Jane Schindelheim
His wife, Jane Schindelheim, deserves mention for her role in the founding of Rolling Stone. From this article in The Atlantic [1]: Some of the most important early work was done not by Wenner, a New Yorker by birth who’d been sent to boarding school in Los Angeles, but by his wife, Jane. Also a New Yorker, she grew up in Stuyvesant Town. She attended the High School of Music & Art in Harlem, where “she wore black turtlenecks, smoked skinny joints, and drew moody portraits in charcoal and pencil evoking her inner torpor.” Jane’s parents put up much of the magazine’s seed money, and Jane’s taste was key in shaping Rolling Stone. And it was Jane who, with her cool affect, won the trust of rockers, photographers, and writers who would prove crucial to its takeoff. Hagan’s book is as much the story of a stormy marriage as the story of a magazine.
- I agree she was a significant person to the origin of Rolling Stone magazine, but don't you think that article is where the information properly belongs? She is in this article as his first wife, and there is mention of her family money contributing to Wenner's successes. That seems adequate as she relates to the subject of this wikipedia page.
