Once personal assistant to John Lennon who then assisted him more personally than his wife,\u00a0<strong>Yoko Ono<\/strong>. She became John\u2019s lover. Friday, Tribeca Film Festival screens her documentary.<\/p>\n<p>Born 1950, married, divorced, in the music industry, now with long blue hair, she said: \u201c1973, Yoko told me: \u2018I\u2019m going to leave him. You should know John\u2019s interested in you.\u2019 I wasn\u2019t interested. I was scared. Also, next day she\u2019d forget. Things came and went with Yoko.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEventually he and I moved into East 52nd Street together and she kept the Dakota\u2019s 11 rooms. Previously they\u2019d lived bohemian style, tiny basement apartment in the Village. He says the two of us bonded on our mutual love of music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe went to LA together. You start knowing someone superficially. Then I fell in love with him. She kept calling, though she said in \u201974 she wanted a divorce \u2014 it was her third marriage \u2014 and he\u2019d said \u2018I\u2019ll be a free man in six months.\u2019 I was the only one honest with him but she wanted me, and him, away. So, for a while, we didn\u2019t see one another. Then one day he called from Cape Town and we were on the phone 1 1\/2 hours. She didn\u2019t call me ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYoko, chain smoker, 7 1\/2 years older than he, understood his needs. But he and I, together 18 months, our life was different. All musicians. George Harrison said, \u2018I\u2019m glad she\u2019s with you.\u2019\u00a0<strong>Keith Richards<\/strong>\u00a0said, \u2018This is the John I used to see.\u2019 I made him accessible to friends. We\u2019d go swimming, do Disneyland, take walks together without his entourage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast I saw him was \u201978. He had a will done in \u201979 and was gone in 1980. I can\u2019t forget \u2014 but you have to let it go. You can only try to live in the moment. I\u2019ve attempted to reach out to Yoko but it didn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"742\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/GettyImages-97963042.jpg?w=742\" alt=\"John Lennon and May Pang\" class=\"wp-image-22569630\"\/><figcaption>May Pang was John Lennon\u2019s assistant turned lover.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIn 2000 we accidentally met, both having breakfast in the same hotel in Reykjavik.
