To begin with, the girl grew up in a prosperous Jewish family based in New York. Her father, Lee Eastman, ran a law firm with his brother; their customers came primarily from the music scene and the visual arts. The maternal family owned several department stores there. After high school and her mother’s death, Linda Eastman moved to Arizona, where she started studying art and history, but dropped out. Through a friend, her interest in photography was aroused.At the end of 1965 Linda moved back to New York. At first Eastman worked as a receptionist, then she became a freelance photographer. Soon, Linda turned to be a professional photographer, and specializing in rock, she met a member of the Beatles, Paul McCartney, when photographing the group in 1967.

Moreover, Linda McCartney published several books for cooking vegetarian dishes. She founded a company for vegetarian finished products and vehemently campaigned for animal protection. In 1998, Linda McCartney founded the Linda McCartney Foods Pro Cycling Team, a professional cycling team whose athletes were fed on a vegetarian diet.

Afterwards, Linda McCartney placed aside photography and began to deal with music. So, on 4th January 1970 she contributed to the background of the Beatles song “Let It Be”, and then Paul McCartney’s first, self-titled solo album the same year. On the following McCartney album “Ram” (1971) Linda McCartney was as an equal co-singer and as a co-composer of six of the twelve songs of the album. Together with Paul McCartney, she founded the band Wings in August 1971, in which she played the keyboards, sang and also contributed compositions to the first three albums. After the dissolution of the Wings in April 1981, Linda McCartney served as a guest musician for her husband’s albums until 1997. Between September 1989 and December 1993, she was a member of the live band of Paul McCartney. Linda McCartney’s only solo album – “Wide Prairie” – was released in the end of 1998. The last recordings of the album took place on 20th March 1998. Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1995, and her condition soon worsened as it spread to her liver.

Finally, in the personal life of Linda, she married the geologist John Melvin See Jr. in 1962, and gave birth to her first daughter, Heather, on 31st December 1962, but in 1965 the two divorced. Paul McCartney and Eastman married on 12th March 1969 in London. They have three children, Mary (born in 1969), Stella (born in 1971) and James (born in 1977).

Both women were pregnant at their weddings (Ono later suffered a miscarriage, McCartney later gave birth to Mary McCartney). Both had a daughter from a previous marriage.

• Flirted with girl-group singing with school friends in the late 1950s, but didn’t make anything of it.
• Occasionally hinted that she was related to the Eastmans of Eastman-Kodak fame, but her photography career was coincidental. Her father Lee Eastman and brother John Eastman were New York show-business attorneys… and her father changed the family name from its original Epstein. (This wasn’t lost for a moment on John Lennon or Allen Klein, who marvelled at the exchange of the late Brian Epstein for another would-be manager of the same name.)
• Actually found John Lennon the most appealing of the Beatles, when they first came on the scene, but liked Paul better in person after they’d met. (She and John got along adequately in private, but took occasional barbs at each other and their spouses, in the media.)
• Took a lot of flak for her ability (or lack thereof) on keyboards; she played along with husband Paul McCartney’s bands because he wanted her there, as with John Lennon’s making Yoko Ono his musical partner. A late starter, taught mostly by Paul, Linda knew her limitations on keyboards; before going back on the road in the 1990s, she took a winter off to build up her chops. Nonetheless, in her own words, “there’s high-schoolers who could do better”.
• Mother of fashion designer Stella McCartney, who for five years was the head designer for the French haute couture house of Chloe and now designs for her own highly successful label.
• A dedicated vegetarian who founded her own successful range of frozen veggie food in the early 1990s.

• Three children with Paul McCartney: photographer Mary McCartney (Donald), top fashion designer Stella McCartney and musician/sculptor James McCartney.
• Daughter from her first marriage, pottery designer Heather McCartney.
