THE BEATLES: PAPERBACK WRITER: BEATLES BEFORE & BEYOND by CAROLE M.HOPKIN

BEATLES BEFORE & BEYOND is an autobiography and memoir written by Carole M. Hopkin, the sister of the famous 1960s Welsh singer Mary Hopkin.

Rather than a traditional biography of the band, the book offers a unique, firsthand perspective of the 1960s music revolution. After graduating from art school, the author's life was completely upended when her sister Mary was famously signed by Paul McCartney to Apple Records. Carole was instantly swept into the inner circle of the Beatles' world.

Here is the book description (Amazon) :

The ups and downs of being in and out of the limelight. Showbiz from the wings.

Dancing with Sinatra, singing with Robert Mitchum, chatting with the Beatles, dining with Buzz Aldrin, making cake for David Bowie, taking the Duchess of Gloucester shopping, and having strange meetings with Anthony Hopkins have added to a life well-lived, rich with good friends, family, and memories.

As the author graduates from Art School her career path is waylaid by her sister's sudden rise to world fame, and the two girls are whisked from recordings at Apple Records and Abbey Road to first class travel several times around the world.

Through this the author manages to sustain her writing and painting, adding singing, dancing and acting to her C.V. along the way.

She stars in The Mousetrap, and Dr. Who, chats to Richard Burton in New York, and Maxime de la Falaise as she makes Andy Warhol's birthday cake.

She's on board H.M.S. Hermes, entertaining the troops after the Falklands war and gets to paint in George Harrison's garden when she lives in Henley. In Monte Carlo she meets Anthony Burgess and Rex Harrison and parties away with the best of them.
The book sums up the best and the worst of being in and out of the limelight!
