Marianne Jensen Biography
Marianne Jensen is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on May 18, 1935 in Larkollen, Østfold, Norway.
Marianne Christine Stang Ihlen (Norwegian: [mɑɾiˈɑ̀nə ˈìlɛn] ; 18 May 1935 – 28 July 2016) was a Norwegian woman who was the first wife of author Axel Jensen and later the muse and girlfriend of Leonard Cohen for several years in the 1960s. She was the subject of Cohen’s 1967 track “So Long, Marianne”, in which he sang that she “held on to me like I was a crucifix as we went kneeling through the dark”.
She fell in love with Norwegian writer Axel Jensen when they were both teenagers. They married, against her parents’ wishes. The pair left for the Greek island of Hydra in 1958, where Jensen, already a poet and novelist, was going to write. There, they had a son, Axel Jr., and, she said, she became Jensen’s “Greek muse”; she sat at his feet while he wrote and she carried the groceries up from the harbour to their home. Their home was simple with an outside toilet and electricity for only one hour in the evening and one hour in the morning. Otherwise, they used paraffin lamps.

Kari Hesthamar [no] , an award-winning Norwegian journalist, won the 2006 Prix Europa for her 2005 radio documentary about Ihlen. In 2008, Hesthamar published her biography of Ihlen, So Long, Marianne. Ei Kjærleikshistorie; ECW Press published the English translation So Long, Marianne: A Love Story in 2014.
In 2014, in a review of Lana Del Rey’s sophomore album, Ultraviolence, Alexandra Molotkow compared Del Rey’s persona of surrender to Ihlen’s account of her search for independence. Molotkow described Del Rey as an artist, fully in control of her career, who, paradoxically, had chosen a performing persona as a weak and helpless female, who sought to surrender to powerful men. According to Molotkow, who had just read Hesthamar’s recently translated biography of Ihlen, even though Ihlen had the reality of the fantasy Del Rey shows in her videos, of the woman socially and economically reliant on a man, Ihlen has described how she became fully independent. According to Molotkow, Hesthamar’s book is: “… the story of a remarkable woman who was a muse – who has, until now, appeared in history as a man’s idea – and how she found herself. Often, the book reads as a caution against giving up your power.”
