Sam Granado / Special to DMN Being Paul's daughter has its advantages, and drawbacks.
You might think that, when it comes to picking songs of her dad's that are close to her heart, Paul McCartney's daughter would choose "Yesterday" or "All My Loving" or anything from his days with the Beatles.
But you would be wrong.
Mary McCartney loves her father's music, but her favorites veer more toward the Wings era, especially songs on which her dad and "mum," the late Linda McCartney, can be heard harmonizing.
"That really makes me smile," she says. "When I'm cooking, I put on a Wings album and listen to them singing together. And it's guaranteed to make me smile, every time."
Ms. McCartney, 37, has her father's eyes, smile and hair color, and maybe even more in common with her mom, who carved out her own career as a photographer before being linked to the famous Beatle.
Evidence of her daughter's photographic talent is now on display in an exhibition at Goss Gallery, "Mary McCartney: Playing Dress Up," through June 15.
"Playing Dress Up" features striking images from Mary's work in fashion, including her collaboration with sister Stella, a celebrated designer. Mary is the oldest of Paul and Linda's three children, the youngest being brother James. Mary was named for Paul's mother, who died of breast cancer when he was 14. Breast cancer also claimed the life of Linda McCartney.
