Bringing It All Back Home
Sally is best known as the young woman languorously stretched out on the cover of Dylan's 1965 album
Career
In 1971, Grossman provided a voiceover to the documentary film Luxman Baul's Movie, a documentary about two Bengali musicians (Bauls) which was financed by her husband; Sally Grossman was also credited as producer.[9][10][11]
After the death of her husband Albert in 1986, Grossman took over the management of Bearsville Records, the record company he founded in 1970, as well as the two restaurants they had established together.[6] She was also responsible for refurbishing his barn and transforming it into Bearsville Theater, thus realizing a dream of her late husband.[4][6] Grossman recounted that she was compelled to carry out the renovation sooner than she had anticipated due to amendments to the municipal zoning bylaw that would have prevented her from starting a music venue.[6] The theater opened in 1989; she eventually sold it and the other businesses in 2004.[4][6] She was noted for being an "imposing businessperson" while eschewing media publicity.[6] Towards her final years, she worked on a documentary about Albert Grossman.[6]
Personal life
Grossman married Albert Grossman in 1964. They met while he was organizing folk music acts that performed at the establishments where she was waitressing. They moved to Woodstock, New York, and remained married until his death in 1986.[4]
Grossman died on the night of March 10–11, 2021, at her home in the Bearsville area of Woodstock. She was 81; as of March 15, 2024[update] the cause of death had not yet been determined.[4][6]
