The Beatles Ladies

Where are they now? People magazine has a spread on the women who were most intimately associated with The Beatles in their December 18 edition. Included in the article are a number of great pictures of the women as they appeared then and now.

 

Now of course you should go out an buy the magazine, but just in case you are somewhere that People doesn't publish, we have been offered the opportunity to link to them. We posted these with the greatest caution about copyright and what not, but they are not the property of OUR website, nor do we accept any responsibility in their creation or their availability.

 

Jane Asher was a household name in the sixties. She was, after all, the girl that Paul was dating. Rumors abound that he asked her to marry him, that she refused, that Linda spirited him away, and on and on. But she was the subject of such songs as "And I Love Her," and the bane of many a teenage girl's existence.

 

Today Jane Asher is 54 and married to a British cartoonist. She has three children, writes books, does TV shows, and is a popular British celeb.

 

Cynthia Lennon gained instant fame as the wife of the only Beatle to be married. She was kept a secret for a while, but by the time The Beatles played Ed Sullivan, she was no longer in the shadows.

 

Her marriage to John has been well documented,

and it was likely no great joy. But at 61today, she says she has no ill-feelings towards John. She is mother to Julian Lennon, and keeps busy by painting. She currently lives in Normandy, France.

 

Pattie Boyd caught George's eye during the shooting of Hard Day's Night. She was a model and was married to George from 1966 - 77. Drop dead gorgeous, she caught the eye of every young

Beatle wannabe, banging out crude songs on cheap electric guitars.

 

She also caught the eye of Eric Clapton, who was banging out great songs on very expensive guitars. After her divorce from George, she married Clapton with George's blessing.

 

She was the inspiration of many songs, but of special note are George's "Something" and Clapton's anthem "Layla."

 

Her marriage to Clapton also ended in divorce (must be catching), and today she is involved in a number of charitable causes.

 

Maureen Coxwas a working girl from Liverpool, with whom Ringo fell in love and married in 1965. Their marriage lasted through a stormy period in Ringo's life, but eventually ended in divorce in 1975. Unfortunately, Maureen fell ill to leukemia and died in 1994. Ringo was there at her bedside.

 

Today, Ringo is married to Barbara Bach and the couple lives in Monaco.
