About Pam Pollack
"Polythene Pam" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1969 album Abbey Road, the fourth piece in the album's climactic medley. It is a brief, brisk character sketch of a woman from the North who, dressed in a bag made of polythene, roams the streets at night and earns coverage in the tabloid paper News of the World. John Lennon wrote it during the group's 1968 sojourn in India. While a third source has been proposed, Lennon moulded the character of Polythene Pam from two women he knew personally. The first is "Polythene" Pat Dawson, an early Beatles fan so named for her appetite for the plastic; the second is Royston Ellis' girlfriend Stephanie, who spent a night in bed with Ellis and Lennon clad in a polythene bag.
