About Freda Kelly, The Beatles' beloved secretary (who also ran their fan club) from before when they blew up to after they broke up almost a decade later. Unlike every other person who came within the rarified air of their OUTER circle, much less their supremely inner circle, Freda never cashed in on her closeness to the band. The Beatles treated her like a little sister and their parents like a daughter; Freda's relationship with Ringo's mother and Paul's father in particular was a nice thing to watch. And it all started out because Brian Epstein plucked her out from the gaggle of teenagers who would go to work, then pop over to The Cavern Club for lunch, then go back to work. No big whoop. Fascinating.
Also, a reminder that one day will be left standing the last living person who ever saw The Beatles live.
Check it out today on Netflix.
