From naïve ingenue at 17 to strung out junkie, the trajectory of Marianne Faithfull’s early career was paralleled over the course of her most famous songs — including her 1964 classic, “As Tears Go By,” written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and the 1969 single, “Sister Morphine,” released toward the end of a drug-fueled relationship with Jagger. After defeating her demons, Faithfull reemerged with the spectacular rock album, Broken English, in 1984, and has since appeared in a multitude of film roles while continuing to perform. Now living in Paris, she was a recipient of France’s Ordre des Artes et des Lettres in 2009.
