It was wideley believed that the girl on the cover of Alice in Chains’ album ‘Dirt’ (released in 1992) was Demri Parrott. But it was the model and actress Mariah O'Brien.

In the Find a Grave site’s forum, the photographer Rocky Schenck says it all:

No problem! Yes, I took that cover photo, and many other AIC covers, too. They are probably one of my all time favorite bands, and a great bunch of guys to work with. I’ve directed several videos for them, too (just type in my name on youtube, along with Alice in Chains, and you can see some of them).

The Dirt cover was shot in my living room, and the model is a great gal named Mariah O'brien. I also used the same gal on a cover I did for Spinal Tap called “Bitch School”. She can be seen in a couple of videos on youtube - Red Kross “Lady in the Front Row” and in Afghan Whigs “Gentleman”.

Best,

Rocky

Mariah Waterfall O'Brien was born in 1971 and starred in films like Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995),Once Ang Again (1999) or Diamonds (1999). Demri’s friend Fabiola says that Demri was pissed off of Maria for being the cover girl of 'Dirt’ because they didn’t use her but a girl who just looked like her.
