Jerry Faye Hall (born July 2, 1956 in Gonzales, Texas) is an American supermodel and actress known for being Mick Jagger's long-time companion and common law
wife.
Early life
Hall's autobiography, entitled Jerry Hall's Tall Tales, was
published in 1985. In this book, she describes her early life in Mesquite, Texas, where
she graduated from North Mesquite High School. She also relates her
experiences as a young model living in Paris.
Celebrity marriage
In 1990, Hall was "married" to Mick Jagger in an unofficial Balinese ceremony. Hall began a secret affair with Jagger while still engaged to Bryan Ferry. Her common law
marriage to Jagger ended in 1999. They have four children together: Elizabeth, James,
Georgia, and Gabriel.
Entertainment career
In 1989, she appeared in director Tim Burton's Batman, in a supporting role as Alicia Grissom, a gangster's moll who is disfigured by the

The Graduate, including a nude scene on stage. In 2002 she appeared in Brighton in
the play Picasso’s Women.
In 2005, Hall starred in a new reality series on VH1
called Kept, revolving around her search for a "boy
toy". The 12 American contestants were asked to transform from boys to refined gentlemen through a series of challenges,
and mastering skills like arts, sports, cooking, and fitting into high society. According to an interview with the
winner, he never saw Jerry again and there was no sexual intimacy between Jerry and the kept men, unlike typical kept men
relationships.
Also in 2005, she appeared on the West End stage playing Mother Lord in the
London revival of Cole Porter's High
Society, and provided the voice for Sister Penelope in the controversial British cartoon Popetown.
