Jane Asher: Paul Mccartney
built 218 days ago
Jane was asked to be part of Juke Box Jury when she was 17, and did an interview with The Beatles. She got on well with them all, and they all went out for a drink after the show. Paul McCartney was very much taken with her, and ended up asking for her number. They started going out - and Paul moved in with her at her family’s house in London. Beatlemania was at its height, and the relationship was seen as a sign of swingin’ London.

Born in 1946, the daughter of a physician and a professor of music, Asher became a child actor and first appeared with a small part in the 1952 film Mandy, about a deaf child and her parents. Nine years later she starred in a cinema adaptation of Rumer Godden's loss-of-innocence novel, The Greengage Summer. It was in 1963 that this stunning, miniskirted redhead who epitomised the 1960s youthquake met McCartney, when photographed with The Beatles for a Radio Times interview. Their relationship lasted five years and they got engaged before ultimately splitting up as a result of his infidelity.

Able to break away from the shadow of her relationship with McCartney, Asher established herself as a leading actress. She had had roles in popular films such as Alfie with Oscar-winner Michael Caine (The Cider House Rules), and The Masque Of Red Death, but it was her role in the revival of John Osborne's Look Back In Anger that was a breakthrough. Asher later recalled that "it was the first time took myself seriously (as an actress)." She wasn't the only one who thought so, critics and audiences alike were so delighted with her performance that it had a run in London's West End. The role has been called 'her dramatic coming of age.'
