QE2? If there is a diary, etc? ---

Apparently QE2 kept a daily diary (6 inches a day) for something like 50 years. The person talking about it (some Brit …can’t remember who) said it’ll probably not be unsealed – if ever – for another 50 years. ---

Most of the older actors have already written memoirs. I can think of two that would be fascinating: Tim Curry and Mick Jagger. (As far as I know, there are no official memoirs, though plenty of anecdotes and articles about both.) Mick Jagger once said he wouldn’t be able to write an autobiography because he couldn’t remember much of his past! But if Keith Richards could… ---

> [@salinqmind1](#): > > Mick Jagger once said he wouldn’t be able to write an autobiography because he couldn’t remember much of his past! That reminds of what pro wrestler Michael “P.S.” Hayes-- a member of The Freebirds tag team said during his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame---- “People say I have a great Hall of Fame-worthy career–it’s too bad I can’t remember any of it.” And back to the original question I would love to see a memoir written by WWE owner Vince K mcMahon. ---

As someone with a shelf full of Beatle biographies, I’d be kinda curious to read Ringo’s memoirs… but I’d be more interested in Jane Asher’s. > **[Jane Asher | Personal life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Asher#Personal_life)** > > On 18 April 1963, the 17-year-old Asher interviewed the Beatles at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and began a five-year relationship with Paul McCartney. In December 1963, McCartney took up residence at Asher's family Wimpole Street town house and stayed there until the couple moved into McCartney's own home located in St John's Wood in 1966. McCartney wrote several Beatles songs inspired by her, including "And I Love Her", "You Won't See Me", "I'm Looking Through You", "What You’re Doing", On ...
