Anita Pallenberg Doc: Scarlett Johansson Narrates Vacation With the Rolling Stones


Watch a clip from the documentary 'Catching Fire' about Anita Pallenberg's vacation With Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Marianne Faithfull.

In addition to Pallenberg keeping it secret that she was pregnant with Keith’s and her first child, Marlon Richards — born in August 1969 — the trip is notable in Rolling Stones lore as the origin of Richards and Jagger’s nickname “The Glimmer Twins.” When some of the other vacationers — who were dressed to the nines in leftover fashion from the 1930s — grew curious about them, they eventually asked the quartet who they were. Catching Fire, which filmmakers Alexis Bloom and Svetlana Zill directed, uses Pallenberg’s own words, read by Johansson, throughout its 110-minute runtime. Bloom and Zill worked with Marlon Richards to tell his mother’s story in all its nuances, using 8mm home movie footage.
