    She dated Dennis Hopper.
    She claimed her editor shot down a proposal to do a fashion shoot cover story on the then-unknown Beatles (who went on to blow up mere months later).
    She got pregnant by artist with Abdul Mati Klarwein and flaunted that she had no intention of marrying him.
    She said: 'A few [friends] asked, ‘When are we going to the wedding? I was six months pregnant at the time. I just said What wedding?'

    She was ahead of her time about single motherhood.
    'Birth' sold over half a million copies in its first month.

    She set out on a six-month journey around the world with her boyfriend, which began in Portland, Oregon and carried them all the way to Milinaire’s native country, France.
