I think both of them were just too young and caught up in their careers.

Wow! Great to see that she's still pretty after all these years! She must be
60!

Good point. She was determined to have him for years before they started
dating.

Thanks for posting this pic.
I was a teenager during the whole "Paul dumps Jane for Linda" thing
and I remember feeling that Linda was a horrible interloper breaking
up a perfect relationship. Recently, when Paul said that the public
has never forgiven him for breaking up with Jane (in response to
criticism of Heather) I have to admit that I thought he might have a
bit of a point there...even though many posters on AGC dismissed the
idea.
When I was in London a couple of years ago I went to a play just
because Jane Asher was in it...I can't even remember what it was now.
She looked terrific, as she does in this pic. Proof that aging women
stars can still look great without trying to look 22.

He didn't drop Jane for Linda. Jane got fed up and broke up with him,
after which he began an affair with American writer Francie Schwartz.
Then he met Linda and dropped Francie for her. Francie has written about
this numerous times over the years, especially about the beginning of
John's romance with Yoko. Jane was already involved with someone else
(maybe the father of her first child) when Paul married Linda.

You forgot Peggy Lipton who was into between shana maidles Francie and Linda
Eastman (nee Epstein). That was during Paul's Jewish troika period.
He was dating so many Jewish babes at the same time that I think he started
to bench the shabbas candles on Friday night.
I must say... I LOVED Jane Asher. Looking back, I don't really know why,
but she was a role model or something. I adored Paul McCartney and when she
was his girlfriend, she seemed to be SO wonderful, perfect, etc. I can't
tell you how my 14 year old heart took to Linda.....
In any case, I am glad Jane still looks good. That's always a plus in your
50's....

Stalk much?
Uh -- this happened in 1971 and apparently he has had no contact with her in
the past 33 years. How on earth is that stalking?

I believe Paul wrote P&G's first big hit "World Withour Love." Waller
dated the late Eddie Cochran's fiancee Sharon Sheeley for awhile in the
60s before she married Shindig's Jimmy O'Neill. Peter became a very
successful record producer who did many of Linda Ronstadt's 70s hits. He
dated McKenzie Phillips for awhile.

McCartney wrote the song "Woman" for them, under the pseudonym Bernard Webb.

What A Friend We Have In Cheeses.
Linda C.
what a hot piece...and she has both legs!
Fortunately, I was already in college when Paul married Linda and John
married Yoko, but when I was in Jr. High, the Beatles' chicks were who
we all wanted to look like. Sixteen magazine had stories on how to do
your hair and makeup like Cyn, Pattie & Jane. I'm a blonde, so Pattie
was always my role model and I'd spend hours getting my hair to hang
straight and painting on the black eyeliner and pale lipstick.

I liked chad and jeremy too. sigh.
Their band name was the Redcoats.
Why do I remember something like this when I can't remember to do my
laundry?
Linda C.
No, but that last post did remind me of Boyce & Hart on "Bewitched."
Serena did they song "I'll Blow You A Kiss in the Wind." I dated Tommy a
few times back in the day and still feel bad that he killed himself.

Sharon wrote Poor Little Fool for Ricky Nelson. She used to describe him
as one of the nicest guys anyone could ever meet. If Rick were alive
today, there would definitely be a superstar band backing him up.
Poor Little Fool
Sharon Sheeley
I used to play around with hearts that hastened at my call,
But when I met that little girl I knew that I would fall.
(chorus)
Poor little fool, oh yeah, I was a fool, uh huh..
She played around and teased me with her carefree devil eyes,
She'd hold me close and kiss me but her heart was full of lies.
(chorus)
She told me how she cared for me and that we'd never part,
And so for the very first time I gave away my heart.
(chorus)
The next day she was gone and I knew she'd lied to me,
She left me with a broken heart and won her victory.
(chorus)
I'd played this game with other hearts but I never thought I'd see,
The day that someone else would play love's foolish game with me.
(chorus)

was it them or Peter and Gordon who appeared on the old Patty Duke show?
I know. She lived down the block from where I am now when she was dating
Ricky and told me some great stories before she left us.
She used to describe him

I prefer to think there *is* a superstar band backing him up. RIP Ricky.
