Rok wydania: 2005 During the summer of 2004, when Marsha Hunt decided to risk her life for Jimi Hendrix, he'd been dead for 34 years. Dead since she had her last hit single, was Mick Jagger's secret lover and had his daughter Karis. Back then she was known as the star of Hair and was Britain's symbol of Black is Beautiful, although, like Jimi, she'd come to Britain in '66 from the US. The connections between the two of them led Hunt to feel that she had a duty to explain not only Jimi's life and his relevance to rock but also his relevance to America's ongoing race war. It became her life's work, her reason for being, and after working on the book for four years, she refused to let a lump in her breast stop her from finishing it. After five months, the lump, which had been no bigger than a pebble, was the size of an egg. It had also begun to hurt. When a surgeon confirmed that she had cancer, Hunt decided to treat her battle with the disease like a dangerous adventure. She knew that a sense of humour would be essential but jettisoned fear, as she knew it would only get in the way. Hunt was 58 years old, had done a lot of living and, as she says, her breasts had served her well. They had been exposed in Vogue by Patrick Lichfield and made enough public appearances for an early retirement to seem fair enough. During the course of her treatment, she made decisions that some might find surprising - no reconstruction and no prosthesis. She was prepared for the loss of her hair through chemotherapy but wasn't prepared for the general presumption that her sexuality would be diminished by the loss of her breast. Back in the '60s, had her liberated attitude to nudity contributed to the current notion that a woman's sexuality depends upon her breasts? Hunt decided to change that misconception by sharing her experience. "Undefeated" is an uplifting account of an iconic figure's battle with a disease that affects so many lives. Challenging and humorous, the twists and turns in this unexpected journey include a photo session with Patrick Lichfield and a hair-cutting party in Hollywood with Jagger.
