Marianne Faithfull was an accomplished actress, singer and songwriter who burst onto the scene at the height of what is often called the Swinging 60s.
In the early years of her fame she was closely associated with the Rolling Stones and had a top 10 hit with As Tears Go By, which was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
A relationship with the future Sir Mick ensured she was never out of the headlines especially when a famous drugs bust led to a court case.
But she overcame battles with heroin, and a period of homelessness, to forge her own musical career in the 70s and 80s, as well as a successful acting and writing career.
