    Description

    Here are 2, 6 x 4 photos of Freda Kelly with Paul and one with Ringo and George. Freda was the President of the Beatles fan club from it's start to it's end. She was also in the film Magical Mystery tour. These photos were sent by Freda as a thank you for helping fund the movie ,"Good Ol' Freda" which was released in 2013.
    Here is some info on her.
    Freda Kelly
    (born 14 July 1945) was the secretary to
    Brian Epstein
    and the English rock band
    the Beatles
    from 1962 through 1972, and president of the group's official
    fan club
    . Kelly worked with the band as it rose from local popularity to world-wide fame, and through its dissolution. A 2013 documentary,
    Good Ol' Freda
    , chronicled Kelly's ten-plus year association with the group and its members.
    When Brian Epstein undertook the management of the group at the beginning of 1962, he asked Kelly ? already a familiar face to Epstein and the band ? if she wanted a job as his secretary.

    Kelly, who was seventeen years old at the time, took the job against her father's advice.
    One of her first tasks was organization of a Beatles Fan Club. Unwisely, she supplied her home address as the club's mailing address, and her house was inundated with hundreds of letters every day. Later she changed the official address to that of Epstein's office. Kelly was responsible for responding to fans? letters, often staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning to do so. She also oversaw publication of a monthly fan club magazine.

    After Epstein's death in 1967, Kelly continued to work for the Beatles. She married and became a mother, but officially ended her work for the group only in 1972, and even then continued to respond to fan club mail for three years thereafter.
