Annick Honoré / Ian CurtisBottom of Page Has anyone ever seen a picture of her? I heard about her doing an interview in a Belgian (I think) magazine but I couldn't find it online or in my part of the world. I've the Shadowplayers dvd, she's one of the people interviewed there. I'll make a screencap.
Mari, thanks for making that screencap. She isn't what I expected. I guess I expected a Siouxie Sioux look-alike since that is how she has always been described. But I forget that she's probably a 50 year old woman now!
Did she show any culpablility for being involved with Ian now? How has she changed?
What does Factory Benelux mean? Is she still involved with it all?
No she has not worked for Crepuscule Records (Factory Benelux) since 1985 and in one magazine interview she mentions all the good qualities about Ian and yes she is still emotional about him. My friend and I thought she came across as pretty attractive in the video for her age.
I have to say there is somethig interesting about her looks.
I meant!
Factory Benelux was the other office of the English Factory Records - they represented Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg and distributed the records to that area and the people working in Belgium (Annik and Michel, etc) were the people to book the bands in those areas and give the bands a chance to get outside of the UK. They started that office because the UK record company did not have enough staff to keep all the records going - i.e. Alan Erasmus, etc. could not work fast enough.
I can't believe the amount of people who keep saying things like why did Ian go for such ugly looking women (i.e Deborah and Annik) - does it take a rocket scientist to figure out that Ian was an intellectual who needed a like-minded woman? And that he was attracted to interesting, intellectual girls and could look beyond looks? It amazes me how small-minded people can be.
That said, it seems that according to what I hear, when he wanted a peice of nice ass on the side he would certainly go for it and he did like women, lol.....
How on earth are/were Deborah and Annik ugly? I don't get it.
Annick looks a little worn. I've never seen pictures of her in her younger years. Deborah Curtis isn't ugly, in my opinion, but she isn't drop dead gorgeous either. I think she has aged well though.
There is a picture of Annik in the "Torn Apart" book by Lindsay Reade that came out this year from May of 1980. IMO she looks better now than she did then as a 22 year old. She pretty much talked very openly and alot in that book about Ian, the music and things-- I enjoyed reading about romantic moments with Ian and picturing what it would be like to hold his hand and kiss him, etc. It was other Joy Division fans saying things like "ugly" about them - not my opinion!
quelques commentaires sur l'affaire...Sans laquelle,peut-être, il n'y aurait pas eu ce film.
Pb technique:je coince pour passer la photo? Comment on fait ?

. Destin ? Oui. Un homme qui sans le savoir a bouleversé le rock. Sans le vouloir , peut-être, s'est foutu en l'air, épuisé avant d'avoir même vécu!
