I've just read that the young girl, Melanie Coe, who won a prize to meet Paul on the show, was later the subject of this newspaper story: MelanieCoe, the schoolgirl who seemed to have everything, spent yesterday searching for her in London and Brighton. Melanie had her own car, an Austin 1100. It was left unlocked outside her home when she vanished. She had a wardrobe full of clothes. She took only what she was wearing – a cinnamon trouser suit and black patent leather shoes. She left her chequebook and drew no money from her account. Melanie, who has blonde hair and is 5ft 1inch tall, was studying for her A-level examinations. She planned to go to university or drama school. ‘I cannot imagine why she should run away,’ her father told reporters. ‘She has everything here. She is very keen on clothes, but she left them all, even her fur coat.’ Paul read the story, without realising that Melanie was the very same girl he had picked to win a prize over three years before, was inspired to write ‘She’s Leaving Home’. There are numerous fascinating anecdotes in One Two Three Four: The Beatles in Time: : The Laugh Out Loud True Story of the World’s Most Popular Band by Craig Brown. When I've finished the book I'll post a review.
