The Beatle Birds at Battersea

In March 1964, a special edition magazine titled "Beatles Make A Movie" was published in order to promote the release of The Bealtes' first film "A Hard Day's Night". Included within the magazine was an article about the three girls who were given a chance to make an appearance in the film with their four Liverpudlian idols. These girls were Pattie Boyd, Isla Blair and Pure Bury. Accompanying the article was a series of photographs taken of the delighted dolly-birds at the Battersea Fun Fair. 

Isla Blair, Prue Bury and Pattie Boyd



I would have absolutely loved to have spent the day with these three fab girls. It looks like it would have been a really fun photo shoot to do. 

If you are a Pattie fan like me, then I am quite certain that you would have seen the following images before. These were taken the same day by photographer Michael Ward.


And lastly a beautiful colour image.

Pattie looks stunning here. When I at last find a similar dress to what she wore during this photo shoot I am hoping to do my own replicating these photos.

On a different note, what do you think of this picture of Jane Birkin? 
Quite similar to this shoot of Pattie. Knee high socks, kitten heels and a park bench?
Coincidence?

  3. Such cute pictures! I saw your previous post as well and you look just like an actress/model from the sixties!
    I think there's something wrong with GFC (google friend connect) as it disappears on some blogs but I promise will come back to make sure I can click on yours ;)
