Sable Starr

Who is Sable Starr?

Sable Starr was a noted American groupie, often described as "queen of the groupie scene" in Los Angeles during the early 1970s. She admitted during an interview published in the June 1973 edition of Star Magazine that she was closely acquainted with Robert Plant, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, and Marc Bolan. She also had love affairs with Iggy Pop, Richard Hell, and Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls.

Iggy Pop wrote a song "Look Away" about Sable and her romance with Thunders as well as his own affair with her. It appears on his 1996 album Naughty Little Doggie.
