       NEW YORK (AP) -- Marianne Faithfull, the British pop star,   
       muse, libertine and old soul who inspired and helped write some   
       of the Rolling Stones' greatest songs and endured as a torch   
       singer and survivor of the lifestyle she once embodied, has   
       died. She was 78.   
      
       Faithfull passed away Thursday in London, her music promotion   
       company Republic Media said.   
      
       "It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the   
       singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull," a company   
       spokesperson said in a statement. "Marianne passed away peacefully   
       in London today, in the company of her loving family. She will   
       be dearly missed."   
      
       The blonde, voluptuous Faithfull was a celebrity before turning   
       17, homeless by her mid-20s and an inspiration to peers and   
       younger artists by her early 30s, when her raw, explicit "Broken   
       English" album brought her the kinds of reviews the Stones had   
       received. Over the following decades, her admirers would include   
       Beck, Billy Corgan, Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, although her   
       history would always be closely tied to the Stones and to the   
       years she dated Mick Jagger.   
      
       One of the first songs written by Jagger and Keith Richards,   
       the melancholy "As Tears Go By," was her breakthrough hit when   
       released in 1964 and the start of her close and tormented   
       relationship with the band.   
      
       She and Jagger began seeing each other in 1966 and became one   
       of the most glamorous and notorious couples of "Swinging London,"   
       with Faithfull once declaring that if LSD "wasn't meant to   
       happen, it wouldn't have been invented." Their rejection of   
       conventional values was defined by a widely publicized 1967   
       drug bust that left Jagger and Richards briefly in jail and   
       Faithfull identified in tabloids as "Naked Girl At Stones   
       Party," a label she would find humiliating and inescapable.   
      
       "One of the hazards of reforming your evil ways is that some   
       people won't let go of their mind's eye of you as a wild thing,"   
       she wrote in "Memories, Dreams and Reflections," a 2007 memoir.
