Marianne Faithfull (born 29th December 1946) is an English singer-songwriter and actress whose career spans more than four decades.

Faithfull was born in Hampstead, London, to a military officer father, Major Glynn Faithfull, and the Baroness Eva Erisso, a Viennese noblewoman of half Jewish and half noble Austrian descent, coming from the Habsburg dynasty. Faithfull attended a Roman Catholic girls school.

Faithfull began her singing career in 1964 after being discovered at a launch party for The Rolling Stones by pop music producer Andrew Loog Oldham. Her first hit, “PlayAs Tears Go By”, was written by Mick Jagger[1] and Keith Richards. She then released a series of successful singles, including “PlayThis Little Bird”, “PlaySummer Nights”, and “PlaySister Morphine” (which she co-wrote with Jagger).

Faithfull married artist John Dunbar in 1965, and in that same year gave birth to a son named Nicholas. The marriage was short-lived however, and Faithfull began a much publicised relationship with Mick Jagger. The relationship with Jagger lasted throughout the late 1960s. After they split up in 1970, Faithfull briefly stopped recording and nursed a drug addiction. She moved to Dublin in the middle of the 1970s, and had quite a success with “Dreaming My Dreams”, which reached the top of the Irish pop charts.
