PARIS — Marianne Faithfull is in higher spirits than you might think. “On the whole, I’ve been pretty happy for years,” Faithfull muses over a glass of Coke Zero at the trendy Hôtel Costes in Paris.
The singer and actress, who embodied the Swinging Sixties and performed for decades afterward, exuded an effortless cool.
Faithfull was a pop star, part of British rock royalty. The lows began with her use of narcotics and ended with time spent as a homeless junkie.
