‘I met Bob, went out with Mick and married Denny’ … looking back on 60s teenage wild child Catherine James

Why CJ – who apparently was no saint – rings them bells for an old friend of mine…

A well-known journalist friend of mine has been toying with a name since the letters JC unexpectedly entered Bob’s life again.

A young lady called Catherine James was a well-known teenage gal-about-town in the 1960s. And in her autobiography Dandelion – the cover is pictured above – she tells many stories about hooking up with famous people including old Bob.

She was once married to Denny Laine and dated Mick Jagger.

Catherine had been born into a wealthy Hollywood family. Her memoir says that she finally ran away from home at twelve and went to live with college students. And around this time she says she met Dylan.

The woman, often pointed out as a wild child in stories about her, says that Dylan kept in touch with her and actually gave her his address in Woodstock.

One day she ran away from an orphanage where she had been sent and hitch-hiked to New York. She went looking for Bob.

There is nothing to indicate that this is the woman who made the claims against Bob and we use this story as a matter of information and to throw light on internet rumours.

  1. It doesn’t seem like she was all that adversely affected by whatever happened between her and Dylan, if she’s the right person. She happily went on her way bedding rock stars. This smells of a money grab, pick the biggest name with a huge bank account as she needs things in her dwindling years.

      1. Catherine James is a few years older than the person in the complaint, if that age is accurate. And, in addition, her experience with Dylan looked to be nurturing and fun. Hard to believe she would change that…also, she lives in LA, not CT…

      2. I’m not too sure that a woman really exists. After all these two pimps and thieves could have easily fabricated the story. Keep in mind, there’s an element of people in amerika who would sell their old ladies ass to make a buck, and who would steal from their mother. That’s reality in the 21rst century in trumpland!!!

    If this cannot be printed word for word, then DON’T print it at all. Thank you.

  3. Catherine James was born May 31,1950, which makes her 15 years old in 1965, obviously not 12 years old.
