Chauffeur to the Beatles Dies at 75 Mar 11, 9:50 AM EST Alf Bicknell, chauffeur to the Beatles at the height of their fame and inspiration for the song, "Drive My Car," has died at the age of 75, the band's former promoter said He retired from driving in 1980 after injuring his right arm and made a new career talking about his experiences â€â€? but refused all financial offers to "dish the dirt " "He was with them for four years including when they met Elvis (Presley) in 1965," he said For a time after leaving the Beatles, he drove the New Christy Minstrels in the United States " At first, he drove the band in an Austin Princess with blacked-out windows; later, the group traveled in Lennon's Rolls Royce Phantom V Anyone who was beaten up by Imelda Marcos's bully squad is a friend of mine," a reference to the rough handling the band had while touring the Philippines "Alf often recalled with pride how Elvis called him 'sir' during that meeting " However, Bricknell stayed with the Beatles until they decided to stop touring in 1966 Let's just say he was upset " In his autobiography, written with Garry Marshall, Bicknell said he became very close to the band He described how John Lennon once stole his chauffeur's hat and flung it out of the band's car with the words, "You don't need that anymore Alf, you are one of us now The first time he drove the group, Bicknell recalled, "Every time I stopped at a traffic light I felt conscious of all the eyes peering in Between sets of traffic lights, I'm getting faster and faster, and I pull up a bit quick outside this block of flats at one point and Bang! George (Harrison), who's sitting on the occasional seat, hits his head on the partition A few choice words were said I thought, well, that's it â€â€? the shortest job that's ever happened to Alf In a testimonial, Harrison wrote, "Alf Bicknell lived moment to moment with the Beatles through those years The cause of death was not given Bicknell spent most of his career as a chauffeur, although he did a stint as an apprentice butcher and once worked as a circus clown Leach said the chauffeur started working for the Beatles in 1964 during the filming of "Help Sam Leach said Bicknell died at his home in Oxford on Tuesday " Builders will tear down the second floor Together, Monet and Clemenceau chose the airy Orangerie as the site for the gallery The Louvre had 5 On the building's upper window ledges, workers smash out panes of glass and toss wooden planks into a trash bin The square stone structure once sheltered the garden's delicate orange trees in the winter Now, the Orangerie Museum is getting a major overhaul In the two water lilies rooms, treated-glass roof panes and a conical shade poised overhead will protect the paintings from direct sun while letting in the pale northern light that was Monet's inspiration The water lilies panels, built into the walls, couldn't travel with the rest of the collection These days, the Orangerie's corner of the tranquil garden is a bustling work site Museum With Monet Paintings Gets Facelift Jan 24, 8:33 AM EST PARIS (AP) â€â€? It was originally meant to be a sort of indoor garden, an oasis in a big city When the gallery reopens, museum officials hope it will once again live up to Monet's vision: "a tranquil asylum for peaceful meditation To make room for a major donation of paintings, architects added on a second floor by cutting the space in two horizontally with a concrete slab Monet painted hundreds of works of water lilies; eight of the most famous are housed in the Orangerie Near the end of the war, Monet wrote his friend Georges Clemenceau, the French prime minister, and told him he was close to finishing a few water lilies paintings that he would sign the day the Allies announced victory 7 million visitors last year; in 1998, the more intimate Orangerie had slightly more than 503,000 "Monet's donation of the water lilies to France remains one of the great moments of French cultural history," Georgel said The museum has been closed since January 2000, with most of its paintings on a tour from Tokyo to Fort Worth, Texas, to Sydney, Australia New doors will let people stroll straight into the water lilies rooms from the Tuileries Gardens, with its shady gravel pathways and a pool where children float sailboats The new $25 million renovation will undo some of the damage from the initial one The small-scale museum, despite its faults, seemed accessible compared to the capital's other museums, like the cavernous Louvre, home to the Mona Lisa and Winged Victory Before Monet's time, artists generally did sketches outside, but saved the difficult work of painting for the studio A glass roof will let the light in "The heart of this project was to find a way to bring the water lilies back into natural light," Olivier Brochet, the architect behind the project, told journalists Thursday When work is finished in fall 2004, the museum will show off the paintings the way Monet wanted them to be seen: under skylights, their watery blue-green hues changing color slightly as the sun shifts overhead When the renovation is finished, the Orangerie will pay tribute to Monet's love of light by turning it back into a greenhouse â€â€? the building's original use Capturing natural light was the Impressionist painter's lifelong obsession For the last three decades of his life, Monet's main subject was his front yard in the small French town of Giverny, with its lily-filled pond, Japanese bridge and weeping willows " The paintings were Monet's soothing gift to a "traumatized France," said Pierre Georgel, the museum's curator He died in 1926, a year before the gallery opened Today, the rooms are a dusty work site, and the paintings are hidden behind protective wooden cages To make room for other paintings in the museum's collection, including works by Paul Cezanne and Pablo Picasso, they'll dig new rooms underneath the gardens He painted his subjects at all times of day, from dawn to nightfall, helping popularize the art of painting in open air The gallery became one of the pilgrimage sites for Impressionist painting â€â€? French painter Andre Masson praised it in a widely cited 1952 article as the "Sistine Chapel of Impressionism The drab setting didn't keep visitors away " But a brutal renovation of the building in the 1960s deprived the lilies of their life force During the World War I, the building was used to store equipment and house soldiers When the exhibit opened in 1927, the building still had a greenhouse ceiling, and it was filled with sunshine Instead, the Paris museum gallery that held eight of Claude Monet's shimmering "water lilies" paintings was drab and sunless, with a low ceiling Monet didn't live to see his exhibit open in the Orangerie |
