MAY FUNG YEE PANG : MISTRESS OF EX-BEATLE JOHN LENNON was MISTRESS OF THE MONTH in APRIL 2012 here at Mistress Manifesto BlogSpot. Here is an update on May's latest, a film called "The Lost Weekend" about her relationship with John.
A year and a half plus love affair is not a "Lost Weekend" but that's what May Fung Yee Pang's relationship with then ex-Beatle, John Lennon, has been called. May was about a decade younger than John Lennon and 17 years younger than Yoko Ono, who encouraged the relationship, one in which she would not loose control.
VARIETY :Review: May Pang Tells Her Story, and a Piece of John Lennon’s, in a Compelling Documentary This article linked has an 8 minute recording
Excerpt: In the photos that we saw at the time of her and John, she always had a waifish beauty, and a certain mystery behind those tinted hexagon glasses. But in "The Lost Weekend," we see that May Pang was a tough ambitious city girl, who spoke with a slight but blunt New York accent, and that after dropping our of college she had the chutzpah to talk her way into a job at the Apple Records offices on Broadway. She was a schmoozer, and when she began to work for John and Yoko, doing every makeshift task available - avant-garde film production assistant, costume designer - she had an ebullient smile and an easy-to-be-with vivacity. She was fun but circumspect (she didn't drink or do drugs.)
Excellent review worth your time reading and so, though I haven't seen it yet, apparently a well done and revealing documentary.
This clip is not from the film but a fairly recent interview. May is about 70 years old now.
