Short Biography

Jerry Faye Hall (born July 2, 1956) is an American model and actress, also known for her long-term relationship with Mick Jagger, with whom she had four children.

Hall was born in Dallas, Texas, the daughter of Marjorie (née Sheffield) and John P. Hall, a truck-driver. She allegedly had a part-Cherokee Indian grandmother. Hall was raised in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, Texas, where she graduated from North Mesquite High School. She has a twin sister, Terry, and three older sisters. Following a car accident, she used the insurance money she received and moved to France.

Hall was staying at a hostel on the French Riviera when she was discovered sunbathing on a Saint Tropez beach by a fashion agent, Claude Haddad. She moved to Paris where she shared an apartment with singer Grace Jones (who at that time was also a model) and immersed herself in the Parisian nightlife, often performing risqué cabaret acts in clubs and parties with Jones. Soon after, she moved in with fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez and her modelling career began. In 1975 she appeared, in the guise of a mermaid, on the cover of Roxy Music`s album Siren. Five months later, lead singer Bryan Ferry gave her an engagement ring. Her relationship with Ferry continued and she also appeared in the video for his 1976 solo hit "Let`s Stick Together". By 1977, Hall had been on forty magazine covers including Italian Vogue and Cosmopolitan. She was earning modelling fees in excess of $1000 per day. Her trademark long blonde hair and height of six feet quickly made her one of the most visible and photographed models in the industry during that period. That same year, she met Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger at a dinner party in Manhattan, for whom she would eventually leave Bryan Ferry. Hall and Jagger were seen together constantly around New York, frequenting trendy nightspots such as Studio 54 and 21 Club. The Rolling Stones song "Miss You" was written by Jagger for Hall (many years later, Hall was also the subject of the Bryan Ferry song "Kiss and Tell" following the publishing of her 1985 autobiographical exposé Tall Tales that included details of their relationship). Jagger`s wife, Bianca Jagger, began divorce proceedings as a result of her husband`s involvement with Hall. With the large fees she commanded daily as a top model, Hall was able to buy herself a two-hundred-acre ranch in Lone Oak, Texas. On 2 March 1984 in New York City, she gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth Scarlett, the first of the four children she would have with Jagger. She continued her high-profile modelling career and later moved into acting and television work.

On 21 November 1990, Hall was "married" to Mick Jagger in an unofficial Balinese ceremony consisting largely of Hindu ritual. Her common law marriage to Jagger ended in 1999. They have four children together: Elizabeth, James, Georgia, and Gabriel.

In 1989, Hall appeared in director Tim Burton`s Batman, in a supporting role as Alicia Hunt, a gangster`s moll who is disfigured by The Joker (played by Jack Nicholson). In 1990, she joined many other guests for Roger Waters` massive performance of The Wall in Berlin. She also starred in commercials for Bovril. In 1994 she played the role of Miss Scarlett in the British television show Cluedo. In the early 2000s, she appeared as Mrs. Robinson in a Broadway production of The Graduate, which included a nude scene on stage. In 2001, she appeared as herself in the documentary
