- An interview by the legendary Granada presenter Anthony Wilson with Cynthia Lennon. Filmed at her home in the Lake District - around the time of Julian Lennon's Valotte album's release.
Cynthia was a very mature and intelligent woman. She raised a terrific son, mostly on her own.
It seemed to me that she became more beautiful as she aged, inside and out. Rip Cynthia.
Cynthia was, and will always be such a classy lady.
Such a classy, beautiful, lovely woman. John's biggest mistake was leaving Cynthia. She truly loved him and saw John for what he was not for his fame and money
Would you stop, John didn't love Cynthia. He met and fell in love with Yoko Ono. Happens everyday, get over it
What gives you the right to judge other people?
At about the 2.50 mark, she says the same thing. She was going out with somebody else but then she met and fell in love with John
@@guigsy94 going out and MARRIED are two very different things
@@robincoffman6723 that's your opinion, keep it to yourself
Elegant, poised, mature lady. RIP.
Cynthia always held herself with such dignity & grace. Beautiful and thoughtful. It's so heartwrenching at times to listen to the pain and heartache in her voice. The depth of sorrow she and Julian experienced with the death of John is immeasurable.💔
Cynthia is an awesome woman I respect her positive attitude 👏 She outshines Yoko altogether.
Hello Cheryl
how're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Comments like this are priceless
It's nice meeting you here
In fairness, it wouldn't take much to outshine Yoko.....
@@julianlennon08go away, troll
Julian Lennon song Too Late for Goodbyes stands out in my mind and memory Julian Lennon has great vocal talent
She was far more refined, far more beautiful than Yoko.
She was well spoken/eloquent, gorgeous and a great artist.
What a lovely lady.
RIP Cynthia 🌻
A beautiful smart gracious woman
Both wonderful women
Quit judging women by their appearance. The misogynistic rhetoric around Yoko needs to go away.
Who did YOU marry?
to each his own. i thought yoko was more beautiful and exotic. cynthia was beautiful too, but she was not as interesting as yoko, or as educated or intellectual or dynamic or as original. her art work was not really thought provoking but yoko's was always. i get john's choice.
She was such beautiful person. She never stopped loving him and she has a beautiful son.🙏
What an amazing woman! “You have to be true to yourself! “
Rest n peace beautiful, sweet, intelligent lady. A wonderful mother and true first lady of the beatles.
Cynthia was such a beautiful, lovely, classy lady. Rip.
The great Tony Wilson, good questions polite and respectful throughout and thus a great interview.
Both Cynthia and Tony much missed.
cynthia is a very wonderful lady & she is very beautiful,very down to earth& humble like his son julian😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏
It's quite moving to hear in Cynthia's own words that her life was a long and winding road.
So true very moving
A class act and a wonderful mother to Julian.
Wonderful interview, so loving, so smart, so compassionate? Thank you. RIP.
what a wonderful person she was.
Hello Zarni,

Wish you the best in your life and career!

I love Cynthia
Cynthia Lennon very caring and loving woman
I can see what John saw in her, she's great! Yes I agree this lady has a better aura tha Yoko. The problem with becoming famous and rich is it attracts the wrong people!
RIP Cyn. You were a class act.
RIP beautiful soul
If they ever make a movie based on her book, I think Bryony Hannah should portray her. She has the same sweet voice Cynthia has. Also, I absolutely love her interviews. What a beautiful woman. R.i.p. Cynthia.
Her story is undoubtedly the often understated, deeply personal “other side of the coin” of the lightning strike that was John’s life. Equal in its journey through their days together, and ultimately their days apart, never a chance for their stories to come together again.
What a wonderful woman. 😊
Great interview. A Noble Lady - everything is temporary -everything.
Cynthia is an incredible soul! She was very wise and handled her circumstances in an unconditional loving way.
What an absolutely Gorrrrgeous Person She is!!!! 🙏🏼 Thankyou
Hello there,
how're you doing?
Your comment caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Comments like this are priceless thank you
It's nice meeting you here
Was für eine starke Frau sie war.
Hochachtung für so ein Interview,ohne Vorwurfshaltung,nach den ganzen Demütigungen.
A beautiful lady.
Cynthia is so genuine and classy. If only John had stayed with her and Julian, a family that truly loved him, who knows where it would have led.
I really went off John when he left his wife for Yoko, I couldn't understand him, I admire Cynthia for her poise she never sank to Yoko's level
Who did YOU marry?
Me too. John changed completely when he got with Yoko.
Her book, “John” was very insightful. It was sad, melancholy. Cynthia is amazing as a person. She was a woman in love with a man who belonged to the world. She deserved to be bitter, the way he treated her at the end. And that open letter he wrote and had printed verbatim designed to stab her in the heart and publicly humiliate her when she gave an interview to make a little money. He didn’t have to do that to her after everything else. Yoko has made sure Julian has nothing from his father. Julian has had to buy nearly every piece of memorabilia back from auctions. She’s been so vindictive. Why? For what? Jealousy? He grew up without a father because of her.
Cynthia was a threat to Yoko because she still loved John. Yes that witch was very insecure and vindictive. Yoko's husband took their daughter and fled the country so she didn't see her all those years, Yoko made sure that John would not have a relationship with his son, what an evil bitch.
Yoko was controlling, jealous and vindictive! She tried to destroy Julian's career to boot!
Yoko Ohno! Winning friends and influencing people since 1966.
Idk What John ever seen in Yoko
I still don't get why John left such a sweet girl like Cynthia for a nasty ugly troll like Yoko. Rest in peace Cynthia.❤
Cynthia Lennon's book was a very interesting and insightful read - she is very
honest -
Name of the book?
Most likely referring to the book “John”
@@GLD-hopeful ^
the last sentence in the book especially
poignant-@@jongomongobongogongo
@@galepatrick1702 omg, I thought exactly the same! It’s something that’s truly stuck. Something along the lines of, if I’d known as a teenager what loving John would lead to, I would’ve turned right away
I'm glad that Cynthia is so down to earth and like us fan of John Lennon we will always miss him too. She did a beautiful job on raising Julian. May she Rest in Peace 🌹 ❤
I LOVE YOU AND LOVE JULIAN LENNON GREAT YOU'RE ARE GREAT SUPERSTAR 🌹💗💖💔🎸🥁🎶🎶🎼😉
That hit song Julian had still holds up today.
The most decent, warm and loving lady full of grace and British manners. And how gorgeous and her hair and clothes! To die for.
If only John could appreciate what he had. Instead he abandoned this gift and inflict the sorow and pain on his family.
I love her accent
What a beautiful classy lady
It was a different time. People didn't just live together, it was expected you'd marry. I remember an interview with Elizabeth Taylor where she said that she couldn't just date, she had to marry - in those days, especially for women, that's how it was. She's so lovely and intelligent and she's obviously very emotionally intelligent. I can see how people would really like her.
Biggest mistake John made was leaving this wonderful woman for the Japanese golddigger...he may well be still alive if he remained with Cynthia...RIP John and Cynthia.
He would be alive
@@nasdkhan254 past 1980 anyway.
Cynthia was a class act woman
Yep, class in a glass. Very poised and together.
I remember when this happened! Everyone couldn’t believe he left her for and wound up yoko!! Everyone thought he fried his brain on drugs! Cynthia was beautiful!
did yall just notice how the audio goes mute when she talks about yoko? lol, yoko trying to Yoko this video too!
One looks and listens to Cynthia and her beautiful personality and comparing her to Yoko you have to wonder what was John thinking?
It had to have been bc he was on drugs!
Yoko hooked him on Heroin.
MY CONDOLENCES R.I.P. to a beautiful woman 💔💖💖💔💔
Lovely kind and chairing lady RIP Cynthia.
A real lady ! 👏
Jeesh...what was wrong with John honestly?....
John took a lot of drugs, then he found Yoko. Explains everything.
What a lady!
I can't get over how perfectly beautiful her lips were!
What a stunningly beautuful, elegant, classy and intelligent woman she was. Cynthia was far better than Yoko in every way and infinitely more attractive and sexier, too. R.I.P Cynthia Lennon.
What a wise lady
And Cynthia would know the man better than anyone else - fascinating interview with the wife of one of the great musical giants of the 20th century. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks for this upload! 🙌
How could he have left this kind, humble woman for a kook like Yoko, who is the exact opposite!
Who did YOU marry?
@@LoyalOpposition assuming I’m married
Julian is talented in his own right. He's an artist. Sean inherited his mother's talent.
Although Sean seems nice!
I like Sean's music. Guess I'm unrefined.
Does Yoko have talent? I don’t think so
What was Yoko's talent? Stealing husbands?
I agree about Sean. He inherited his mother's gift for making unique, moving music.
if she didnt want to fight fine , but she should have hired good lawyer and let them fight and she shouldve gotten her fair share of the pie for her and her son
In a sense that's what I respect about her the most. She wasn't in it for the money. She was there for love,support, family. I have never seen her speak ill of John as she understood he himself was lost and a drug addict who had no control over himself. No wonder hey Jude mattered so much to them since they had been kicked out of the beatles family and Paul was the only friend who visited and kinda cared. It's beautiful tragic lesson to us
Thankyou so much loved this loved Cynthia xxxx
A wonderful and beautiful woman she was. Very truth and trustworthy
She's so wonderful...
Julian is blessed with talents
If you enjoyed this then you should read Cynthia's book "John." She wrote about her days with JL, Julian, and her life post-divorce. The last paragraph really hits you. It's a great read.
I totally agree; I read the book and it’s very insightful. You come away with an understanding of how she felt being a Beatle wife and the humiliation of John leaving her and Julian behind for yoko.
@@judymarasco4231 Yep, John later admitted he'd been pretty insensitive to a lot of people in his youth. It's a great book and Cynthia seemed very kind. A play about her life has also been done.
Can you give us a glimpse of the last pharagraph pls. I cant find that book in our country
@@bonifaciobonifacia8679 Thanks for your reply to an old comment. To summarise the last paragraph of "John" (by memory) Cynthia said if she could go back in time and not meet JL at all, after all they'd been through, she would. For her it just wasn't worth it. That was the gist of it. It was a hard hitting final paragraph to a great book and if you find a copy I recommend you grab it.
@@drewsale7288 thanks for the reply, how kind of you. Cynthia being in that position, coudnt be more right. She might be thinking of her son julian, growing up with an absentee father. Until now I guess julian feel the effect. He never married.
I just somehow came across Cynthia’s story and so glad I did. What a beautiful soul she was. I had no idea she had passed away. So humble, so well spoken, so down to earth and just so brilliant. Beautiful inside and out. And she could have been bitter but she wasn’t. What a lady. Edit: I just bought her book “John” and can’t stop reading it.
She's the very reason why Julian grew into a humble, grounded and giving man.
Julian took the loss of his mum very hard. She died of cancer. It was a short battle. None of us knew she was ill her passing was announced 8 years ago on April 1st (April fools day), just a week shy of Julian's birthday.
She's an amazing person. I also see the same sadness in her that I see in Julian because of John. I wish things were different. I wish John didn't drift away from her because he wanted a drug buddy (Yoko) and had a chance at healing his absentee relationship with Julian. I know Cyn wanted that badly for her son.
It never was meant to be. Both John's kids got robbed of their father. Julian was robbed three times: Beatlemania, Yoko and Chapman.
Great interview. Very enjoyable. Victor from Australia
Cynthia could have fought for her love ,but she did something bigger she let John go .She was a selfless, sympathetic, and empathic lady .I accept John's relationship to Yoko because of Sean. I say as Cynthia said she is not my cup of tea as persone.😏 Cynthia did a good job raising Julian by herself 👏❤️❤️
Cynthia..a strong,logical, lovely lady
beautiful woman inside and out.. is that a deliberate loss in sound during the 1st yoko mention and the break up.. 🤷♀️
Cynthia got ripped off when she divorced. She obviously had bad legal advice or didn’t take advice.
Had the paperback,twist of lennon.RIP CYNTHIA.ps Whenever Isaw Julian on the telly most times his Mum was there. NICE
The saddest chapter of the Beatles story, Cynthia and Julian. RIP Cynthia.
Simplemente una muyer maravillosa y jenuina. 😄
What a sympathic, wise woman Cynthia was 💖💖💖🙏✨
Such a beautiful person. IMO, John took many steps down with Yoko, but in a sick way, Yoko needed John and John needed Yoko and the clingy needy way
True. Someone to tell him what to do. First it was Brian, then came Yoko and finally John Lennon didn't write songs for 5 years and moved to the US to preach peace.
Who did YOU marry?
Long and Winding Road! Ouch, take that John 😬
❤️ beautiful..
Great interview with Cyn .
(bummer about the 2 audio dropouts)
that was due to copyright issues
@@adrianallan7382 I wonder who objected. It seems she was saying things about Yoko the first time. And then about how close and loving her marriage had been with John for the second one.
Beautiful and sensible answers ❤Wise woman.
Such A Beautiful Well Groomed Woman...Be Blessed Always Beautiful Soul.
I'm So Grateful To Be Born A Scouser.
Princess Park Girl Through & Through. Thankyou Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr For Your Sharing This With Us All. P.s...

Hello Jane,
How're you doing?
Your comments about my mom caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Thank you
It's nice meeting you here 🌹
Omg Cynthia is so way beautiful! With natural class and elegance ! What did John ever see in horrible Yoko .
Cynthia was a lovely person. John didn’t know how lucky he was.
She was too good for him. He didn't deserve her. He took her for granted.
What a lovely lady. Rest in peace 🙏
Love The Tinted Glasses
Classy Look 🕯️
The part where Cynthia was talking about Yoko why on Earth did the sound go out? That was the biggest thing of all that people wanted to hear. *What happened?* What kind of an interview is that when you can't hear the crucial things that Cynthia was saying?
She said what we all knew at that time. Yoko broke the Beatles up. It's amazing the audio dropped. Confirmation it is true.
She’s lovely ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
she was a gem... xxxx
Why is the sound cut towards the end? Happened also in another interview with Cynthia Lennon too.
This usually happens for copyright reasons. If they had left what was probably "The Long and Winding Road" in it, maybe this video would've been taken down.
Super adorável e maravilhosa!!!❤❤❤
"The boring man" Cynthia was going out those days would be devastated to be called so. Poor fellow.
Those were my first thoughts when i heard her say that.
I mean we're all pretty boring compared to John Lennon. So it's not so bad.
@@Jantonov1 You know, John said, I'm in love for the first time, in Don't Let Me Down. How did Cynthia feel to hear that?
Tony Wilson, also part owner of the Haçienda and Factory in Manchester.
Sure class. John was a fool
The best of the Beatles for me was the whole 10 years of them.
John didn t deserve her
Lovely lady. She seems grounded, honest, intelligent and contrary to popular belief, confident in herself. I think that if she would’ve been as boring as some say, she would’ve married her first boyfriend but instead she pursued her studies and dated a rebel because she recognized John’s uniqueness before anyone else. And if John dated her for nearly four years and later married her was because he did love her and also saw something special in her. Sure, he fell in love with Yoko later but that does not mean he never loved Cynthia. May she rest in peace. 💗
Love
The way the interviewer makes derogatory sounds about her divorce, typical msm c u next tuesday. Cynthia is extremely classy and how English ladies are.
I liked Cynthia. She was married four or five times and never took her husbands names she kept the Lennon name.
