She was the muse of Roxy Music on the album that marked the baptism of the glam rock in 1972. She appeared alongside David Niven in the original version of the Casino Royale the James Bond. She is the sister-in-law of Mick Jagger himself. He had five children and 14 grandchildren in the British Isles. She has been in the UK since she was ten months old and aged 74 threaten to deport her for continuing to use her Norwegian passport and not having regularized their situation as “settled” after Brexit.
The curious case of Kari-Ann Moller has come to light thanks to a brief letter, written by her husband Chris Jagger to the director of The Timessarcastically asking if the cover of the famous album serves as proof of her prolonged stay in the British Isles: “I have downloaded the photo of the cover of the album that Roxy Music debuted with, in which she appears on the cover. I wonder whether this is admissible as evidence”.
Chris Jagger remembers how his wife was a famous model in the seventies, and that’s why she was chosen as a lure by Bryan Ferry and his henchmen when hardly anyone knew them. The six members of the band appeared on the cover of Roxy Music framed in so many other stars, but the palmetto in the foreground was taken by Kari-Ann, stretching her long legs on the grounddressed as a pin-up girl and wrapped in a suggestive sheet with borders.
Kari-Ann Moller also appeared in 1974 on the cover of an album by Mott the Hoople, the group that popularized the song. All the Young Dudes Written expressly for them by David Bowie. It could also have served as proof of his contribution to the British cultural heritage, but Chris Jagger has not considered it necessary at the moment.
The point is that Mick’s brother took responsibility for regularize the situation of his wife when she was detained last March at Bristol airport, after returning from a holiday in Madeira.
