Is this news to anyone besides me?

From Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/08/28/long-serving-beatles-secretary-freda-kelly-finally-breaks-her-silence/)
When Freda Kelly, just a shy Liverpool teen, signed on to work for a local
band with big dreams she had no idea she would soon hold the most
coveted secretarial position in the world. While history observes that the
Beatles were together for 10 years, Kelly served them for 11 – managing
the Fab Four’s fan club and handling tasks even after they broke up in
1970. As more than just an employee, Kelly had a front-row seat through
Beatlemania, the rise to stardom, and the ups and downs of one of the
greatest bands in history.

But it is only now, more than five decades since manager Brian Epstein
brought her into the fold as a mild-mannered, sweet and smiling secretary
that “Good ol’ Freda” – as she was affectionately referred to by Paul
McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr – has broken
her silence about life as the Beatles’ go-to girl.
