It was after seeing Jerry Hall in one of Parkinson’s photographs that Bryan Ferry asked her to pose (as a mermaid) for the cover of Roxy Music’s fifth album, Siren. After her marriage to Mick Jagger, she and Jagger became close friends with Parkinson and his wife, Wenda, visiting them for holidays in the Caribbean with their children.
On April 21 it will be the centenary of Norman Parkinson’s birth and the BBC Arena has a new documentary film about his life and work.
Here, the film’s director, Nicola Roberts, talks to Jerry Hall about her memories of “Parks”.
