On August 28, 1969, just as The Beatles were preparing to close one of the most iconic chapters in music history, Mary McCartney entered the world — the first child of Paul and Linda McCartney. Today, as she turns 56, Paul McCartney marks the occasion with a heartfelt celebration of his daughter’s remarkable journey.
Mary McCartney has never lived in the shadow of her famous surname. Instead, she has built a distinct and powerful legacy of her own. Known as a gifted photographer and filmmaker, she has captured intimate and striking portraits of artists, cultural icons, and her own family, often blending emotion with artistry in a way that feels uniquely hers.
Her acclaimed documentary If These Walls Could Sing (2022), a moving tribute to Abbey Road Studios, showcased not only her directorial eye but also her deep understanding of music’s enduring power.
