Actress Jane Asher

The one and only.



When the Beatles first met the teenaged, classically trained London actress in the early sixties, legend has it that they all proposed marriage on the spot. She soon became Paul McCartney's girlfriend, and they became the hottest item in Swinging London. But like most Hollywood romances in America, this couple was doomed to part. They did so in 1968.

Also known as the sister of pop rocker and record producer Peter Asher (formerly of Peter and Gordon), Jane Asher managed to become a star in her own right, having starred in several BBC television and radio productions, as well as several movies from Alfie in 1966 to, more recently, Death At a Funeral in 2007.



Now 62 and having been married to illustrator Gerald Scarfe (you know the caricatures in the sleeve of Pink Floyd's The Wall? him) for 37 years, Jane Asher has written three novels, wtires, cake decorating books, runs a cakemaking business, and is involved in several British philanthropic institutions.

And she's still beautiful. :-)
