One of the first Mary Quant models, Prudence Bury was part of Swinging London at its beginning. Prue appeared with the Beatles in “A Hard Day’s Night” before Mary sent her to New York to introduce the miniskirt to America.
My eldest sister occasionally likes to remind me that she attended both of the Beatles shows at Shea Stadium. The legendary 1965 concert was held two weeks before Mary Quant’s New York fashion show, where Prue introduced miniskirts to America.
The unprecedented success of the Beatles at Shea Stadium gave promoters the idea that the venue would be good for other acts, as seen in this 1966 poster.
Here’s the batty tale of how Batman followed the Beatles to Shea Stadium, and why Bob Dylan didn’t.
They’re not letting it be. The last Beatles movie, the original Let It Be documentary by Michael Lindsay-Hogg is, at last, restored and available for viewing on Disney+.
Now let’s go back to the first Beatles movie, with a documentary about A Hard Day’s Night.
Just got off the phone with Prue, wishing her a very Happy 83rd Birthday. She continues to live in Spain, playing tennis and bridge.
OMG… look at what Pattie is auctioning, with no mention of Prue.
I sent the link and those pictures to Prue. She’s going to be so pissed, and if she isn’t, she should be. I haven’t heard from Prue in a few months, which is my fault really, and I hope she’s doing all right.
That photo is actually the second in a series. It comes after this one.
All aboard the Hard Day’s Night train.
Prue looked rather less pleased sitting next to Wilfred, than she did with John.
Prue is my ultimate Sixties “English Posh Bird,” but the most famous British model of the era was Twiggy.
Twiggy made a guest appearance in my buddy Bismo’s all-time favorite movie, The Blues Brothers.
This Pratt is locked on Prue, but another guy named Pratt, named Guy, recently spoke with Twigs.
