You Should Know: Pamela Des Barres

It doesn't get more legendary than having been the rock groupie to have influenced Kate Hudson’s character Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe’s "Almost Famous." Though considering Pamela Des Barre's bestseller “I’m With The Band” documents her backstage flings with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Paige, Keith Moon and more -  it makes more than perfect sense. A onetime nanny to Frank Zappa’s kids, Pamela has written numerous books and even launched a clothing line called, what else, Groupie Couture. Now a rockstar in her own right, these days, “I’m with Pamela" is only the backstage pass you'll need.
