Miss Pamela´s "Confessions of A Groupie" memoirs to be shared on HBO!

The lovely ZOOEY DESCHANEL will be the legendary PAMELA DES BARRES if the pilot is a Yes! 

(I´m soooo HAPPY they chose Zooey!. Gotta love the girl!)


"Zooey Deschanel to be a Groupie on HBO"

From Collider.com. 3 February 2010, 9:36 AM, PST

Taking on a role that’s sure to give her plenty of risque material to work with, Zooey Deschanel has signed on to star in an HBO pilot based on groupie extraordinaire Pamela Des Barres’ book I’m With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie, according to Deadline.

Des Barres’ adventures on the rock ‘n’ roll road included - according to her, at least - sexual exploits with Mick Jagger, Keith Moon, Jimmy Page and Gram Parsons, and the oddest of all, even Don Johnson, too.

When I first heard this news, I mistakenly thought she had already played a groupie in Almost Famous, but Deschanel was, of course, instead Anita Miller, brother to our hero, William.

No time frame has been given yet for production of the I’m With the Band pilot and series, but something this fun will surely be put together fast, and when you join it with Martin Scorsese and Michael Mann directing pilots for, respectively, Boardwalk Empire and Luck, it would certainly appear that HBO has a very strong lineup in the works.

Who else feels already anxious about this project?

It was about fu**ing time!

Miss Pamela,

"Take My Hand. Take My Whole Life, too.

I´m ready to Rock N´Roll with you!"

Miss Pamela

Pamela Des Barres  (born Pamela Ann Miller on September 9, 1948 in Reseda, California) is a former rock and roll groupie, author, and magazine writer. Des Barres was born in Kentucky. During elementary school, her father moved the family to southern California. Her mother was a housewife and her father worked for Anheuser-Busch and occasionally worked as a gold miner. She idolized The Beatles and Elvis Presley as a child, and fantasized about meeting and dating her favorite Beatle, Paul McCartney.Later, upon discovering the Rolling Stones, she daydreamed of Mick Jagger, while growing up in Los Angeles in the early 1960s.

A high school acquaintance introduced Des Barres to Don Van Vliet, better known as Captain Beefheart, a musician and friend of Frank Zappa. Van Vliet in turn introduced her to Charlie Watts and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones, which drew her to the rock music scene on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. She started to spend her time with The Byrds and other bands, and when she graduated from high school in 1966, she took various jobs that would allow her to live near the Sunset Strip and pursue relationships with rock musicians. One high school art class assignment was to visualize an object that showed both texture and color. Having fantisized about Mick Jagger's male genitalia, it was the subject of her painting, which earned her an "A" grade for the assignment. After securing a position as the babysitter for Zappa, she at last found herself a few years later finally finding multiple opportunities to compare the drawing with the real object. She famously paired up as a friend Jim Morrison, and future sexual targets Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Nick St. Nicholas, Noel Redding, Chris Hillman, Gram Parsons, and actors Brandon de Wilde, Michael Richards and Don Johnson. She was also a member of The GTOs, an all-girl singing group formed by Zappa. In the 1970s Des Barres decided to pursue a career as an actress, and acted in a few movies, including Zappa's 200 Motels, commercials, and a year acting on the soap opera Search for Tomorrow in 1974. 

Nowadays, Des Barres currently writes articles for online and print publications and teaches in Los Angeles.

Des Barres wrote two memoirs about her experience as a groupie, I'm with the Band (1987) and Take Another Little Piece of My Heart: A Groupie Grows Up (1993), as well as two other non-fiction books, Rock Bottom: Dark Moments in Music Babylon and Let's Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies (Chicago Review Press, 2007). I'm with the Band was re-released as a "updated edition" in 2005.
