Yet she still pined for him and what might have been if not for Yoko. Improbably, she said she was still in love with John, whom she had seen only once after divorcing him in 1968. I could never quite figure out what made her so sad. She was also a melancholic figure, wistful, smoking cigarettes and drinking white wine into the small hours. Peter had introduced me to all four Beatles and their inner circles - friends, family, wives, and ex-wives - but Cynthia was the only one with whom I felt really simpatico.Ĭynthia was a lovely person, sweet, soft-spoken, and - despite living in a fishbowl for most of her life - shy. It was in Ruthin, Wales, where she was running a bed and breakfast, and I was there to interview her for a book I was writing with Peter Brown, the former chief operating officer of Apple Corps, the Beatles’ parent company. I was enamored of Cynthia Lennon from the moment I met her in the fall of 1980. ![]()
