Our 4th episode of the Dolls Pod Beatle Girl miniseries is all about Lovely Linda!
As Linda Eastman, she was one of rock-and-roll’s premiere photographers, capturing the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones, and the first woman to photograph a Rolling Stone cover. As Linda McCartney, she was an animal rights advocate and one half of one of rock-and-roll’s most beloved couples. With Linda’s love, Paul soared to new heights. Linda was proof you don’t have to choose between being a working woman, a rock-and-roll woman, and a domestic goddess. She truly did it all! (Plus, Abby recounts her visit to the World’s Tallest Filing Cabinet.) Earn your “Wings” with the latest episode of the Dolls Pod, available wherever you stream your podcasts 📸
