Freda Kelly
(born 14 July 1945) was the secretary to
Brian Epstein
and the English rock band
the Beatles
from 1962 through 1972, and president of the group's official
fan club
. Kelly worked with the band as it rose from local popularity to world-wide fame, and through its dissolution. A 2013 documentary,
Good Ol' Freda
, chronicled Kelly's ten-plus year association with the group and its members.
When Brian Epstein undertook the management of the group at the beginning of 1962, he asked Kelly ? already a familiar face to Epstein and the band ? if she wanted a job as his secretary.

Kelly, who was seventeen years old at the time, took the job against her father's advice.
One of her first tasks was organization of a Beatles Fan Club. Unwisely, she supplied her home address as the club's mailing address, and her house was inundated with hundreds of letters every day. Later she changed the official address to that of Epstein's office. Kelly was responsible for responding to fans? letters, often staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning to do so. She also oversaw publication of a monthly fan club magazine.

After Epstein's death in 1967, Kelly continued to work for the Beatles. She married and became a mother, but officially ended her work for the group only in 1972, and even then continued to respond to fan club mail for three years thereafter.
