NEW YORK, August 14.
Beatle Paul McCartney will marry an 18-year-old British actress Jane Asher, a spokesman for the pop-singing group said today, the Associated Press reported. The Beatles’ press relations officer, Tony Barrow, who is travelling with the group on their current tour of the United States and Canada, announced the planned wedding during a rehearsal break today. He said McCartney told a London newspaper reporter last June that he planned to marry Miss Asher. No wedding date was announced.
Miss Asher is the daughter of a London physician. In London, Miss Asher was quoted today as confirming they planned to marry.
Jane has figured for many months in press photographs and stories as the 23-year-old song-
Paul and George Harrison are the only bachelor Beatles. John Lennon is married and has a daughter, and the drummer, Ringo Starr married earlier this year and will become a father soon.
