Has a stunning amount in common with
Linda McCartney,
Paul McCartney's late wife. Both women were raised in extremely
wealthy environments. Both attempted to make it on their own (McCartney as a photographer, Ono as an actress and artist), only to later be accused of marrying their husbands for their money despite their families' wealth. Both attended Sarah Lawrence College (at different times) and left without finishing degrees. Both married a frontman for the Beatles, and these weddings
took place eight days apart in March 1969 (the McCartneys were first).
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. Both had mentally
unstable former husbands (Ono's later kidnapped their daughter and took
her to a fundamentalist Christian commune; McCartney's committed
suicide in 2000). Both were accused of playing a major role in the
Beatles' breakup. Both suffered personal attacks by fans and by the
press. Both suffered attacks on their musical talent (particularly
vocal) by fans and the press. Both were older than their husbands. Both
were activists.
