Linda McCartney




Linda McCartney (September 24, 1941-April 17, 1998), born Linda Eastman in
Scarsdale, New York.

Biographical Information

Linda grew up in the Scarsdale area of New York. She established herself as
a professional photographer in the rock and roll scene, and met her husband,
Paul McCartney, while photographing the Beatles in 1967. They married in
1969. She and Paul raised four children: Heather (from a previous marriage),
Stella, Mary, and James.

After the breakup of the Beatles in 1971, Paul began teaching Linda to play
keyboards, and included her in the lineup for his new band, Wings. Although
Linda was shunned by music critics for her amateur singing and playing
skills, Wings garnered several Grammy Awards for their music. Linda
developed her musical talent through the years, even writing and recording
her own music. Her album, Wide Prairie was released posthumously in 1998.

Linda introduced her husband to vegetarianism and popularized a meatless
diet through her best-selling cookbooks and line of frozen vegetarian meals.
Additionally, Linda was a vocal advocate for animal rights.

When breast cancer claimed Linda's life in 1998, Paul suggested that fans
remember her by donating to breast cancer research, "or the best tributeÑgo veggie".
