As a fellow big Beatles fan, I think I would also be disappointed there wasn't more dishing in the movie. I'm still going to see it one day though! I like gossip when it comes to stars. :) Thanks for the review!

I hate to admit it, but I like knowing the personal lives of my faves too... but again, that is what probably got and allowed her to feep that most awesome job in the world!! From 17-27, 1960-1970, she was their Secretary, friend, in the studio, offices, on tour, in hotels, she was with them at photo shoots.. know that I know her face, she pops out to me wherever I look.. And I am like "No, That's NOT Mal Even's wife or Derek Taylor's Girl or George Martins niece. That's 'Good Ol' Freda'. She was pretty..no VERY discreet about the "good stuff". Disappointing, but the fact that she hasn't written a book, she hasn't cashed in, I think she is still a secretary elsewhere instead of making Thousands of dollars on the Beatles Convention circuit telling stories. She lead a quiet life, not even the neighbors knew.. just her family and best friends. The documentary filmmakers had to find her and drag her out.

Hmm interesting. To her they weren't really famous or anything larger than life, they were just her friends. That's kind of nice. If she kissed and told, it would probably be all over the tabloids, even know, so I sort of admire her for that. Still!

I like May too.... and though I love Yoko and see her for what she really was...an awesome artist that opened John's mind and was his muse, I don't like how she hand picked May to "watch over John" and be John's girlfriend during their separation because she must have known an innocent 19/20 year old living in John Lennon's bed for his 18 month long "Lost Weekend" was BOUND to fall in love with him and Yoko also knew that John was lost without her and they would eventually reconcile. I mean, I still think about my first love, how do you get over JOHN LENNON ( ... )
