Linda McCartney

"When Danny Fields first met Linda Eastman in 1966 they were both part of the struggling and largely ignored rock music press. She was an aspiring photographer, raised in a wealthy New York family, on assignment to shoot the notorious Rolling Stones. On the strength of those stunning photos Linda's career as a photographer exploded overnight. For almost three years she was a major figure on the New York rock scene.

Though a devoted single mother, she hung out with members of Warhol's factory and photographed superstars like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Winwood, Jim Morrison, and Janis Joplin. But when Paul McCartney of the Beatles, one of the world's most eligible bachelors, invited her to live with him in London, she gave up her career and joined him.".

"For over thirty years, until her tragic death from cancer in 1998, Linda McCartney was one of Danny Fields's closest friends - a confidant in art, love, career, and men.".

"Linda McCartney: A Portrait is a fascinating personal document about an epic time and a simple woman whose grace and integrity gave strength to everyone she touched. From her turbulent life in the '60s to her struggle for self-identity to her devotion to family, Danny Fields is able to put you inside Linda's story because he was part of it."--BOOK JACKET.
