Inside the Wild Nights with Brian Jones, 1967

Behind the Photo #7

The story of these photos begins when I was heading to Hollywood to star in the John Houston film, A Walk with Love and Death. I was supposed to do it with my fiancé, Romina Power, but it didn’t work out in the end.

However, on the way to Hollywood, I had to stopover in London to collect money owed to me. My dear friend Brian Jones said, "If you're coming to London, why don't you stay with me? You can stay at my place, use my car and driver, and we can hang out together until you leave."

Brian was very persuasive; he even convinced me to go to Cannes with him, another reason why I didn’t go to Hollywood in time for the film, but that’s another story.
