What Happened To Bob Marley's Ex-Girlfriend Esther Anderson?

Esther Anderson's name has become so closely linked to that of Bob Marley — with whom she had a relationship for only about two years — due to the guiding hand she had in his career and the intimate insights she offers into the reggae icon's formative years through her recollections and her art. Their relationship and the development of Marley's art was later revealed in the 2011 documentary "Bob Marley: The Making of a Legend," which featured original footage Anderson had shot during the early years of the Wailers (per Alt A Review).

One aspect of Anderson's life that has stayed in demand over the decades is her photography, particularly the pictures she took of Marley in those early days. In 2016, Anderson's long career as a photographer came to the fore thanks to the opening of a new London exhibition of her works: "Bob Marley: A Rebel Prophet." Regarding her pictures, Anderson said at the time (via Fad Magazine): "My work is not pandering to those who know Bob Marley as a music icon. My photographs reveal Marley beyond the bounds of a musician, as the messenger who could reach out to a global audience, a poet of past and future."
