Anita Pallenberg: The Bizarre Beauty of Barbarella


Anita Pallenberg starred in the cult sci-fi film Barbarella (1967) as "The Black Queen", opposite sixties sex symbol Jane Fonda.  She was perhaps at her most enchantingly beautiful, and on her way to being a notable film star (Performance was filmed the following year, but her acting career pretty much ended after that, to Keith's delight).  Hope you enjoy these scans!  All photos = my scans.

  2. Never having been much a fan of Jane Fonda OR... Science Fiction, I always just glossed over this film? Obviously after seeing Anita ( now I have to run out and rent it! ) Hell, might even BUY it? Hubba-hubba.

    To be clear, I never really objected to Ms. Fonda's politics per se, more the fact that her celebrity was inherited. Had Keith's son started a band I likely would need to see a great deal of conviction, I mean other than to cash in on famous relations? Just funny that way.

  7. Jane Fonda won TWO Academy Awards for best Actress. So what if she's the daughter of Henry Fonda?
