In this case, the Wikipedia entry is worth seeking out. There's a topless painting of Nesbit from when she was 17 (or was it 15?), proving that her mother's concerns about her daughter's career were well-founded.

Upvoted for the going on.

The whole Layla album, really. "Have you ever loved a woman and she belonged to your very best friend?"
