I doubt Robert has seen the film since the premiere and I think we all know his general opinion of recounting and reliving his Zep history. He avoids it like a plague.
Plus there’s that scene with his late son. Wouldn’t be good.

Ms. Pearce -
Having learned of this thread, I felt strongly compelled to join this site and offer a few words of gratitude and advice.
First, as others have noted, for serious, long-time Zep fans, it is astonishing to finally learn the identity of that beautiful girl and the reason for her magical and enigmatic smile. After decades of conjecture, to have the truth revealed by the lady herself- 50 years later!- is simply astounding. Thank you!
Second, there is a reasonable chance that you may eventually be contacted by representatives of RP, and then by the man himself. He almost undoubtedly will learn about your existence being revealed and, really, how could he possibly resist finally speaking with the famous "smiling hoodie girl"? In fact, he is currently touring with Alison Krauss and will be ending the tour at the Beacon Theater exactly 2 weeks from today. How amazing would it be if you attended that show- wearing the same hoodie and holding that tambourine? You might finally get to meet him backstage! Of course, such a meeting/conversation, like all other details about you, would be 100% your own personal business, but to learn of Robert finally speaking to you after half a century would put a thrilling and appropriate cap to this amazing revelation.
Finally, please realize that your mementoes of the evening of Sunday, July 29, 1973, are a piece of history- and they do have some financial value. Sorry to bring up this base aspect of things, but you should know that. At some point, it may be a good idea for you to write out all your memories of that evening, of your exchange with RP, and of his giving you the tambourine, and have the statement witnessed and notarized. Even if you never intend to part with these items, perhaps someday your children or grandchildren will want/need to sell them. If you were to put on ebay a lot comprised of the hoodie, the tambourine, the pre-concert photo of you, and the statement verifying their authenticity, I suspect you would realize a tidy sum- perhaps 4 figures, perhaps 5 figures, who knows? The market for such things can be hard to judge. I see that a few days ago, a Mickey Mantle baseball card brought $12 million - and while that one card was a "best example", there are dozens of such cards in existence. Now I'm not suggesting that what you have is worth millions- it admittedly probably has a much narrower field of prospective buyers- but it is a one-of-a-kind collection. I don't say this out of self-interest- I am not a serious Zep collector - but there are others on this board who are (such as SteveAJones) who could maybe PM you with better information about value. In any event, if you have any inkling to sell, I strongly recommend that you put them up for auction somehow and not just accept someone's offer, no matter how tempting. At a minimum: if you do choose to keep possession of these items, they should be insured for a significant amount.
Thank you again for coming forward and sharing your tale. You've brought a smile of wonder and relief to many, many Zep fans. Best wishes to you going forward.

There’s always the chance this would not ring a bell with RP, that he wouldn’t recall the specific shot in the movie of Ana. He would have to be shown again. Probably watched it once back in the day and exclaimed ‘Ok, is what it is. Next….’ From everything I read the movie was never that popular with the band. But who knows

Other fun facts on TSRTS: While all concert footage shot at MSG, most if not all backstage footage not shot in NY but at the Baltimore Civic Center a few days prior. The opening airport sequence when they first landed and police escort was Pittsburgh

I am Ana's ex-boyfriend, Arthur Shattuck. I would only add a couple of things to Ana's story:
1. We had seen Led Zeppelin once before at MSG on September 3, 1971.
2. JP gave the tambourine to one of the crew and asked him to throw it to Ana. As Ana said, a guy jumped in front of us and the three of us held on to it for dear life. It was until one of the security guys came over and that the guy finally let go and the compromise was to give the guy a couple of the little cymbals from the tambourine.
3. After we broke up around 1975, I lost touch with Ana. The first time I saw TSRTS was when I bought the VHS tape probably around 1977. Because the VHS was not widescreen, only Ana was shown in the VHS version. I tried to contact Ana to let her know that she was in the movie but we didn't meet up again until around 1993 and by then TSRTS had been shown on TV and she knew about her appearance.
4. I did not find out I was in the film until it came out on the DVD wide screen version.
5. I was and will always remain a die-hard Led Zeppelin fan. I never miss a chance to see Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience/ Evening whenever he comes to town. I highly recommend seeing him!
Fascinating.
Now we must track down the two dudes that got ‘In through the Back Door’.
Come forward Perps! 🤣

I have been spending my life telling people the girl in "Since I've Been Loving You" was not Robert's wife Maureen. Their eyes and nose are different for one thing. Maureen clearly has Indian features while the girl (Ana) is both younger and looks more Puerto Rican/Caribbean/South American.
More importantly, the Led Zeppelin wives were not touring with the band at this time. They were back home with the kids.
I missed the memo. But used to think that. Been awhile since I saw the entire thing

New to this forum, but did the two teenagers that were let in back stage ever come forward?

I haven’t read all the posts here in this thread, so maybe this was already brought up, but I was always thought the girl in that shot (Ana) was Robert Plant’s wife whom is also shown in the movie earlier in those family sequences. Striking resemblance

True. I didn’t feel like circling back on this to see how it started. Oh well, we all carry on
