Keith Richards Once Sparked A Bizarre On-Set Barbarella Party

June 2024 · 1 minute read

One story involves the cast of the film "Barbarella." True to Keith Richards' reputation, he once sparked an interesting party on the set of the film in 1967. Tom Keylock, chauffer and "fixer" for the Rolling Stones — who was employed as such due to the band's multiple recent run-ins with the law — recalled Richards' visit to the set of "Barbarella." Richards was dating Anita Pallenberg at the time, who was starring in the film alongside Jane Fonda. Richards missed Pallenberg and Keylock grew tired of Richards' sour mood and frequent phone calls to her. He proposed that the two of them go visit the set in Rome.

Upon their arrival, Fonda invited everyone to an afterparty. Keylock told Richards that he would make a "hash cake" for the partygoers. Richards told him that no one was feeling any effects from the cake, but it did not take long for that to change. Lead actor John Philip Law felt the effects for days. "Everyone was in outer space," said Keylock (posted on YouTube).
