She pal-ed around with Liz Taylor during this time as well.
Andy Summers writes in his memoir that she showed up at a Police show and stood offstage watching the whole time. He seems to imply they hooked up afterwards.
I loved how during this period where she was an absolute fixture in all the famous LA clubs, she would go out of her way to spin yarns to the complete opposite. She once gave an interview bemoaning how she "just couldn't" go out clubbing etc with her friends because of the whole double standard thing, that if they went out they would be characterized as, her words, "a group of loose, roaming women". When that's exactly what they were
She's clever, that girl. Pre-bias the fans so if they hear any wild stories they'll be disinclined to believe them. "Not Stevie, she's home at night curled up with her hot water bottle and her poems".
