Good Ol’ Freda: The Beatles Secretary
DESCRIPTION: Freda Kelly, the shy Liverpudlian teenager who became The Beatles’ loyal secretary and dedicated friend for their whole career, tells her story for the first time.
Freda Kelly was just a shy Liverpudlian teenager when she was asked to work for a local band hoping to make it big. Though she had no concept of how far they would go, Freda had faith in The Beatles from the beginning, and The Beatles had faith in her.
History notes that The Beatles were together for 10 years, but Freda worked for them for 11. Many people came in and out of the band’s circle as they grew to international stardom, but Freda remained a staple because of her unfaltering loyalty and dedication.
As the Beatles’ devoted secretary and friend, Freda was there as history unfolded; she witnessed the evolution – advances and setbacks, breakthroughs and challenges – of one of the greatest bands in history.
Freda tells her story for the first time in 50 years. One of few documentaries with the support of the living Beatles and featuring original Beatles music, the film offers an insider perspective on the beloved band that changed the world of music. (More 4)
