Jamie Lee Curtis Remembers Marianne Faithfull
Jamie Lee Curtis honored Marianne Faithfull following the announcement of her passing at the age of 78.
Tributes from the Entertainment World
On Thursday, (January 30), representatives for the cult singer and actor confirmed that she “peacefully died in London, accompanied by her loving family. She will be deeply missed.” Since the news broke, tributes have poured in from across the entertainment industry. Mick Jagger shared a heartfelt message for his former partner, while Metallica hailed her as “fearless”, and Morrissey remarked that she “brought us closer”. Sir Paul McCartney also expressed his condolences, calling her a “true” and “beautiful and sweet” artist.
Now Curtis has shared her memories of the late artist. Posting on Instagram on Friday (January 31), Curtis shared a photo of Faithfull with Sinéad O’Connor, who also passed away in 2023.
“This is the second time I am posting this picture,” Curtis explained. “The first was on the day that Sinéad died. I never printed it because Marianne’s eyes were closed, but when Sinéad passed, I found a contact sheet and quickly made the print. I can’t access my photo files right now because of the fires, and I just heard that Marianne had died today.
“She was a great friend of my friend John Bormann, and she was an incredible artist and woman. This is a significant loss,” she continued. “When I can access my photo files, I will find her best photo. We attended a music festival in Dublin to see Eminem, and that memory is now a cherished one.”
