Jenny was just 15 when Mick Fleetwood, then a 16-year-old musician in the band The Cheynes, spotted her. ‘He saw me walking to school and, although we’d never spoken, he said he was sure I was the person he would end up marrying.’
When they did first meet, he was dating her friend. So although she was attracted to the softly spoken drummer, she dated his mate Roger Waters (pre-Pink Floyd fame) instead. It was Roger who got Jenny into modelling after she left school at 16. He was decorating the new Carnaby Street showroom for fashion designers Foale and Tuffin and suggested she apply to be their house model.
When her relationship with Roger ended, she and Mick Fleetwood reconnected. They hung out with Pattie and George at exclusive clubs such as The Scotch of St James, ‘exciting places filled with pop stars, fashion designers, old aristocracy, models, everyone that was part of this young, hip Swinging London scene’.
It was Jenny who would break off their relationship, pretending she had a new man. Mick was distraught and held a candle for Jenny for years.
