Marianne Faithfull (born 29th December 1946) is an English singer-songwriter and actress whose career spans more than four decades. With a recording career that spans over four decades, Faithfull has continually reinvented her musical persona; experimenting in vastly different musical genres and collaborating with such varied artists as David Bowie, The Chieftans, Tom Waits, Lenny Kaye, and Pink Floyd. Faithfull also sang with Metallica providing backing vocals on “The Memory Remains” from their 1997 album Reload, and appeared in the song’s surrealistic video. Faithfull also made a modestly successful foray into an acting career and has given notable performances in the 1967 film I’ll Never Forget What’s ‘Is Name alongside Orson Welles, as a leather-clad motorcyclist in the 1968 French film Girl on a Motorcycle opposite Alain Delon, and in the 1969 Kenneth Anger cult film Lucifer Rising. In 1969, Faithfull played Ophelia in the Nicol Williamson adaptation of Hamlet. In 1993 she played the role of Pirate Jenny in The Threepenny Opera at the Gate Theatre in Dublin. Later she performed The Seven Deadly Sins with the Vienna Radio Symphony. She has made brief guest star appearances in the British sitcom Absolutely Fabulous (as God), in Patrice Chéreau’s Intimacy (2001 film), and plays Empress Maria-Teresa in Sofia Coppola’s biopic Marie-Antoinette, starring Kirsten Dunst in the title role. She`s one of my most favourite singers...
