Jerry Hall (born July 2, 1956) is a Texas-born model and actress best known for being Mick Jagger's long-time companion or wife (in the 1990s, the two were married in Bali but the legal validity of the marriage has since been questioned). Jerry began a secret affair with Jagger while still engaged to fiance Bryan Ferry. As a result, Ferry wrote many songs, such as "Kiss and Tell," and "Cry, Cry, Cry". Some believe that Ferry's album The Bride Stripped Bare was documentation of his feelings about the breakup with Hall.
She has written her autobiography, entitled Jerry Hall's Tall Tales, published in 1985. In this book, she describes her early life in Mesquite, Texas. She also relates her experiences as a young model, living a fabulous life in Paris.
In 1990 she joined many other guests for Roger Waters' massive performance of The Wall in Berlin.
Her marriage to Jagger was annulled in 1999. They have 4 children together: Elizabeth, James, Georgia, and Gabriel.
Hall was one of the nine judges for the 1999 Whitbread Awards and sided with the majority in the contentious 5-4 decision to award the "Book of the Year" prize to Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf over J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. [1]
In the early 2000s she was noted for her theatrical performance as Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate, including a nude scene on stage (which horrified Hall's mother).
In 2005, Jerry Hall starred in a new reality series on VH1 called Kept, revolving around her search for a boytoy. These 12 Americans must transform from boys to refined gentlemen through a series of challenges, and mastering basic skills. A 34 year-old contestant named Seth won the coveted place of Hall's Kept man.
