About
On January 13, 1967, Jane Asher, Paul McCartney’s girlfriend at the time, and her mother, Margaret, flew to Boston to start a five-month tour across North America with the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. In April 1967, Paul took a ten-day holiday to visit her in Denver.
Jane returned to London on this day, May 29, 1967. Paul was at Heathrow to welcome her.
She had
Hunter Davies (author of The Authorized Biography of the Beatles): “When Jane returned from a five-month theatrical tour of the United States, she found that there had been a change in Paul.”

Barry Miles (author of Many Years Later): “When Jane was at home, it was inevitable that there was a sense of tension. She and her friends didn’t use drugs, but Paul and his friends did. Jane was determined to pursue her career as an actress, while Paul thought she could give it up and dedicate herself to him. Their relationship was at an impasse, but their friendship was so close that neither of them wanted to admit that they wouldn’t succeed, so they continued their relationship.”

Marianne Faithfull (singer): “I don’t remember them getting along well, Jane and Paul. It was kind of a game, and I can definitely say that he was much happier with Linda, because it was very difficult for him to be with Jane. I always thought that Jane and Paul’s relationship was very strained. I remember one evening on Cavendish Avenue she wanted to close the window, and he wanted the window to stay open. It was like one of Joe Orton’s plays. It was great. I sat there all evening, watching Jane get up and open the window and Paul close it, and not a word was said about it. When they broke up, it was expected for me.”

Old Vic fly in – for a rest
Members of the tired but triumphant company of Old Vic players who have spent 19 weeks touring North America began a week’s rest today.
Friends and relatives turned out in force at London Airport yesterday to greet them back from Montreal. And Beatle Paul McCartney appeared out of nowhere to slip off with Jane Asher. Artistic director Val May was there to welcome them all.
The company will assemble again at London Airport early next Sunday to begin a tour of Europe. They need now to catch up on sleep. They had flown all night from Montreal, where they performed Hamlet before a capacity audience at the new Expo 67 Theatre — the first British company to appear there. The performance was sold out three months in advance. Leading man Richard Pascoe described their reception on their coast-to-coast tour as “tremendous.”

They may not look familiar, but you know their faces very well
ARM in arm, a boy and a girl at London’s Heathrow Airport yesterday. And as they walk away from the camera, it may seem rather difficult to distinguish them from any other couple who think that three’s a crowd. But in a more conventional setting — facing the camera, that is — they are unmistakably Beatle Paul McCartney and his actress friend Jane Asher. Paul met Jane at the airport after she had flown home from America.
