Danish-born Anna Karina (b. Hanna Karin Blarke Bayer, 1940): model, multilingual icon, femme fatale, actress, writer (including three novels), singer, director.
Vivie sa vie (1962), Le petit soldat (1962), Shéhérazade (1963), De L'amour (1964), Alphaville (1965), and onward.
Married four times. Jean-Luc Goddard was number one. Last I checked, separated from number four.
First thing I noticed while visiting Jim Morrison's grave at Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris quite a little while ago was graffiti declaring "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are following you, Jim." I'd just missed their visit! Australian-born Cave has contributed to Wim Wenders' soundtracks, has written a Southern Gothic novel, and continues to crank out spooky songs. "Tupelo" (1985) is a scary little ditty about the birthplace of Elvis. The man seems kind of maniacal, hellbent for leather.
Brazilian model Fernanda Tavares. Interesting outfit. . . . .

you could warn me too if you're of a mind.
Anna Karina's name sounds familiar to me but I don't know why.
One of the few books I ever read by a musician (other than bios) was "tarantula" by Bob Dylan. Man did it suck.
Ropey
maybe you're thinking of Anna Karanina
