The only reason why she dumped Paul is because she caught Paul in bed with
Francie Schwartz, not because of relationship problems really... They decided
to get engaged despite their differences and problems, so they must have really
loved each other.
A lot has come out since this post. According to Alastair Taylor, who witnessed Paul's emotional breakdown, Paul and Jane loved each other "deeply and passionately." Jane caught Paul with another woman and that ended it "then and there."

Pauls latest biography goes into the Jane Asher period in some detail, he lived
in her families home, and they were apart as often as they were together; they
had an open relationship, and demanding show business careers that kept them
apart from each other a great deal. Probably both were somewhat reluctant
becoming more involved due to their mutual respect for each others careers.
Sometimes their relationship resembled more of one of brother and sister than
lovers. Asher and her family helped Paul be in with an in Crowd he may not
have otherwise had met, despite his fame, with them acting as sort of a conduit
from the music world to theater and film world.
If you want to find what you can still see of Jane Ashers work, try the
internet movie database (IMDB)
It's not true. Jane was deeply and passionately in love with Paul, as he was with her. They did not have an open relationship. That is just PR trying to cover the fact that Jane caught him in bed with another woman. It's all come out since this post. Jane does not want to be associated with Paul or anything Beatles. She has not done one interview and she never spoke with Hunter Davis either, which he admits to now by trying to protect the Beatles image. I truly wish that Jane's name would be stricken from their history, as she clearly wants. As Taylor said, "Jane was too good for Paul." That's all that needs to be written.

Where'd you get that bit about brother and sister- I've never read >anything
that remotely hints at that?
What I mean by that is they seemed extremely distant as lovers; in some ways it
may as well have been a brother and sister arrangement- sometimes Paul saw
Janes parents more than he saw Jane herself. Not that brother and sisters ever
make the beast with two backs in normal circumstances, its just that the Asher
affair was considerably distant in many ways, they simply were not in the same
place at the same time due to conflicting careers.
And true, everybody could have had their status raised by association with a
Beatle at that time, but Jane brought as much or more to Paul through her
familys pre-existing associations, which had been connected to theater in some
level for some years in comparison to Pauls relatively new fame from nowhere.
Read that latest Paul biography and you'll get an idea of exactly how 'close'
he was with Jane Asher, and who he met through his association with her.
Read some of PM's song lyrics post Beatles. Your entire lack of information will change very quickly, trust me. Oh, and do not forget Linda's song "Endless Days" released the year she died, which is mocking Paul's hope that a past love will call him (he wrote all kinds of songs about begging/hoping for that call!). It's interesting.

Paul was in love with Jane and they were lovers. They lived together for five years. They were engaged to be married and would have been had Jane not caught him in bed with Francie S. Paul tried to control Jane but she was smart and strong-"principled". It was Paul's cheating which broke them up, not Jane's career. It was Jane who introduced Paul to art, plays, fine foods, and classical music. In fact, you can see Jane's great influence on Paul today, as he has released several classical albums and dabbles in art. You need to remember that Paul is a huge PR guy -his marriage was PR. And, he will tell a biographer anything he wants him to write, as long as it makes him look good. She was young and in love, so no one can blame her for breaking it off and moving on. I am glad she found happiness having both worlds!

The songs Paul wrote for Jane: "I Will", "Honey Pie", "And I love
her", "Here There And Everywhere" and "Oh! Darling". He inspired other
songs like "She's A Woman", "All My Loving", "For No One", "Things We
Said Today", "I've Just Seen A Face" and "You Won't See Me", among
others

I think The Long and Winding Road was about her in some way too. Paul's
sad songs, Let It Be and The Long and Winding Road from about late 68.
That might be in the Alastair Taylor book. She seems as if she was a
bit of a b.

I hear you except that, judging from e.g., Cynthia Lennon's account, Paul believed he had seriously scored and moved up socially in being involved with Jane Asher.

Yes, it served his ambitious agenda, with the purely
romance side of it not a significant concern. Cynical
maybe, but I'm glad that he was hungry for the band to
climb ever higher. Imagine if JL was the one being
counted on to impress and enthuse at every opportunity.
"Aw we're just a Rock band, nothing important". lol

It strikes me that, just as McCartney had made professionally with the Beatles, he felt he had made it socially through his involvement with Jane Asher and being accepted by her cultured, talented family.


Cynthia Lennon witnessed this firsthand, and talked about how Paul was "proud as a peacock" of Jane. She felt that McCartney was saying to the other Beatles about their relationships: "Anything you can do, I can do better."

I don't think it's doubtful that Paul wrote all those songs for Jane. I mean, think of all the songs he later wrote for Linda: "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Lovely Linda," "Long Haired Lady," "Two of Us," etc.

Yeah could be yep. I had forgotten the class consciousness
games that a good natured but proud commoner like Paul might have to master to be accepted to blueblood types, even though he was on his way to becoming one of the most
famous persons walking the planet.
Anything I opine on the Paul&Jane dimension of the
mighty mighty Beatles story is just speculation for
the fun of it, using small bits of fact when available.
And in these heady days, I have so much time available
for
endless speculations.

I think he'd have had a conventional marriage w/ Jane Asher if she'd been up for it and not had a career of her own.

After Jane Asher stormed out of McCartney's house, finding him in bed with Francie Schwartz, she sent her mother Margaret to collect her belongings.

My impression from Cynthia Powell's book is that Margaret Asher was a strong personality.

I wonder what sort of words were exchanged between Margaret Asher & Paul.

Of their breakup Ringo said he didn't know why they broke up as they were always together and were lovers. That's enough for me. McCartney hasn't stopped talking about Asher since the day she left him including his insensitive comments on the Howard Stern show. Why does he need to seeing it's none of our business. Not only Alistair Taylor, but Cynthia Lennon amongst others said Paul was heartbroken after their split. That ancient anti-Asher rant by Jamie is nonsense; he invented another fairy tale of his own (before Paul fell head over heels for Heather Mills 13 months after his wife died). A lot of it is Paul talk: he DOES downplay his relationship with Jane. Saying how magical it was when he met Linda at the Bag of Nails in 1967 - if he was so enamoured with her why didn't he dump Jane there and then and take up with Linda? Pftt. Jane was out of the country, they weren't married and there were no children involved. All this shit about Jane being a "blueblood" and upper class. Her mother had connections but her father was a specialist in medicine and his father was a low paid vicar. Nothing blueblood about that. They were an eccentric upper middle class family who provided a warm family atmosphere for Paul. Pity he abused Hotel Asher with his cheating on Jane - they should have thrown him out after 6 months and made him grow up. He wrote the best songs about Jane, no point in denying it.

Paul didn't break up with Jane Asher,Paul was still engaged to marry British actress Jane Asher but in July 1968 Jane came home unexpectedly early from touring with her theatre company and she sadly found Paul in bed with a young groupie writer Francie Schwartz and she ran out of the house and Paul's life forever. They had been lovers since April 1963 just a few weeks after Jane turned 17 and Paul turned 21 two months later and Paul asked her to marry him on Christmas day 1967,so they were engaged for 7 months when Jane found him in their bed with another woman.

It's a real good thing that Linda was there for Paul because he was a total mental wreck after Jane left him, he was drinking hard liquor and crying to Brian Epstein's assistant and friend of Paul's too, Alistair Taylor and came over his house waking him and his wife up at 1 and 2 in the morning, also calling him at these times asking Alistair to come over and he would cry and drink liquor and he also told Alistair that Jane wasn't just his woman,she was his closest friend,interesting that he didn't say John,or even George and Ringo were his closest friends,and he said he opened up everything inside himself to Jane,including about his mother Mary dying when he was only 14 and how he dealt with that and that he couldn't believe what a prat he had been and that he had everything and threw it all away etc

. Paul wrote Let It Be about his beloved nurse and midwife mother Mary who died from breast cancer at only age 47 when Paul was only 14,and his brother 12,and he wrote The Long and Winding Road also soon after Jane left him.

Paul wrote a lot of beautiful love songs for and about Jane including I Will on The White album and she and Paul were engaged since Christmas day 1967 when he wrote in India and she was there with The Beatles and also some bitter arguments songs which were all his fault because he was a sexist selfish pig and kept pressuring her to give up her acting career that she loved and rightly refused, she was in her first British film at age 5 and had been in TV shows,films and theatre since she was a child.


Paul also tried very hard for a while to get Jane to forgive him and take him back and he had met Linda 3 times by then,but Jane returned all of Paul's letters un opened and all of his phone calls were ignored because Jane wanted nothing to do with Paul anymore and she sent this message clearly to him and you can't blame her because she was rightly very hurt,angry,and she had self respect and couldn't forgive or trust Paul anymore.And Linda did what Paul sexistly selfishly pressured Jane to do, give up her career and devote herself to him. I'm sure that Paul would have married Jane Asher because if Jane had taken him back and forgiven him,then they would have been engaged to be married again which is what Paul was trying to accomplish to no avail.

This is a great August 23, 1986 hour long Entertainment This Week and it's online including on Archive.org the interview with Paul by Barbara Howar who asked him rare great questions that most interviewers don't ask, and he came across intelligent, funny, serious and charming. Paul said working with someone as talented as John, and he said and by the way George and Ringo, he said they tend to be left out of this talent thing, but they are highly, highly talented guys.


Barbara said to Paul probably your first great love was Jane Asher and she was a strong yet kind woman too,and Paul turned his head and the look on his face for 2 minutes, it really struck an emotional chord with him and he obviously didn't expect her to bring Jane up.



She asked him what he thought about his Wings music and then he said that at the time he was in Wings he was giving it his 100% but he never felt that it was as great as The Beatles and he said he felt how can I follow The Beatles? But then he also said that he was only now re-listening to his Wings music and discovering a lot of it was pretty good,and Barbara Howar said something like that must have been enough to make you want to hang it up, and Paul said it wasn't too pleasant.She also asked him about how he dealt with John's tragic murder and Paul's numerous drug arrests.

http://triumphpc.com/mersey-beat/beatles/janeasher-paulmccartney.shtml
Also John Lennon said in a 1971 interview that he thought that Paul would have married Jane but he said she wanted to have her career and Paul didn't want that.Ringo also said in The Beatles Anthology book that They all thought that Paul and Jane would get married,he said they were lovers,and they were together and it seemed a natural thing to do.Ringo then said that he didn't know in the end what actually broke them up we'll have to ask him or ask her,that's probably more interesting!

Please ,tell me about Jane Asher .Has she acted in movies?
Tell me everything about her!!
Thanks .
If you can find a copy of Cynthia Lennon's A Twist of Lennon, that's a source I recommend. Cynthia writes about how extremely proud Paul was of her -- and about the effects Jane and her sophisticated family had on Paul and his work.

And interestingly Paul published pictures that he took of Jane Asher during the early part of his relationship with her in both his recent books, in The Lyrics book he actually says when he's discussing his very good song We Can Work It Out, he says how the lyrics were about them possibly breaking up if they didn't work things out ,and he actually says Sadly Jane and I did breakup.

He also has several beautiful black and white portraits that he took of her in his 1964:Eyes Of The Storm book too but sadly they were all taken of her in black and white so you can't see her beautiful natural red hair.

And another very important thing is that Paul didn't have a 5 year steady serious relationship with any other woman,all of the young women groupies don't count, but he also had love affairs with other women during his 5 year relationship with Jane.Paul also didn't write beautiful heartfelt love songs for any of those other women, nor did he give them a beautiful diamond and emerald ( or any gem stone) engagement ring and ask them to marry him!
