  Linda McCartney - Biography - AOL Music
Linda's marriage to Paul, the last remaining bachelor among the Fab Four, caused a major media furor -- as a divorcée and single mother (she was briefly married during the late 1950s), she was the subject of considerable criticism from moral watchdogs and Beatles fans alike.
McCartney was more successful outside of music, earning respect as a high-profile force for animal rights; a staunch vegetarian, she published a series of best-selling cookbooks (1989's Home Cooking and 1995's Linda's Kitchen among them) and also created her own highly profitable line of frozen vegetarian meals produced at ecologically-sensitive factories.
In 1995 McCartney was diagnosed with breast cancer, and on April 17, 1998 the disease took her life at the age of 56; a collection of solo recordings, Wide Prairie, was issued posthumously later that same year.
