Jane Asher & Paul McCartney — Yesterday

By the time she was seventeen, London actress Jane Asher had already made a name for herself, onstage, in films, and in 1963 as a panelist on the BBC’s Juke Box Jury, a popular musical variety show. Due to her youth and popularity, she was offered an opportunity: interviewing The Beatles after their upcoming Royal Albert Hall concert. This simple assignment would be the start of a five-year relationship with Paul McCartney and a wild journey through the eye of Beatlemania and the 1960s cultural revolution, during which Jane would truly find herself.   SOURCES Shout: The True Story of the Beatles by Philip Norman  Paul McCartney: The Life by Philip Norman The Beatles: Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years (Documentary) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
