Legend has it that her nun’s habit was backless and she was naked underneath. I believe it.
A rich girl, she had a rough life, struggles with addiction. A few years after this show, in 1979, she blasted back into the scene with her masterpiece, Broken English. She eventually got clean and sober and had a career for many years. I feel she never got all the recognition she deserved.
Here she is in 1966, singing her first hit, written by Mick and Keith, “As Tears Go By.”
Farewell, Marianne.
