According to the nurse who was caring for Mimi, as she was dying her last words were "Hello John."

WOW ! SEVENTEEN POUNDS. THAT'S REALLY QUITE HEAVY FOR A GUITAR. I WONDER WHY JOHN WANTED ONE SO HEAVY ? ITS NOT LIKE HE WAS GOING TO BE PLAYING HEAVY METAL OR ANYTHING !

Listen when the interviewer asks if she likes Yoko... You could hear a pin drop it was so silent LOL

John's Aunt Mimi was a good person. For her to take such good care of John, especially after his mother's tragic death, makes her one of the reasons why John never breaked down from society always being up in his face. She bought him his first guitar, so where would the Beatles, or even just John, have gone without her?

Dios mio, la TIA MIMI, es una gota de agua con JOHN LENNON, me encanta cuando ella sonrie, es el preciso momento cuanto mas se le parece a JOHN.

En esta entrevista del año de 1981, la Tia Mimi, tenia 75 años y como repito cuando ella sonrie se parece muchisimo a John.

Gracias por subir este Video, es muy lindo.

OMG YOU GUYS HAVE TO WATCH NOWHERE BOY???? WOW THE KID WHO PLAYS JOHN, KRISTEN SCOTT THOMAS AS MIMI ARE DEAD ON!!!! THE MOM (JULIA) IS GOOD TOO

[AnthonydWalsh]

From what i've heard in George Harrison interviews & books about the Beatles, this was not a pleasant lady e.g. a snob, was happy to put people down & was quite nasty to people. Read "Here Come the Sun" by J. Greene.

@drees71 It's so sad, hearing her talk about John. I miss him so much. He was clearly my hero, warts and all. Not worship, but admiration fro his songwriting genius, his way with words, his courage in standing up to the "powers that be." That wonderful, Irish defiance of authority. He was one of a kind in every sense of the phrase. Unique. Massively talented. I wish this was longer, I'd love to listen to her for hours.
