Worked for The Beatles at Apple,
George & Pattie's Assistant,
George wrote Miss O'Dell about Chris

CHRIS O'DELL moved to England from California to try to get a job at Apple in 1968. She ended up there for a few years and got to know and work with The Beatles doing all sorts of jobs for them. Later on, she lived at George’s Friar Park home as an assistant to George and Pattie. Her book Miss O’Dell, is the ultimate fly-on-the-wall memoir. The book is named after the song that George wrote about Chris (the B-side to Give Me Love). It is packed with revelations, intimate insights and history making moments. Chris was in the studio at times during the White Album and Abbey Road sessions and sings in the chorus on Hey Jude. She became one of the first female tour managers, worked on the Bangla Desh concerts, and was a bridesmaid at Eric Clapton and Pattie’s wedding. She is still very close with Pattie, our guest in 2008. Chris also was The Rolling Stones' personal assistant in their 1972 tour. We welcome Miss O'Dell to her first CHICAGO FEST as she joins us all three days.
