Fact #98595
When:
Short story:
The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein places a call to his company, NEMS', New York City representative Walter Hofer, and puts him in charge of fan-mail in the USA. His first batch consists of 37 sacks.
Full article:
Walter Hofer : Brian told me, 'You're our attorney, we need you over here.' He gave me the job of dealing with all The Beatles' fan mail. I put my usual messenger service to work on it. Later on, I got this call from the messenger - 'Mister, I'm 77 years old. There's 37 sacks of mail here.'
We set up a special department in another hotel to deal with it. One of the letters that was opened had come from Lyndon B. Johnson. Another was from the manager of The Plaza. 'When are you guys going to settle your cheque?' it said.
Ronnie Spector : I had met The Beatles in England when The Ronettes were doing their first tour in '63, and The Beatles loved us and asked us to go on their US tour. After the other Ronnettes left [The Beatles' suite at The Plaza, New York), there was a big party with a naked girl dancing on a bed and The Beatles were taking pictures of roadies having sex with her. I was sitting on John Lennon's lap and felt something very hard in his pants. I immediately jumped up, and ran out of the hotel. John called me the next day. That was his way of apologizing.
