Terence's brother Chris co-managed The Who.

Jesus, that's a sexy picture, even though Terry looks completely strung-out. Sexy Beast.

and Jeannie's sister (also named 'Chris') dated Mick Jagger. He dumped her for Marianne Faithfull.

Jeannie's also mentioned in the lyrics of the Smithereens' classic "Behind The Wall Of Sleep,":

She had hair like Jeannie Shrimpton back in 1965
She had legs the never ended
I wuz halfway paralyzed.
She wuz tall and cool and pretty and
She dressed as black as coal
If she'd ask me to I'd murder
I would gladly lose my soul

Now i lie in bed and think of her
sometimes i even weep
then I dream of her
behind the wall of sleep

thank you sir. but I'm a piker compared to some. But get a hold of that Smithereens tune, the lyrics are great for the Swinging London references, and it's got a nice crunchy Kinks style guitar riff.

Whoa, he looks like Brandon Davis in that shot. And The Shrimp is gorgeous, as usual. She was a knockout, and had such incredible hair. Whenever I see Terence Stamp now I can't help but be reminded of a comment that dobbs made in metatalk, about a threesome involving Naomi Watts and Terence Stamp. It's a good one.

Haha! I forgot about that comment. How could I forget about that comment? Aaaah, dobbs.

I highly recommend the exhibition catalogue that matteo linked from the chris beetles gallery :) The printing is gorgeous and the portraits are some of his most famous.

btw, wikipedia has all the trivia covered.
