Deep in preparation for her debut stage role, model Jerry Hall has boyfriend Mick Jagger in her corner as drama coach. Hall has been cast as Cherie in a Montclair, N.J., production of William Inge’s “Bus Stop”--the role Marilyn Monroe made famous in the 1956 film version--and Jagger’s running lines for her. Hall said she will have no problem playing a dimwit. “I have years of experience acting dumb,” she said. “In business when men act patronizing, you just smile and act dumb and charming and you get away with a lot,” she said. “But beneath this peroxide-blond hair lies a smart brunette.”
