20 Groupies That Majorly Impacted The History Of Rock ‘N’ Roll

15. Pamela Des Barres

When Pamela was a teenager she idolized big stars like Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, and Elvis. It seems fitting that she grew up to become a groupie to some of the biggest rock stars of her generation. Through connections she made with friends, Des Barres began getting closer to well-known musicians and she even found herself babysitting Frank Zappa’s kids. Des Barres made herself a big name in the Rock and Roll scene and ended up linked to musicians such as Keith Moon, Jim Morrison, and Jimmy Page. Additionally, Des Barres inspired a character played by Kate Hudson in the movie Almost Famous.

16. Pamela Anderson

The star of Baywatch had a very notable love of rockstars. Anderson was first married to Tommy Lee from Motley Crue in the late 1990s and they had two children. The couple eventually divorced and Anderson moved on to other Rock and Roll stars. She married Kid Rock in the mid-2000s but the marriage ended only a year later. She was also linked to the singer Bret Michaels. Since her partying days, Anderson has calmed down and is now an animal rights activist.

17. Pleather

In contrast to every other groupie on our list, this one happens to be male. While male groupies do not get quite as much attention as their female counterparts, they do exist. Pleather was a mysterious groupie that found himself hanging around some notable stars. He was particularly interested in Courtney Love and the female band The Bangles. While no one was quite sure what his goal was, Pleather was well known as a groupie for over ten years.

18. Audrey Hamilton

Unlike most of the groupies to make our list, Audrey Hamilton has kept a low profile and tries to stay out of the spotlight. Hamilton spent much of her time with Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin but the relationship ended in the late 70s after Plant’s son passed away. After that split, Hamilton went on to date Ace Frehley who is a guitarist for Kiss and the two even have a child together.
