Jerry Hall escaped from small-town Texas and was discovered on a St Tropez beach at the age of 16. Within a year she had appeared on the covers of magazines all over the world. A whirlwind life as a top model jetting from Paris to New York to London and all over the world was followed by a four-year affair with Bryan Ferry and then by 20 years married to Mick Jagger, travelling with the Rolling Stones and appearing on stage and screen. Over the years she has been photographed by all the greats and has consistently presented an impeccably glamorous image. She has also managed to maintain a private life without too much intrusion. Curated by Jerry herself, this book is a celebration of her life so far - a fabulous collection of photographs from her earliest modelling days to the present time, including her appearances on rock album covers, TV, film and stage. Works by Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Andy Warhol, David Bailey, Norman Parkinson, Helmut Newton, Karl Lagerfeld, Rankin - and many others - are featured alongside shots of her glamorous life and intimate snapshots of friends and family, Mick Jagger and their children. Interwoven through it all is Jerry's candid narrative, charting the highs and lows of her extraordinary life. Jerry Hall: My Life in Pictures documents the truth behind the image of one the world's most enduring and photographed stars.

I really enjoyed this book. It's filled with wonderful photos, both personal and professional, and some endearing as well as some very gossipy memories. Did you know Mick would get jealous by how much Jerry adored Charlie Watts? I learned that in here, plus other interesting tidbits. The book does have some major errors, both typographical and factual. Jerry says Hal Ashby directed Mick's solo film RUNNING OUT OF LUCK and that Julien Temple directed the Stones concert film LET'S SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER, when it was the other way around. So some errors like that were irksome, but over all I really enjoyed this book

A great coffee table book full of stunning photographs of one of the worlds top models of the last century. While there are plenty of pictures which are brilliant, both colour and timeless black and white stills. there is also lots of reading. A biography of Jerry's life, containing lots of interesting facts from her life. From the early days, leaving her home to travel to France to chase the dream of becoming a model, her life with Mick Jagger, the wedding, the children and her divorce. The book details her work with many top designers and photographers and was very interesting to read about her work with some of the industry's most popular and well respected members.
This book is a great coffee table book, but is also a must for all Jerry Hall fans.

I like photographic/biographic books like this and enjoyed reading it, and also admiring the great pictures. I always say you can't judge a book by its cover and as she reveals details of her rocky childhood, the rags to riches story unfolds in a dignified manner.
