After February 9, 1964, everyone wanted to be Debbie Gendler. She was one of a handful of lucky fans who were in the live audience for the Beatles' historic performance on the Ed Sullivan Show. Everyone has a story about where they were when they watched the appearance, but very few were there in-person—and even fewer would go on not just to meet the Beatles, but end up building a career around the band. But Debbie did.
This is the story of a New Jersey teenager who managed to accomplish what millions only dreamed about. Prior to the Beatles arrival in America, Gendler met with the group's manager regarding the establishment of a U.S. fan club. At the start of the Beatles' 1965 summer tour, she was the only teen to welcome them to America, and after their press conference at the Warwick Hotel, she finally met them.
Debbie recounts her unique and sometimes wacky experiences having witnessed first-hand some of the most historic events in pop culture. Organizing fans to sleep on Broadway to purchase tickets, representing the official fan club on television, and promoting the Ringo for President novelty record are just some of the requests she fulfilled as one of the band's leading ambassadors. This coming-of-age tale details the journey of a devoted Beatles fan against the backdrop of the 1960s and a shifting cultural landscape.
