Penny Lane is a great character but Pamela Des Barres is the real deal



Almost Famous is one of my favourite films ever. Not just because it's an amazing story and filmed beautifully, but also because the clothes are AWESOME! I've looked everywhere for a coat like hers:(
Kate Hudson's character is based on Pamela Des Barres. Her book I'm With The Band makes me wish I was a groupie in the 70s. She hung out with all the best rockers: Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon and Frank Zappa to name a few. To me she is pretty damn cool.
