anita pallenberg: it could be that i ride a bicycle everywhere around london. everyone is so polite here. i would be terrified to do it in new york. how did you get the name baby jane?
baby jane holzer: there was this columnist called carol bjorkman who wrote for women's wear daily, and she coined the phrase after the movie, which nobody had seen. when i saw the movie i thought oh my god, what have they done to me? it was the most frightening thing. the name stuck, which is a drag.
jane: when did he die?
anita: 1969. would you call yourself a survivor?
jane: definitely. we're both survivors.
anita: but the word 'survivor' makes us sound like we're been to boot camp, as if we were barely getting by. do you see it like that?
jane: yes and no. no and yes.
anita: are you married now?
jane: no, i work too hard. i don't have the time. men of our generation need a lot of attention, unlike the younger ones. the younger ones are very good about giving.
anita: yeah, its true. i went to see a psychic in london, who told me i should look for a tibetan or an indian.
jane: i don't think so. darling, you're rock n' roll aristocracy.
