Jagger Unhealthy at Health Panel
Bianca Jagger wasn't a picture of health for her appearance as guest speaker at a conference on women's health in Hartford.
The ex-wife of Rolling Stones rocker Mick Jagger arrived bundled up, with her neck wrapped in a bright orange scarf. She told the crowd Thursday at the Hartford Artists Collective she had walking pneumonia.
Still, she lent her voice to a subject she's been promoting for years - global human rights.Jagger, who will turn 55 next month, delivered the keynote address on Women and Children in the Third World at the conference.
"You can't save all the children," she said. "But if you can save one, God bless."
