Jane Asher

Jane Asher was hired to be on the BBC programme, Juke Box Jury. The show had regular people and musicians judge the latest hits on the radio. The seventeen-year-old was asked to do an interview on the show with The Beatles, pose for photographs and scream. After the show, she met up with the band in the green room. After talking to the well-educated, sophisticated Asher, they invited her back to their hotel, to which she accepted. After being embarrassed greatly by John Lennon; Asher , Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Chris Hutchins, and Shane Fenton (the last two of which were friends of the Beatles) went to Hutchins' flat on Kings Road. There was plenty of Irish whiskey to go around, and the more the men all drank, the more they flirted with Asher. Needless to say, she was very much overwhelmed.

McCartney later recalled his first meeting with Asher:"We all said, 'Will you marry me?' which is what we said to every girl at the time. (Jane was) a rare London bird, the sort we'd always heard about"At first, it seemed that George Harrison took the most interest in Jane Asher, but it soon became apparent that it was Paul McCartney who fancied her the most. After lots of suggestive discussion amongst the entourage, they all left, leaving Asher and McCartney in the bedroom of Chris Hutchins' flat.When the others returned hours later, they were greeted with an unexpected scene: McCartney and Asher were talking about their favorite foods.

Everyone except Asher decided to go out that night in London's West End, and they decided they'd take her back to Wimpole Street. Before she left their car, McCartney asked for her phone number.Paul McCartney was a frequent visitor to the Asher home. On one day, Asher's mother, Margaret, thought it would be nice to have McCartney living at their home whenever he was in London.. Once, the bassist had missed his train to Liverpool and Asher's mother let him stay for the night. He took up their offer became a fixture on the top floor of the Wimpole Street home.
