![Pictured are George Harrison and Freda at the Beatles Fan Club screening of Magical Mystery Tour on December 17, 1967 (bottom right of the first slide), plus screenshots from the documentary Good Ol’ Freda (of personalized autographs from each Beatle to Freda).
“Before they moved to London, I wanted to get their autographs. So George was in [the office] this day, and I had like autograph book upon autograph book for him to sign, and mine — I slipped mine in the middle. So he’s signing them, and I’m saying, you know, ‘That’s to Rita, that’s to Barbara’ […] and it gets to mine, and, ‘Who’s this to?’
And I said, ‘Well, just — just sign that,’ because I just wanted it out of the way. And he went, ‘Well, no, who’s it to?’ And I think it was because I was going, ‘It doesn’t matter, just sign this.’ I remember saying to him, ‘Just sign the book, just sign the book!’ And he flipped it to the front, and he went, ‘It’s yours!’ And I went, ‘Yeah, I haven’t got your autograph, I just want your autograph before you go to London.’
So he signed it, and he pocketed it. He took it. And I went, ‘What are you doing with my book?’ And he went, ‘I’ll get the others for you.’ And then next time he came in, he just threw it on the table and he went, ‘There you go.’ And they’d all put little comments.” - Freda Kelly, Good Ol’ Freda’](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwvlozdzepfmosiy5mbsc6pe/bafkreicw2duimoyjla6l7zvbfyucq3mxqpuypgzge6shixab2seb6lwbpa)

“The How I Won the War premiere after party was quite fun because, God, I was so drunk. I was 22, and because it was a premiere, I was all dolled up and thought I was the bee’s knees. […] I’m not very good with makeup, so I bought false eyelashes and put them on. You always forget, and I’m always rubbing my eyes, so I’m dancing with George, and he’s oiled up more than I am, and he’s holding me up and says, ‘You’ve got a spider on your face!’ And I go, ‘What are you talking about? Oh, it’s me eyelash!’ [laughs]” - Freda Kelly, The Daily Beast (March 14, 2013)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwvlozdzepfmosiy5mbsc6pe/bafkreidvichlsxqlujvxmmhzr4kkhq4s7jqnfey2jvjqq4gef7t25i3qgi)

Ryan White, director [of the highly recommended documentary, Good Ol’ Freda]: “George [Harrison] is Freda’s favorite Beatle too. She would never admit it, but from years of being around her, that’s what I think.”
[Freda laughs and shrugs, but her lips are sealed]
Q: “I liked your observation in the film that George wasn’t necessarily the quiet one.”
Freda Kelly: “He wasn’t quiet with any of us in — I hate that word, ‘The Inner Circle.’ But with us, he was his most natural self. I don’t think he liked Beatlemania.” - Film School Rejects, SXSW 2013 (March 2013)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hwvlozdzepfmosiy5mbsc6pe/bafkreicajpkhjj5m5g33mbzzkqltvut6nqhgstrxeyolrlzzhvjhowozfi)
