1. Dunno, but

are you sure it was a woman? There are some moments where I'm not so sure...

2. I seek only the truth.

I am not afraid.

3. I read somewhere --

In the song he writes, 'There's someone I used to see, but she don't give a damn for me' he is referring to Mary Badham. After a week, she refused to see him. She reportedly said, 'I don't give a damn for you, Tom' and slammed the door in his face.
Mary and Tom had an on again off again relationship for 20 years until 1993. It was very violent I heard. Of course she had relationships with Sting, Iggy Pop, a one night stand with Jim Morrison, a long relationship with Jimmy Page and Mick Jagger.

4. Interesting, but...

I was not clear in the OP that I was referring to the actress that takes the mic for a moment in the video for the song.

5. I haven't seen the video in years, but

I seem to recall that she looked like Tula Cossey, who is a woman.

6. I found this tiny pic searching on the song name...

Edited to add more distance between nice picture above and really ugly and scary pix below.
