  Astrid Kirchherr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Astrid Kirchherr (born 20 May 1938) is a photographer and artist.
As a leading member of the Exies, she was a close acquaintance of The Beatles during their early career in Hamburg, and invented their moptop haircut.
The bio-pic Backbeat deals with the early years of the Beatles, concentrating mainly on the relationships between Kirchherr, Sutcliffe, and Lennon, with Sheryl Lee playing the role of Kirchherr.

 An interview with Astrid Kirchherr
Astrid was the young German photographer who, accompanying boyfriend Klaus Voormann, happened upon The Beatles in a dingy bar in Hamburg in 1960 and was immediately smitten by Stuart Sutcliffe, the enigmatic fifth Beatle and close friend of John Lennon.
Astrid took many photographs of the boys in their formative steps to stardom and was a strong influence on their 'greaser' image at that stage (an image which Brian Epstein was later to totally eradicate in favour of Saville Row-tailored suits).
Astrid : Well, as far as my childhood was concerned it was wonderful because we were evacuated to the Baltic sea and the only horrible thing I have seen at the time was when the ship "Cap Arcona" and the "Deutschland" were bombed and there were dead people on the shore.

The strongest use of the music and clubs was as a counterpoint to the bizarre art world Astrid brings Stu into (which sometimes veers off into a nearly "Twin Peaks" feel, with Lee wandering around strange people, in strange costumes, doing strange things) is very strong.

In many ways, the focus on Sutcliffe and his subsequent romantic involvement with Astrid Kirchherr is the film's greatest strength, as it allows Softley and his cast to concentrate on telling an interesting story instead of wasting their energies on trying to replicate something as inimitable as the Beatles in their youth.
But perhaps the best feature included on this disc is the audio interview with Astrid Kirchherr, illustrated with clips from the film as well her own photography of Sutcliffe and the Beatles.
Since Kirchherr rarely gives interviews about her involvement with Sutcliffe and the Beatles, this is a very valuable and informative inclusion on this disc.
