Keith Richard's ex denies affair with Mick Jagger

Out now on DVD is Mick Jagger's controversial 1970 movie Performance. The film, in which Jagger portrays a reclusive rock star named Turner who takes in a London mobster on the lam from his crime boss after a murder, is a distinctive period piece of the late '60s counter-culture. Keith Richards' then-girlfriend Anita Pallenberg co-starred in the film as one of Jagger's lovers.

Over the years many assumed that Pallenberg and Jagger had an offscreen romance as well, but when recently asked by London's The Independent if the pair's on-screen romance ever moved into real life, Pallenberg revealed that, "No, it never did. I was a one-man girl at the time and Keith was the man for me. I loved him. And anyway, Jagger was the last guy I would have done that with... The movie signaled the end of the hippie era and the end of innocence."

Prior to her ten-year relationship with Richards, Pallenberg was romantically linked with the Rolling Stones' late co-founder Brian Jones. She and Richards eventually had three children, including a son Tara who died of SIDS in 1976. The couple split in 1978.
