Enough with the obsession with her looks. She wasn't gorgeous (nor were either of Lennon's wives), but he must have really loved her. God knows only love could make her attempts at singing seem good.
She was a good photographer though, and had shot multiple rock stars before snagging McCartney.

Linda's father was a high-profile corporate lawyer. His engaging him instead of the lawyer the other Beatles used is what started the disintegration of the Beatles.
I read something Macca said in an interview, which I thought was one of the loveliest things I've read. The interview asked if he and Linda spent many nights apart, and he said that, throughout their marriage, they had spent just one night apart. When the interview asked why, Macca responded "Why would I want to?"

Linda was willing to totally devote herself to Paul and his career. Jane Asher, whom he wanted to marry, wouldn't give up her acting career for him. Considering how many groupies, celebrities, and prosties the Beatles banged in the 60s, by the end of the decade I think all of them just wanted to settle down with a nice woman who would be there when they woke up in the morning.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon were both strange guys. They could have had any woman in the world, but ended up with women who were not even what you would call attractive.
I never thought Linda Eastman was good looking at all. Even when young she had a kind of faded, washed out quality about her. But men found her attractive; she was considered a "man's woman" who was very attentive to the needs of the men in her life. She was a groupie; she tried to make it seem like she was a "photographer" but she was just a groupie with a camera. She was quite a contrast to McCartney's former girlfriend Jane Asher. Jane Asher was very pretty, very independent, with a career of her own as an actress. Their relationship ended due to McCartney's infidelity. Then along comes Linda Eastman, who was totally subservient and passive. She pampered Paul and worshipped him. She'd tell him what an honor it would be to bear his children (yuk!). He must have really liked that. Anyway, he was so besotted by her that he changed due to her influence. Previous well groomed, he grew a sloppy beard and started wearing clothes that made him look like a homeless person. He became a vegetarian. He and Linda both became incorrigible potheads; Linda even smoked it while pregnant. Since John started doing musical projects with Yoko, Paul figured he could do the same with LInda (he and John were always trying to one up each other) even though Linda was completely talentless musically. They became, in their own way, as insufferable as John and Yoko. But they obviously loved each other, that much was true. They had a good marriage until death did them part.

Paul was attracted to her for a number of reasons. He explained later: "I liked her as a woman, she was good-looking with a good figure, so physically I was attracted to her." But he also liked her sense of independence:
"Her mental attitude was quite rebellious ... [growing up] she was the kind of kid who would hang out in the kitchen with the black maids" to learn cooking. She disliked socializing. They both liked natural surroundings, he said, and they shared a love of nature, which became one of their most important emotional links. He knew that because of her "very free spirit," she was considered a rebel and a black sheep by her family for avoiding excelling in education, unlike her father and brother. "She was an artist," Paul said, "and was not cut out to be an academic."

I think his relationship with Linda was a response to John’s relationship with Yoko. John made Yoko his entire life. All John talked about was that he finally found true love and true happiness with Yoko and how they were a team and there was nothing better in the world than true love with your soulmate.
I think Paul decided he needed a soulmate, almost in competition with John and Yoko. Linda was from a rich family and Paul liked rich girls. Linda lost her mother in a plane crash, Paul lost his mother to cancer. Lee Eastman was an entertainment lawyer, so he was not only not starstruck by McCartney, he gave him good advice about The Beatles. When Paul decided Lee made sense & he wanted Lee to represent him, the other Beatles were very angry with him. This made Paul even closer to the Eastman family. It was Paul (and Linda and Lee) against the other 3 Beatles. Linda had a daughter and Paul liked kids and wanted his own. He met someone who lost a mother and who was a mother. I think that really appealed to him. I think he felt really comfortable with the Eastmans the same way he felt very comfortable with Jane Asher’s family.
So yes, I do think he was faithful to Linda and saw Linda & himself as a unit.

And all this stuff about her being ugly - she was very fair and needed makeup. When she did makeup she was a good looking woman.
Paul was also a good-looking guy in THE REAL WORLD and knocks all the fugs considered "hawt" on DL out of the ballpark.
& all this adoration of Jane Asher. She was a sour old cunt and a very mediocre actress. I grew up in England and had much more exposure to her "work" and given all the opportunities she had, she came up with nothing memorable at all.

Paul had brown/green hazel eyes, he still does. He was good looking, not model perfect. He had really good skin, long dark lashes, thick shiny dark hair, he was slim and had pretty nice shoulders(though in keeping with his slimness, not muscular he-man shoulders). Sometimes it's easy forget how young the Beatles were, I mean when they broke up, after 7 years of insanity surrounding them in one form or another, none of them had yet reached 30. Video of Paul below from 1964, it's a couple weeks before his 22nd birthday.
I do think Linda was the love of his life - she was steady and warm and loving. A lot of people who were friends with them say that - Linda wasn't "the famous" one she became famous by extension, the whole giving interviews, etc thing wasn't easy for her that's why she would come across as stiff or cold, but in their real lives, she was generally the sociable one - because Paul in his own way was as damaged by the whole Beatlemania thing as any of them, because you can't go through that sort of all encompassing madness for that long and not have it affect you. He never knew who to trust, who genuinely liked him, she was the person he looked to help him figure out who was real(which could explain the fiasco of Heather Mills, Linda was no longer there to help him figure what a total phony she was).

Funny thing is - Heather Mills looked very like the young Jane Asher - maybe not in still photos, but if you watch anything she filmed in the 60s (not much) you'll see the similarities.

And a color music video from 1967, just try to ignore the rather tragic facial hair situations. You get more close ups of the band once the song really gets going. Paul was not a bad looking guy.

The only similarity between Heather and Jane is a little around the mouth, other than that they had different shape faces, entirely different noses and the set of their eyes was different(Jane's more wider set) and of course different coloring. Jane was not all that. It's great that she had her own career but it doesn't seem like she ever really cared about anything Paul was going through and to be fair he was probably much the same with her. They just weren't that compatible. What they had in common was a love of the arts and creativity, in their respective fields, but other than that they weren't very similar. And by the late 60's Paul was a mess, even if not as obvious a mess as John.

The 62/63 Pauls were marketed as being brown eyed and 5'11". In fact, his big brown eyes were played up as being the 'cutest' things about him. George and John were also supposed to be 5'11", the former with brown and the latter with hazel eyes. Ringo was stated to be 5'7" with blue eyes.

There were rumors that when Linda was trying to ingratiate herself with the same social circle that The Beatles ran in, she made people believe that she was from the prominent Eastman family of Eastman-Kodak wealth. She was as much of a fame whore as Yoko was but she was never as vilified as Yoko. Both women had minimal musical talent yet was thrust into bands with their husbands. Both were into the drug culture along with their husbands. But it was Yoko got all the hate and then some. Of the two though it's Linda who was really the social climber/ wealth seeker. Yoko came from a very wealthy, prominent Japanese banking family with American ties, her family's prominence went back centuries and the family name was in ways similar to British dukedom. She even attended primary school with the Prince Akihito (later Emperor Akihito). What I was respect about Yoko is that she was a lunatic and never apologized for being one, while Linda was fake nice and normal with her Go Veggie! shit. Yoko is fucking still alive today at age 86 after doing god knows how many types of drugs for most of the 1960s-80s. Gotta respect a bitch for still kicking it.
by Anonymous | reply 169 | September 17, 2019 12:02 AM |
Not really, R169, the press picked up on Eastman must be Eastman-Kodak in 1969 (I was around) because they could. It was easily checkable and not denied that the family name was originally Epstein.
Additionally, the reason no-talent Linda joined Wings was that Paul was constantly touring and wanted his wife with him. HE wanted her there. She wasn't keen about it but realized it was imperative to sustain their marriage. Yoko, another story. Linda was not a social climber nor a wealth seeker, a fame whore perhaps. I'm from Scarsdale (1960s), I know the type.
As far as Linda acting all affected during interviews (noted in this thread), I agree. However, Paul acted like a jerk too - most of the time he acted like Beatle Paul circa 1964 in A Hard Day's Night at age 40+. Shaking his hair and mugging for the camera. They were embarrassing. Saying "you know" this and that like English was not his first language. It was only after Linda's death that Paul acted like an adult in an interview.

Yup, I was around at the time too and the press repeatedly said Linda was not from the Eastman-Kodak company, that her father was a lawyer in NY and that the real last name was Epstein.

First of all, I am a retired news reporter/anchor/producer and worked my entire career for the NBC affiliate here in New Orleans, LA. From 1971-1976, I was a 24 year-old "special segments" writer/producer for the late news (10pm cst). In the fall of 1974/spring of 1975, Paul McCartney began appearing in town fairly often, being seen by many frequenting French Quarter restaurants and popping in and out of jazz clubs. Come to find out, he was laying the groundwork details for the recording of his album "Venus and Mars," alot of which was recorded here from what I recall.
Well, it didn't take long for the "newshounds" to sniff out his accomodations - he was staying at the Richelieu Hotel on Chartres Ave. Needless to say, many hours were spent by myself and other young journalists of every media stripe hanging around the hotel and the studio, trying to get a few words from Paul. You'd be surprised just how accomodating he was.....at times. I'd say about 1/3 of the time, he'd give us a curt little nod, a quick wave, or a funny face as he rushed by us down the sidewalk or into a waiting car. Another 1/3 of the time, he'd sort of stick around for a few minutes and simply banter with us, just joking around and what-not. But, the other 1/3 of the time, he'd hang around, often by himself, for a half-hour to an hour or so. A couple of times, an editor-friend of mine actually went for drinks with him at a bar called Napoleon's.
He was exceedingly witty, bright, and talkative. I remember there being something slightly condescending about him, not in a haughty way, more that he had simply become accustomed to "always being right." Totally friendly, though, was he on these occasions.
OK, now for the weird stuff (and there's ALOT of it---moreso than I can get into now). The friend mentioned above was with a now-defunct New Orleans newspaper (The States-Item) in 1964 as a "beat reporter." He tended to do write-ups on local club/restaurant openings, high school sports, fads, etc.
He was also fortunate enough to have met all four Beatles when they came to New Orleans for a 1964 concert at City Park, and to have been present at a "press conference"-style interview (along with about 75-100 other reporters) and a smaller radio interview session (about 10-12 media people in attendance). During the radio interview, he was about 6 feet away from each Beatle, at various points standing even closer, shaking their hands, and getting a friendly clap on the back from Ringo.
by Anonymous | reply 176 | September 17, 2019 3:56 AM |
Fast forward to 1968: New York - same friend finds himself covering several appearances by Paul McCartney for a now-defunct local music magazine. He attends a press interview at The Americana, but doesn't get to ask any questions. Plus, he's confused. Although he is less than twenty feet away from Paul, something about his appearance makes my friend wonder if his eyes are beginning to fail.
Two or three days later, he and a reporter from the NY Times meet Paul in the lobby of the Americana. He stops to talk for a few minutes, seeming to recognize the NY Times reporter, who introduces him to my friend. My friend has said (paraphrase):
"MrKite, I tell you there is no single doubt in my mind that the man I met in 1964 and the one I met in 1968 were two different people. When he first came out for the press conference in New York, I and a few others actually laughed aloud, one reporter asking, 'What's the joke?' He was so obviously not Paul McCartney. I actually thought at first, 'Damn, that guy looks a lot like McCartney!' and was surprised he had someone in his entourage that resembled him so closely. Once I realized that this guy was supposed to be Paul, I just figured 'Okaaa-aay, whatever!' and dutifully recorded the interview. In the lobby of the hotel, up close, I was surer than sh*t it was a different person! No look of recognition coming from him either, even when I mentioned the radio interview and certain things said back in 1964."
Now, it gets weirder: fast forward again to 1974/1975 - this same friend, who had drinks with Paul, claimed that, yet again, he was sitting with a man who was different from both the 1964-Paul AND the 1968-Paul. He sat within arms reach of Paul for at least an hour, and he swore that his bone structure, hair texture, mannerisms, and overall look was but a good approximation of the "other Pauls" he had met.
I myself can personally attest that the Paul here in New Orleans in the mid '70s (who was recording an album) that I personally spoke to on a number of occasions (probably 20-30 times over a few months for a total of about 5-10 hours) was a different man than the one who gave "official" interviews here in New Orleans during the same span of time.
No doubt about it - case closed. I and a few colleagues thought maybe he looked different because he was made-up. Not so. Again, no look of recognition when I queried him. Physically, "official" Paul was a broader, taller specimen with a more sing-song quality to his voice. What's more, his hair was a different length! Yep, "official" Paul's hair was a good two inches longer than "studio" Paul's.
Plus, my friend who sat for drinks with Paul agreed with me. Especially since "official" Paul had responded to an aside comment from him after the interview about their conversation at the Napoleon House with, "I don't know what you're talking about, bub." It was so obvious there were two Paul's running around that it became an in-joke among those of us who hung around the hotel and studio.
I know this was massively long, but I thought it would have a bearing on things. There is alot more to this stuff, as my friend actually drove himself into bankruptcy investigating certain aspects of the anomalies we'd experienced. We all remembered the Paul-is-Dead rumors. What we saw and heard made us consider that there could have been some validity to the alleged rumors.
My friend ended up penniless, divorced, and marginally insane (in my opinion). He had become obsessed with McCartney and, according to him, discovered plenty of info, even claiming to have solved the riddle, to his satisfaction at least. I had less and less contact with him throughout the late '80s and mid-'90s, as he began to spend more and more time abroad, mainly in England and Scotland. He has told me some things that have strained credibilty; however, he was always intelligent, fair-minded, and tenacious in his research.
I have no reasons not to believe him other than my own predisposition not to want to.

Some people think they had 'Street Beatles' for public events and parties and things and other Beatles for interviews. I don't think it was that organized. If you look at the photos, the different Beatles aren't always with the same other different Beatles. All of them were known to be fucking around constantly so I don't think having an official wife or girlfriend mattered much. Most people get stuck on "Paul suddenly looking different" and ignore the 57-63 groups. They were never one group. Why they kept being sent to the red light district in Hamburg instead of staying in the UK to build a same language fan base is never answered.

Although I think the (those) posters are fucking nuts, it would be fascinating if it were true.
R206, I guarantee you that the early Beatles arrangements were not theirs, and that George Harrison did not play the studio solo on Till There was You. George Martin produced and package The Beatles in the studio, arrangements, session musicians and all. That's not a bad thing, and it doesn't take anything away from most of their LPs especially Rubber Soul on. Thinking musical groups make ALL their decisions and play ALL of their instruments ALL of the time, is naive dumb teenager stuff.

No 21 year old man in the history of the species has shrunk 5 inches over 12 months and then shot up again, shrunk again, grown again, shrunk, randomly over the next several years -- except "Paul McCartney".

Which seems more reasonable, that a highly profitable enterprise that was put on a grueling schedule four 4 years, nonstop, had an A Team, a B Team, a C Team, etc. to make sure all bases were covered or that "Paul McCartney" can grow and shrink half a foot, at will?

Sometimes McCartney is in the foreground by a foot or so in some of these photos, which would make him look taller than the others...sometimes the Beatles wore "Beatle boots" (remember those?) with a heel - some did, some didn't in the same photo. There are too many variables.
I was 14 when the Paul is Dead story was launched. I decided then that it was a phony because even of they could find an identical double (even identical twins don't look *exactly* alike), they wouldn't be able to find one with an identical voice. I have not followed the story or what McCartney has said since, but I believe it was a publicity gimmick that was launched going back to the 1967 Magical Mystery Tour LP. Yes, I know the 1966 "Got to get you into my life" supposedly described the auto accident that killed McCartney, I'm referring to the ridiculous visual "clues" such as Paul sitting at a desk with the sign "I Was" in front of him (MMT).

If you don't have an estrogen deficiency, and very few people do, eating large quantities of soy will give you an endocrine disorder. Unfortunately, the US food supply is thoroughly contaminated with soy, from animal feed to being used as unnecessary filler in everything from salad dressing to meatballs to cheeses to juices. Naked Juice (owned by PepsiCo) was sued for using soy as a filler in its drinks without listing it on the ingredients. No one has checked to make sure they (and other beverage makers) are not still doing that.

r231, my background is in film and fine arts. I'm a sculptor, amongst other things. The immutable structures of a human face, such as eye distance and length of the nasal spine, are glaringly obvious to me. I'm not a musician. However, many musicians and other people who are more aurally oriented than I am have studied the oddities in the vocal register and voice prints of "Paul McCartney". A google search for "Paul" + "Faul" + vocal OR voice range OR register will bring up many links on the subject. Additionally, many people who subscribe to PWR (Paul Was Replaced) also believe that there has always been a 'Studio Paul' who, either recorded all vocals and instruments attributed to 'Paul McCartney' or who only did the vocal recordings.
A word of warning about this entire line of investigation is that many people become convinced of PID (Paul is Dead and he died in 1966) and try to fit the facts to that belief. Objectively, the facts to not show that Paul died in 1966 and was replaced with one imposter (Faul). The situation, whatever the fuck it is, is far from being that linear. A close study of footage and photos of "McCartney" from his teen years on, instead, show that there have always been multiple men publicly using the name "Paul McCartney".

I remember reading the story in a doctor's office, and it was just so bizarre. I thought no wonder Stella loathes Mills. And of course pot makes you mellow. That's why it was absurd.

Paul's not cute now but he's a thousand years old (as are we all) and now he's Paul fucking McCartney so it doesn't actually matter what he looks like. Legends have their privileges. Back then we had lower standards and he was, indeed, the "cute" one.
I have a bone to pick with you about your disgraceful and unwarranted attacks on the late Lady Macca's contributions to Wings. First of all, she could tambourine like nobody's business and she did all the phone sound effects in Admiral Halsey - flawless!
It doesn't matter that she couldn't sing and it's not like Macca didn't know. He's never been deaf. He loved her, he wanted her in the band. Symbiosis 24/7 seems to have been his thing.
Didn't Jane Fonda say Ted Turner was like that? Turner strikes me as a lot crazier than Macca's ever been except maybe for that freakish one-legged whore marrying phase.

My parents (in their 30s in the 1960s), were hung up on the Beatles' hair, "they look like fairies" stuff. There was something feminine about The Beatles in the 60s, especially Paul, that didn't go over well with adults.

The early concerts are problematic due to lack of footage and, as I noted, I'm not a musician so I won't pretend to guess how many different people recorded under the name "Paul McCartney". I can only try to catalogue the Pauls who appeared publicly. Right now, there are two Pauls appearing in concert and…at least, two other Pauls. One does interviews. Another seems be effectively retired from public Pauling. And there may be more.
I don't know how they organize themselves or WHY. I can only say with certainty that there have been many men, who frankly don't look much alike, performing the public character of "Paul McCartney" since around 1958.

All of the rolling Stones we're gay and didn't really hide it. The Beatles were very intense. It wasn't just luck. I think the intensity came from being gay. Glenn Campbell was intense but I think his intensity came from being dirt poor and no other prospects. His family were sharecroppers.

Just scrolled through some of the posts by abrasive idiots I've ignored in this thread. More things you're wrong about: the pic @ r234 is NOT photoshopped and I'm as far from a Dump supporter as anyone could possibly get. Your inability to *see* what you're looking at, and I'm sure this applies across the entirety of your life, should concern you. That you can't tell the difference between a man who is 5'6" and one who is 6'3" raises serious questions about your ability to intake and process visual information. You should see a neurologist, or at the very least an optometrist. Additionally, you should realize that your assertion that *no one* can discern the content of non-digital photographs, is both laughable and, again, suggests there is something wrong with your vision.

Paul is on the left of the picture, playing the bass. You can't even make out the features of the others. And the ear is the same - just taken at a different angle.
Don't know whether Linda was a beard, but always thought it was strange that she looked liked Paul in the same way that John Looked like Yoko. What's even stranger (or maybe not) is that Nancy Shevell looks like John.

r340, I don't know anything about Bon Jovi, really, and haven't noticed his name being brought up in discussions of other public figures who have possibly been performed by multiple people.
I have never been a Beatles fan, in fact, I find most of their music aggressively unpleasant to listen to. I dismissed the PID theory the first time I encountered it because it seemed too absurd to possibly be true. About a year and a half ago I fell down a Mandela Effect wormhole and came across a video that, tangentially, delved into the multiple Pauls theory. Looking into it further, I became perplexed by the fact that the Pauls' ears were so frequently different, did not match image to image, could not possibly be the ears of the same person. FYI ears are used as biometric identifiers on par with fingerprints in Germany. While the lobes may grow with age, the inner contours do not change and are entirely unique to every individual. In addition to having a wide variety of ear shapes, the set and location of the Pauls' ears differ, the lobes vary between being connected and unconnected and several Pauls frequently appear to be wearing prosthetic ears of really dodgy quality. This applies to all of 'The Beatles'. I had thought it would be fairly simple to figure out when 'Paul' started wearing fake ears, I'd just go back through photos and it would be obvious. Instead, what I found was that there were multiple Pauls, multiple everybodies, and that the ear weirdness in no way compared to the oddities of the hands of several members of the various Beatle groups. There are many theories that propose to explain 'what it's all about'. I don't subscribe to any of them. I don't think enough information has been uncovered to begin trying to stitch the pieces together. Much inquiry suffers from the personality flaws we've seen run rampant from antagonists in this thread: people begin with a conclusion and dismiss evidence that challenges what they want to be true, rather than allowing the evidence to stack up into a conclusion. A lot of people don't enjoy learning and don't know how to learn.

Right, like in the pics you posted at r332 wherein Paul's ears look different because his hair is longer and covers more of his ear in one photo than the other and they are shot from slightly different angles? Super convincing. And then there's "missing fingers" Paul at r309, whom upon closer inspection has 10 intact fingers but is simply holding the index and middle fingers of his left hand very close together. Again, highly convincing.

Back to Paul-he had that female quality cuteness that adolescent girls lose their minds for. All these years later, who ever would have guessed that Ringo Fucking Starr would be the Hot Beatle?

Okay r349, now I'm more convinced than ever that you're either on the spectrum or just terminally immature. Attractiveness and charisma are subjective. There are no hard-and-fast rules governing whom somebody might be attracted to as a friend, hookup, or lifelong partner. What you find "extraordinarily ugly," somebody else might find perfectly acceptable. What you find ugly but sexy, someone else might find repellent. And for some people, a partner's appearance isn't high on the list of things that matter, or y'know, maybe it does matter, but in a different way that it does to you; e.g, for some people a nice rack might make up for a not-so-hot face. It's kind of weird that you've reached adulthood without realizing these things.

The multi-volume 'Memoirs of Billy Shears', also funded by Macca, similarly insists upon trying to force through this narrative that an 'original' Paul was killed in a car wreck in '66 and replaced with a single lookalike. Anyone who takes the time to actually examine photographs and footage of 'Paul McCartney' and 'The Beatles' from 1957 through early 1963 will clearly see that there is no earthly way for there to have been one 'original Paul' who performed with The Quarrymen/The Silver Beatles/Johnny & The Moon Dogs/etc.

Paul is quite the charmer and I think it's genuine. Not to say there isn't the jerk part of him too, and which is also genuine, but I don't think the charm is all an act, I think it's a genuine part of his personality because from descriptions he's been that way since he was a small child. He's a complex person, the good and the bad elements of his personality can both be genuine just like for most other people.
As a nearly lifelong fan, part of me has always hated him being "reduced" to the Cute One by so many assholes, it being used as a way to belittle his talent and accomplishments, when he's such a genius and gifted song writer and performer. But sometimes, he could be so very "cute", cute as a button, in the right situation. It's not even about looks because even as an old man, he still has his cute moments. It's a personality thing where sometimes he could just be incredibly adorably cute.

George was absolutely adorable when he first joined, he's only 9 months younger than Paul but I guess his spurt hadn't hit yet and was about 5 or 6 inches shorter he looked like someone's dad had said "you can only be in the band if you let Georgie join too!"
When do the Paul is Dead trolls believe he died if they think a supposed height difference in 1963 because the angle in some pictures makes him look smaller than usual?? Plus Paul is nearly always as tall and sometimes slightly taller than the other Beatles in pictures(John Paul and George all claimed 5 ft 11 but I think John was actually a tiny bit shorter whereas Paul and George make it) .

[quote]GROVE: I've recently been going through stacks of photographs of The Beatles, taken over a period of probably 10 years. Some of them are included in this book. As you look at their pictures it is, in many cases, actually difficult to identify the people in the latter period photographs with the people in the earlier photos. They physically do not look close to being the same. If you look at such a wide range of pictures you will find there's even a middle period in which the same people don't resemble the people in the late period or the early period! Why do you think all four of them went through so many physical changes?
[quote]SKLAR: There's no question that they did go through these changes. There's no question the changes were real in terms of the productivity of the work they were doing, the type of work, their physical appearances, their outlook on life and that changes like these do not normally occur in an individual or group. In fact, most artists over the years try to reatin a certain youthfulness that they had earlier. They literally try to present the same face to the public. I imagine that - and I can only speculate here - the changes were caused by the intensity of the pubic reaction to them and its effect upon them. This was a very unusual experience for a human being to go through, and here four of them went through it. The thought of public reaction - reserved in ancient Rome for the Emperor, reserved in ancient Egypt for the Pharoah! It's very rare that you get this kind of reaction by a public to a human being, placing them in semi-Godlike status. That has to have some kind of an effect after time on the individuals involved, who after all are mere mortals. You know, they're people like us. And yet they're subject to this almost deification in the generation in which they are playing. In that ten year period that has to have an effect. Perhaps this is what we are seeing when we see them go through these intense changes unlike other groups of artists.
[quote]So there you have it, according to Grove and Sklar the four Beatles went through some rather bizarre physical changes over the course of barely a decade, and Sklar puts an end to the question of why with the perfectly sensible suggestion that it was literally nothing more than public adulation that made there faces and bodies go through these noticable, incredible changes!

[quote]In a 2009 Wired Italia article, Francesco Gavazzeni and Gabriella Carlesi, two Italian forensic scientists, conducted a biometric analysis of images taken of the Beatle both before and after 1966 for what was originally intended to be a piece debunking the conspiracy theories.
[quote]To their surprise, the scientists found measurements of the shape of the skull and jaw, the curve of the jaw, the ear, palate and teeth displayed marked differences between the Pauls, leading them to conclude with a “high degree of probability” that they were in fact two different men.
[quote]“The mandibular curve between the two sets of photos showed a discrepancy of over 6 percent, well beyond the threshold of error. But there was more, before 1966 each side of the jaw is composed of two curves, since 1967 it appears to be a single curve”, the article explained.
[quote]Gavazzeni and Carlesi outline several other significant morphological differences in Paul’s lips, eyes, nose and teeth; too many, they say, to be down to the natural fluctuations you would expect between different photos of the same person.

R431 Linda didn't leave her husband to do this. She and her husband had divorced months before. She was already back living in New York, with her daughter Heather whom she never abandoned, working as a receptionist and editorial assistant for Town & Country magazine when she got into rock photography. She'd became interested in photography while living in Arizona attending the University of AZ, majoring fine arts. She loved the natural beauty in AZ. She also always loved rock n roll. One of her first relationships after the break up with her first husband was with another photographer and he commented on the relationship between her and daughter and how it was very charming to watch.
When back in NYC, working for the magazine, some invitations came in for the Rolling Stones yacht press conference, so she saw her shot, took it and that was that. She was the only female photographer, young, tall and blonde to boot, who showed up on the dock - and THAT is why she was the only photographer chosen to go on the boat. Which was total luck.
(Also kind of answers the OP's questions about her looks. She didn't need to be all that attractive. She was blonde and straight men lose all judgement with blondes. A blonde can be a dog facially, which Linda wasn't and with a little make up she could be very attractive, but all they see is the blonde hair and that's enough. Whenever you see an ugly blonde and wonder how she got a hot man's attention in the first place, look no further than hair color, that is the answer to the question)
Afterwards all the other media outlets had to buy her pictures to illustrate their articles about this Rolling Stones event and that is how she got her start in rock photography. Say what you want but she took a lot of great pictures of rock stars. She had a great eye.

R438 Decades of research--reading lots of books about The Beatles, Paul McCartney and Linda. Information from Linda herself and her own family including her kids in interviews. LOL That sort of thing. It's also pretty common knowledge to anyone who pays attention to things like dates and events as opposed to taking the sour grapes of fangirls from the 1960's that she got the last unattached Beatle and the angry fanboys who probably wouldn't have picked on her but they hated Paul for "breaking up the Beatles" and figured one way to get back at him was to disparage his wife as gospel. The quote from the photographer she dated after moving back to NYC is on Wiki. It's also well known she didn't abandon her kid, because her kid was with her frequently. People she dated knew her daughter, her friends knew her daughter, Paul met her daughter when their relationship was just starting, so very early into it, because her daughter lived with her in her apartment in NY. One of the things he admired about her was how she balanced her work and motherhood.
Yes Linda slept around pre Paul and sometimes it was with some of the rock stars she photographed. She never hid it, Paul knew it. Paul of course was well known for sleeping around with way more women than she did men. But that doesn't make her a groupie. She had sometimes had sex with people she first met while doing her job - which is not unusual at all. It was behind the camera rather than in front of it but they still ran in the same circles which is how most people met their romantic/sexual partners in those days.

Similarly, there's a man named Colin Unwin who is the caretaker of Lennon's childhood home and bears a striking resemblance to one of the stocky strong jawed Beatlemania-era Johns.
r439, as mentioned above, there are at least two current touring Pauls and a third who does interviews. The stage Paul has mostly brown hair/wig and the stadium screen Paul is all silver.

[quote]Back in 1974, Faul approached Isaac Asimov about making a movie about a band that was being impersonated by ET’s. Ironically, the Faul was going to play one of the impersonators. Here is what wiki had to say about the movie that never happened: Paul (Faul) McCartney approached Isaac Asimov in December 1974 with a possible idea for a sci-fi related project. He had just finished Wings’ Venus and Mars album. In December 1974, former Beatle Paul McCartney approached Asimov and asked him if he could write the screenplay for a science-fiction movie musical. McCartney had a vague idea for the plot and a small scrap of dialogue; he wished to make a film about a rock band whose members discover they are being impersonated by a group of extraterrestrials. The band and their impostors would likely be played by McCartney’s group Wings, then at the height of their career. Intrigued by the idea, although he was not generally a fan of rock music, Asimov quickly produced a “treatment” or brief outline of the story. He adhered to McCartney’s overall idea, producing a story he felt to be moving and dramatic. However, he did not make use of McCartney’s brief scrap of dialogue, and probably as a consequence, McCartney rejected the story. The treatment now exists only in the Boston University archives.
[quote]“Five and Five and One” is a science fiction rock opera suggested to Isaac Asimov by Paul McCartney, but as Asimov noted on the first page of his treatment, “nothing ever came of it because McCartney couldn’t recognize good stuff.” Robotic Revolutions recently had the opportunity to view the Isaac Asimov Collection at the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center at Boston University, where we unearthed Asimov’s original treatment.

Everyone else will notice of course that the rage junkie, in a thread of nearly 500 posts, has still yet to provide any plausible attempts at explanation for the differences between Pauls and relies entirely on personally attacking the messenger. Just like Trump.

Darling, we've given you dozens of plausible explanations for the slight differences in Paul's appearance from one setting and/or time frame to the next. You, on the other hand, have yet to provide even two photos in which Paul looked like two different people.

Cool Ringo story. A friend brought his father on a trip to London about 15 years ago or so. The father is a recovering alcoholic so he wanted to make sure to attend an AA meeting. Dutiful, doting son dropped dad off at a restaurant where the meeting was taking place. During the meeting the father sat next to the loveliest, nicest guy who welcomed him to the group with a friendly handshake and a "Hi, my name's Rich." H went out of his way to be inclusive. When my friend picked up his father, he about fainted. "Dad, don't you know who that was? That was Ringo Starr!" The dad had no idea.

Admittedly though, they did help him, as his business lawyers and advisors, build a business that made him a shit ton of money outside the Beatles, with music publishing. That's why he's supposedly worth around 1 billion dollars now.

The Beatles' song "Two of Us" was about Paul and Linda. This is what Linda said in a 1984 interview:
"As a kid I loved getting lost," Linda told Steve Turner in A Hard Day's Write. "I would say to my father – let’s get lost. But you could never seem to be able to get really lost. All signs would eventually lead back to New York or wherever we were staying! Then, when I moved to England to be with Paul, we would put [Paul's sheepdog] Martha in the back of the car and drive out of London. As soon as we were on the open road I’d say, 'Let’s get lost' and we’d keep driving without looking at any signs. Hence the line in the song, 'Two of us going nowhere.'
"Paul wrote 'Two of Us' on one of those days out. It’s about us. We just pulled off in a wood somewhere and parked the car. I went off walking while Paul sat in the car and started writing. He also mentions the postcards because we used to send a lot of postcards to each other."
