What Did Mimi Think Of Paul?

🥲 I love them so much

no pictures please

“To Ann Hope you will be out of hospital soon, Love from George Harrison xxx”

Pictured are two autographed photos, sent to a Beatles fan, Ann Bartlett, who was just 16 years old when she died of leukemia in the 1960s. It appears that George Harrison signed his own name, and then forged John, Paul and Ringo’s autographs for this critically ill fan:

“‘My daughter died of leukaemia in the late 1960s when she was 16. She was a mad Beatles fan and our next-door-neighbour in Barnet was John Riley, The Beatles’ dentist,” [Harry Bartlett] said. ‘When Ann was ill, she and a friend did some drawings of The Beatles which he volunteered to give them, and they sent back some photographs. I gave them to my solicitor Colin Wright who is raising money for leukaemia research at the UEA, and has also lost a daughter to leukaemia.’ Mr Bartlett said it came as no surprise to find out that three of the Beatles’ signatures could be phoneys. ‘I’d heard in London that George Harrison was the master forger of the group,’ he added. Andrew Bullock, head of the book department at Keys, said they have consulted a leading dealer in Beatles autographs who believes it ‘more than probable’ that all the names on the two photographs are Harrison’s work. ‘There are quite a few signatures that were all done by George Harrison, as he was quite pleased that he had got so good at doing them,’ he explained. ‘There is this young girl who is sadly not at all well, George is aware of this and he is not able to get the other three members to sign. It adds a certain something and it’s actually quite nice.’” - Autograph Market, 2 May 2009

This may or may not relate to the following letter: “Dear Beatles Monthly people, We want to tell you what great fellas the Beatles are. About three weeks ago, we wrote to George Harrison’s address, saying that our friend, Anne, was very ill, and requesting a pic (signed) to be sent to her. Within a very short time, she received a pic of the lads, signed not only by George, but by every single Beatle! We think they are the kindest boys in showbiz. Ann and Jane, York” - The Best Of The Beatles Book (x)

George kissing Pattie's wedding ring. So sweet ❤️🥰!

Thank you to owner.

Continuing yesterday's post. This is take three of "My Life" the early version of "(Just like) Starting Over". The lyrics were completely different from the final version. The early version shows the romantic plea, the offering of one's life to someone you love deeply. In the vein of "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" - "Take my hand, take my whole life, too"

Hey it says pause on the…. Argh! My life. Take three. Where is the mic? Oh, there it is. My life take it, it's mine to give Take it, let me live in you My life, take it, it's yours Do what you will, I dedicate it to you. What's the use in waking? If you're not there To share the dreams and nightmare My life, take it for better or worse Why waste time? We both know Together is the only way we'll make it Anyway, take it, my life. My life is you. What's the use in waking? If you're not there To share the dreams and nightmare I've only myself to… I've only myself to give For better or worse I dedicate, My life to you.
