Jerry to pen life story?
Jerry Hall has apparently signed a £1 million deal to spill the beans on her marriage to Mick Jagger in her autobiography.

The 51-year-old former model, who was with the Rolling Stone for 23 years, will tell all about her experiences as a young model from Texas and life with Mick in the "rock n roll fast lane", reports the Daily Mail.

Jane Friedman, HarperCollins’ global president said: "Jerry is a force of nature. She is a vibrant, happy woman with a great sense of humour whose life story contains the unexpected and makes for a riveting read."

And the chief executive of HarperCollins UK, Victoria Barnsley, added: "I’ve no doubt her book will be highly entertaining and illuminating both about her own remarkable life and the extraordinary world she’s lived in."

Jerry’s marriage to Mick broke down in the late 1990s and she filed for divorce in 1999.

Biography

The Texan model and actress is as famous for her advice on keeping a man as she is for her professional career.

Married to the rock icon, Mick Jagger for a formidable number of years, Hall admitted that the secret to her successful relationship was this snippet of advice passed down to her by her mother, “You must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom.”

Born in Texas, Halls formative years were a far cry from her celebrity status of today. Growing up in small, Texan town, with an alcoholic truck-driving father, she left home at 16 to pursue a modelling career in Paris.

With her 6ft tall frame and waist long blonde hair, it didn’t take Hall long to make her mark on the international fashion circuit and by 1975 she was the face of Yves Saint Laurent Opium perfume and Revlon cosmetics, as well as bagging herself a rock star fiancé, in the guise of Rosy Music’s Bryan Ferry.

When she hit 20, Hall met the iconic rocker Jagger, with whom she was to spend over two decades of her life and parent four children. The Jagger/Hall relationship offered much fodder for press speculation, with rumoured affairs and tempestuous shenanigans, and following the 1999 revelation that another woman was pregnant with Jaggers child, the marriage came to an end.

Alongside her modelling career, Hall has made quite a name for herself in the world of film and theatre, making her first silver screen appearance in Urban Cowboy in 1980 with John Travolta. The height of her celluloid career came with an appearance in the Batman movie in 1989 – however, her theatre performances have provoked more acclaim, specifically with her 2000 appearance in the production of The Graduate, which included a nude scene.
