The music star was also an electrifying screen presence, from The Girl on a Motorcycle to Marie AntoinetteMarianne Faithfull, singular icon of British pop, dies aged 78Marianne Faithfull was a towering artist, not just the muse she was painted asOn the screen and also in life, Marianne Faithfull experienced something similar to her contemporary Anita Pallenberg – the condescension of being treated like an icon or a muse. Maybe her very real success in music ruled her out of a serious acting career in the eyes of some, but Faithfull for a while occupied the epicentre of the late-60s pop culture zeitgeist, for an intense flashbulb moment she found herself in the overlapping worlds of music, movies and the explodingly important world of celebrity itself.The famous photograph of her in 1967 on a couch between Alain Delon and Mick Jagger absolutely captures her magnetism: Delon is entranced by her, Jagger (her boyfriend) is jealous, looking grumpily down: she and Delon were starring toge...

The late singer made her share of bad decisions – but someone this artistically adventurous and unafraid was never going to have an ordinary life• News: Marianne Faithfull, singular icon of British pop, dies aged 78It is difficult to think of a moment in pop history less receptive to a 1960s icon relaunching their career than in 1979. At that point, British rock and pop resolutely inhabited a world shaped by punk: it was the year of 2-Tone and Tubeway Army’s Are ‘Friends’ Electric?, of Ian Dury at No 1 and Blondie releasing the bestselling album of the year. And it was a central tenet of punk that the 1960s and their attendant “culture freaks” were, as Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren put it: “fucking disgusting vampiric the most narcissistic generation there has ever been,” and that the decade’s famous names should no longer be afforded the kind of awed reverence they had enjoyed for most of the 70s. “No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones,” as the Clash had sung.And yet Marian...

Hour after hour of washing, trimming and blow-drying unwilling pups is not my idea of fun – or my dog’s Lots of people like the idea of grooming dogs for a living. Some survey sought to identify the most popular jobs to which British workers would like to switch in the coming 12 months, and dog grooming came out top. I can see – or at least used to see – the attraction. Pooch parlours are the most delightful shop windows on any high street. There the dogs stand, big and small, being shorn, snipped, styled and blow-dried for all to see. It’s a charming sight, to be sure. How nice it must be to be the human working in that environment.But I strongly suspect that these dreams people are harbouring of getting into dog grooming wouldn’t long survive contact with reality. Take a closer look in the window of your local canine coiffurist. What is that look in those dogs’ eyes? In some, to be fair, I see pure enjoyment as they luxuriate in all the attention, from their stylists as well as pa...
