By now, the Beatles Weekend in Ouistreham, Normany, with Prue Bury as a guest of honor, must be winding down. I hope somebody has been taking pictures. I would love to get hold of some.
I found thumbnails of other photos with Prue and Pattie from “A Hard Day’s Night,” seen nowhere else, that apparently are sealed in the Disney Vault.
I found this “Hard Day’s Night” dress on the Beatles Web site, which looks as though it were made for Prue:

When I pointed it out to her, Prue replied…
“That is a great dress!! Can’t think why I haven’t got one!!”
I’m in the middle of helping Prue with a Christmas project she has in the works, by trying to secure performance rights for songs that aren’t in the Public Domain. So far I’ve found only limited success, but I’m hoping for better results this week. I would like to thank Mr. Lawrence S. Kartiganer for his help. He is a Hollywood attorney in the great and grand tradition, and a true gentleman. If there were more like him the world would be a better place.
Lia — I haven’t heard from Prue herself since the Beatles Weekend, but I know some of what she revealed. Prue was more connected with the Beatles and Pattie than we knew!
Doug! it is great your are helping Prue with her show :).
ah! I love that dress too!
Yes, aren’t the hats great? Don’t know how I can get larger copies of those photos, but I’ll try. My big challenge right now is getting permission for Prue to do more songs for her Christmas show without her having to spend a lot of money.
OH!!! These little pictures are so rare!, Patti and Prue with the hats, Thanks so much for share it, Doug 🙂 You are the greatest Prue Bury fan!

Wow! DogRat gets legal. And wouldn’t that dress look just adorable with a pair of tall white go-go boots? 😉
I used to work for the guy who CLAIMS he started protecting the legal rights of musicians, Lee Berk (as in Berklee College of Music). He retired in 2004:

I have no idea what Mr. Kartiganer has to say on that subject, but would be very interested to know. I do not have fond memories of the place.
