In 1968 Paul McCartney met an American lady (Linda Eastman) at a party. Despite Paul dating Jane Asher at the time, it seems the evening went rather well and the two ran away to Spain for a week, staying with Hunter Davies. All McCartney brought with him was a £20 note, his guitar and a swimming costume. Nine months later Mary Anna McCartney was born.
Hunter still has the cozzie. ‘When Paul dies… I’m gonna get the DNA out of his crotch and I’m gonna make lots of little McCartneys’.
