People are also reading… The film chronicles Pang’s life and her relationship with John Lennon, which turned from professional to romantic in 1973 after he and Yoko Ono separated. O’Dell said she first met Pang early in her relationship with Lennon when the couple traveled to Los Angeles to promote his latest solo album, record new songs and collaborate with other musicians, all while lounging at a borrowed beach house.
Her wild ride began at age 19 when she left Tucson in search of adventure. She found her way to L.A. and then to London, where she worked with the Beatles at Apple Records. She was there when the band recorded “Let It Be,” held their famous rooftop concert and then broke up. “He was more easy going. He was more relaxed,” O’Dell said. “May made it that way, no doubt about it.”O’Dell recalled how proud they were to show her around the cozy home they had built together — the terrace overlooking the East River, the room they’d set up for Julian, the new television Lennon was obsessed with.The three of them had dinner at a little restaurant in the neighborhood and then went together to see Harrison perform at Nassau Coliseum.
The Palo Verde High School graduate was in London in January for two weeks of filming, and she already has a distributor lined up. She’s hoping to see the film released before the end of the year.
