Name of the Video: Good Ol' Freda.

It can be streamed on Netflix.

If you are a big Beatles fan, you will probably enjoy it!

Freda ran the Beatles Fan Club and was the secretary of Brian Epstein and the Beatles organization. She got to know the Beatles in the early day before they were famous... back when Pete Best was still the drummer!

A POV you cannot get from anyone else.

She was 17 years old and working as a typist at a company in her hometown of Liverpool. One day she went to lunch with some friends to a place called the Cavern....

Another interesting Beatle item...has anyone read the book written by George Harrison's first wife, Patty Boyd. What a very interesting book. George met her during the making of A Hard Day's Night. She eventually left him for Eric Clapton. She was a model and although she was treated pretty rotten by both musicians, she led a most fascinating life as their wife and also in her own right as a model. Really good read if you are a Beatle's fan.

I also read that book, it was so good. Great pictures and a true behind the scenes look at what it was like being with a beatle.
