JERRY HALL TO STUDY STONES FOR ARTS DEGREE
Wednesday 29 August 2001 3:18pm
Jerry Hall will be studying the work of her ex-husband, Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, as part of her university arts degree.
The Texan model and actress is taking a four-year course with the Open University, including modules on modern art and music.
Jerry was speaking at the launch of BT's sponsorship of Tate Online, at the Tate Modern Gallery, London.
Jerry, 45, says: "It's something I've always wanted to do, it's just for me. The children are in school and the youngest has started nursery school and when you are doing that you've got all day and it's great fun.
"I will be studying Andy Warhol and I think we will also be learning about the Rolling Stones, which is something I think I've got a good head start at."
She says: "I love hanging out with artists, going to their studios and seeing work in progress - I'm an art groupie."
She says she was good friends with Salvador Dali: "I went to Paris when I was 16 years old and I became friends with Salvador Dali. We were friends for about three years, I went to dinner with him and his wife Carla and hung out with him quite a lot.
"It was fabulous, he was great but as I was 16 and from Texas I didn't realise how famous he was."
Jerry, who bared all when she starred as Mrs Robinson in the West End production of The Graduate, says she turned down a role in one of Dali's films because it involved nudity.
Jerry says: "He asked me to appear in his film he wanted to do in Spain. He wanted me to run through his garden, where all the statues were, with a piece of white chiffon in the nude. But at that point I said I didn't do nude, which was really silly of me, I should have done it."
