Marianne Faithfull is watching an old interview, in which Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham is asked about “discovering” her. “Is it literally possible that you can go to a party and pick up someone with no evident talent and make a star of her?” Oldham chortles. “Er, yes.”
“Maybe it was good for me,” Faithfull says of her reaction upon first seeing that interview. “Because maybe I thought… ‘I’ll show you, you c***.’”
