Cynthia Powell met John Lennon when they were both art students, and he was a struggling musician. The two married in 1962, just weeks before the Beatles recorded their first single, “Love Me Do.” They had one son together, Julian. She wrote on the last page of her memoir, John: “If I’d known as a teenager what falling for John Lennon would lead to, I would have turned ’round right then and walked away.” She died at the age of 75, and you can hear her interview with Leonard from December of 2005.
