Beatles Myth Busted!

Admittedly, calling this a Beatles Myth is probably a stretch since it's a myth about Paul's late wife Linda McCartney.  I'm posting it here because I've heard it stated as fact a so many times and I wanted to clear up the confusion: Linda Eastman McCartney was not an Eastman from Eastman-Kodak. I completely understand how the rumor spread.  Linda was a professional photographer and her last name was Eastman.  Those two facts are enough to keep this myth circulating.  Her family was originally Epstein, but she was also not related to Beatles' manager Brian Epstein.  Her grandfather changed the name from Epstein to Eastman when he immigrated from Russia to the United States.
