And McCartney, the composer of some of the rock era's most beautiful love songs, has consistently told interviewers that all his romantic ballads written after 1968 were about Linda. She was born Linda Louise Eastman on Sept. 24, 1941, and grew up in Scarsdale, N.Y. As she often pointed out, without ever dispelling the assertion entirely, she was not related to the Eastmans of the Eastman-Kodak photography empire. Her father had changed his name from Epstein.

Linda Eastman attended Sarah Lawrence College and the University of Arizona. As a student, she married Bob See, with whom she had a daughter, Heather. That marriage ended in 1963. Soon afterward, she took up photography, and in 1965 she returned to New York, where she began photographing rock groups, starting with the Dave Clark Five and the Rolling Stones. A widely reproduced picture of the Beatles that she took at a press party for the release of Sgt.

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967 captured the group on the eve of its greatest artistic triumph. Her photographs appeared in Rolling Stone and other rock magazines, and in 1992 she published several hundred of them as a book, Linda McCartney's Sixties: Portrait of an Era. She met her future husband while photographing the Beatles in London in 1967, and the pair carried on an occasional romance for more than a year. In September 1968, McCartney asked her to move to London, from which point they became inseparable. In addition to McCartney and the daughter from her first marriage, Linda McCartney is survived by three children from her marriage with McCartney: Mary, Stella and James.

(Marilyn) Pfotenhauer, Michael Pfotenhauer, and Mary Jo (Dennis) Lewis; husband post-Beatles bands, Wings and the unnamed ensemble with which McCartney toured in 1989 and 1993. She was a staunch campaigner for animal rights and vegetarianism and, starting in the late 1980s, she turned her passion for vegetarian cooking into an industry.

She published a cookbook, Linda McCartney's Home Cooking, in 1989, and in 1991 started a line of frozen vegetarian dinners. As the wife of a musician who had long been a teen-age heartthrob and was the last Beatle to be married, Linda McCartney first attracted the ire of her husband's fans, and eventually the respect of many of them. The McCartneys were married in London on March 11, 1969. Later, when she toured with McCartney, she took considerable criticism for her modest keyboard and vocal technique. But the McCartneys' 28-year marriage was uncommonly steady by the standards of the celebrity world of which they were a part but from which they generally remained aloof, living on a farm in West Sussex, England.
