The fashion and style icon and actress Jerry Hall celebrates 68 today
Jerry Hall was born on July 2, 1956, in Gonzales, Texas. She grew up in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite with her parents and four sisters. From an early age, Hall showed a keen interest in the arts, which later paved the way for her illustrious career in modeling and acting.
Hall’s entry into the entertainment industry began when she was discovered by a fashion agent while sunbathing on a beach in Saint Tropez. At just 16, she moved to Paris, where her striking looks quickly made her a favorite among top fashion designers and photographers. Hall’s modeling career took off in the 1970s, and she became one of the most recognizable faces in fashion, gracing the covers of magazines like Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Elle.
Jerry Hall’s notable modeling work includes campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Revlon, and Chanel. Her statuesque figure and distinctive features made her a sought-after model throughout the 1970s and 1980s. She also appears on the iconic cover of the Roxy Music’s 1975 album “Siren” and in music videos, most famously for Bryan Ferry’s “Let’s Stick Together” (1976), which showcased her captivating screen presence.
Hall transitioned into acting in the 1980s and 1990s, appearing in films such as “Urban Cowboy” (1980) and Tim Burton’s “Batman” (1989), where she played Alicia Hunt and also found success on stage, starring in productions like “The Graduate” in London’s West End, where she played the iconic role of Mrs. Robinson.
In the 2000s she appeared on reality TV shows and made guest appearances on various television programs and in 2010 she published her autobiography, “Jerry Hall: My Life in Pictures,” offering fans an intimate look at her journey from Texas to international stardom.
In recent years though she has largely shifted her focus from modeling and acting to other endeavors but she still occasionally appears in fashion campaigns and on television, maintaining her status as a style icon.
Jerry Hall’s personal life has often been in the spotlight, particularly her high-profile relationships. She had a well-publicized relationship with Bryan Ferry before meeting Mick Jagger, lead singer of The Rolling Stones. Hall and Jagger were together for over two decades and had four children: Elizabeth, James, Georgia May, and Gabriel. The couple’s relationship ended in 1999.
In 2016, Hall married media mogul Rupert Murdoch in a private ceremony in London. The marriage brought together two influential figures from the worlds of entertainment and media but ended in divorce in 2022. Hall balances her personal life with her continued involvement in various charitable activities and social causes.
