Apple at night

Alfie party

Getting a little bit tipsy

I think Paul has had too much of the bottle of champagne that is sitting in front of him during the after party that happened after he went with Jane Asher to the movie premiere of Alfie in 1966.   I don't know about you, but I would think that Paul would have been funny when he was a bit drunk.  

The fan named Alfie

I have posted this photo before along with the story of the fan from New York named Alfie, who gave George some champagne in the Trident studio garage. The story from Carol Bedford's book tells how beautiful Alfie was and how Carol felt jealous of the way she flirted with George. Well...I have always seen the champagne photo with Alfie cropped out. At last we can see what this beautiful girl looks like! Here she is!

Here's to you!

There is a story in Carol Bedford's book, Waiting for the Beatles that I believe go along with these photos of George. (thetop one does for sure!) In the book, Carol is basically complaining about an American fan named Alfie who is very thin and beautiful and is extremely obvious about her feelings for George. Carol, of course, does not like sharing George with an "outsider" and is angry about how Alfie shows her affection to George and how George reacts.

It was a cold winter night. George came out of Trident Studios and into the garage. He was wearing his black Mongolian fur coat. Alfie grabbed, physically. She had champagne and invited him to have a farewell drink with her. he agreed. After several quick drinks, George was pleasantly mellow. Aflie kissed him and had one of the girls take pictures to prove it! I was outraged at this exhibition and jealous that I had not thought of it myself. Everyone, including Lucy and Margo, had the pictures of Alfie and George. Alfie made sure they go copies of these photos, so everyone could see and know that she and George were "meant for each other."
