Christine Margaret Shrimpton (born 15 July 1945) is an English former 1960s model and actress.

Personal life[]

Shrimpton is model Jean Shrimpton's younger sister and was the girlfriend of the Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger from 1963 to 1966.[1] According to the Stones biographer Stephen Davis, their 1966 album Aftermath was a source of embarrassment for Shrimpton, since "people generally identified her with the [album's] scathing put-downs", and that it led to an argument she and Jagger had while attending a party hosted by Guinness heir Tara Browne in April 1966.[2]

In popular culture[]

In the BBC Four biographical film We'll Take Manhattan (2012), about her sister Jean and photographer David Bailey's affair in New York City, Shrimpton is played by Clemmie Dugdale.[3] It's thought that the Small Faces song "Talk to You" is about her.[4]
