As a teenager she led the ultimate rock 'n' roll lifestyle married to a Rolling Stone.
But these days Mandy Smith's musical involvement extends only to carrying her son's cello on the school run.
And her bespectacled new look makes her look more secretary than rock chick.
It is 20 years since Miss Smith's infamous marriage to Bill Wyman, when she was 18 and he was 52.
Red-haired roadie: Mandy Smith carries her son's cello on the school run. She first hit the headlines for her relationship with Rolling Stone Bill Wyman
She has settled in Manchester following the collapse of her second marriage to model Ian Mosby in 2002.
Now red-haired, she bears little resemblance to the blonde who wed Wyman in a glamorous ceremony attended by Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall and Keith Richards in June 1989.
The pair had been dating since she was just 13 after they met at the Rock and Pop Awards in London.
She initially attempted to cash in on her fame by launching a pop career, although after seven failed singles she then moved into modelling.
Rock's royal wedding: Mandy married Bill Wyman in 1982 when she was just 18 and he was 52
That too failed to take off after she developed a mystery wasting illness during her marriage to Wyman which saw her weight plummet to just five and a half stone.
A year after her divorce from the Stones bassist, she married footballer Pat Van Den Hauwe, ten years her senior. The couple split after two years before finally divorcing in 1997 with Miss Smith claiming she felt suicidal.
She then moved to her mother Patsy's home in North London before meeting Mosby, a Vanity Fair model, in 2000 in a London bar.
Take two: In 1993 Mandy wed footballer Pat Van Den Hauwe when she was nineteen years old
The pair were engaged six months later and shortly afterwards she gave birth to their son Max. The relationship ended a year later.
She has since attempted a career as a make-up artist and is training to be a counsellor.
In the past Miss Smith has often blamed her turbulent love life on her marriage to Wyman.
'All my life I've been with manipulative, controlling men,' she once said.
'I believed I was never good enough, never worthy of a loving relationship.'
