Rodney Bingenheimer’s English Disco in LA was a hunting ground for rock stars who liked little girls. It was where the so-called “baby groupies” hung out—preteen girlswho were willing to sleep with anyone with a guitar and a record deal. Sable Starr was their queen. She was known as the “big groupie in LA.”Sable, it’s said, didn’t have to go out lo...
Lori Maddox (also spelled Mattix) was only 14 years old when Jimmy Page invited her over to his hotel. He wasn’t the first rock star she’d been with—she was already a baby groupie, famous for losing her virginity to David Bowie—but Page was the first man to call her who was looking for more than just one night. Page told Maddox, who was half his ag...
Page and Maddox’s relationship ultimately fell apart. It wasn’t the age difference; it was that Maddox walked in on him with another woman: Bebe Buell, better known today as Liv Tyler’s mother. Before Buell became pregnant with Steven Tyler’s child, she was one of the most notorious groupies in the US. She got her start when Jimi Hendrixspotted her...
Pamela Des Barres made a name for herself, working her way from Mick Jagger to Keith Moon. She became enough of a legend on the scene that her life ended up inspiring the movie Almost Famous. While they were filming, Kate Hudson even kept a picture of Des Barres in her dressing room for inspiration. She coined the phrase “band-aid,” after telling a...

Cynthia Albritton, better known as “Plaster Caster,” earned her nickname when her art professor told her to make a plaster cast of “something hard” as a homework assignment. Albritton, taking the assignment a bit too literally, took her supplies to a Jimi Hendrix concert and convinced him to let her make a plaster cast of his “something hard.” Albr...
Annette Walter-Lax met Keith Moon at a club filled with rock starsand groupies. She’d been invited out by David Bowie’s manager, and she’d spent the night flirting with Rod Stewart—but it was Keith Moon who took her home. The pair ended up dating, but Moon was a dangerous and often violent drunk, and it wouldn’t take long before she found him dead ...
Cleo Odzer was 14 years old when she started sneaking into New York’s trendiest nightclubs with a fake ID to hook up with rock stars. She went through a lot of them, moving through members of the Rolling Stonesto Cream to Deep Purple. “Every two weeks there was a new band,” she said about it, “and every two weeks I had a new boyfriend.” When she st...
Anita Pallenberg was 21 when she first met the Rolling Stones backstage in a concert. She’d won them over by handing out poppers to the band and made her biggest impression on Brian Jones. Jones was already struggling with an immense feeling that his bandmates hated him, and in a combination of drugs and emotional vulnerability, he saw Pallenberg a...
Cathy Smith was the Band’s groupie. She’d followed them around since she was 16, sleeping with the members so indiscriminately that, when she got pregnant, she had no way of knowing which member was the father. Her baby became known as “The Band’s Baby,” the child whose father could be any member of the group. She first met John Belushi when the Ba...
