Meg White(I)
- Actress
- Music Department
- Composer
She is not the older sister of The White Stripes band mate Jack White, as we were originally led to believe. Rather, Megan Martha White, born in Detroit on December 10, 1974, is Jack Gillis White's former wife and current drummer. Meg's drumming style is unique in its simplicity, and Jack has often stated that this simplicity is essential to the White Stripes'
childlike aesthetic. Meg has also acted as an occasional vocalist for
the band, notably with the track "In the Cold, Cold Night" on the 2003
album "Elephant". Meg made her big screen debut with the Jim Jarmusch
anthology Coffee and Cigarettes (2003). The White Stripes concert film White Stripes: Under Blackpool Lights (2004) offers an opportunity to see Meg behind the drum kit.
