May Pang on her 'Lost Weekend' with John Lennon that never really ended: 'I don’t have closure'
"It wasn't a lost weekend. It’s a love story. And that's where I’m changing that narrative," says Pang of her new documentary, which chronicles her arranged affair with the former Beatle.

Pang, who’d been a Beatles fanatic as a child (although, ironically, Ringo Starr had been her favorite Fab), was only 19 — a decade younger than Lennon, and 17 years younger than Lennon’s soon-to-be-estranged wife, Yoko Ono — when she began working for the couple. And she was only 22 years old when Ono allegedly came to her with an indecent proposal. By Pang’s account in the film, “Yoko walked into my office and said, ‘John and I are not getting along, and I know he's going to start seeing other people. And I want you to go out with him, as I think he needs someone nice like you.’”
