Hall, north west London, which is a retirement home for professional actors and other theatrical professions and has been home to several other stars over the years, including Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs and filmmaker Lord Richard Attenborough and his actress wife Sheila Sim. Metro.co.uk reports today

A spokesman for the As Tears Go By hitmaker confirmed: ‘Marianne is staying at Denville Hall while she recovers from the ongoing effects of Covid.’

 

‘But what I do believe in, which gives me hope, I do believe in miracles. You know, the doctor, this really nice National Health doctor, she came to see me and she told me that she didn’t think my lungs would ever recover.

‘And where I finally ended up is: ok, maybe they won’t, but maybe, by a miracle, they will. I don’t know why I believe in miracles. I just do.

‘They were going to make a biopic of my life and if they had been able to do it, I would have made a lot of money. And I really need it.’
