Kelly, one of the?Beatles' longest-serving employees, worked for the band for more than a decade - longer than the British band was together - but has never shared her stories publicly until now.

She breaks her silence in a new documentary, "Good Ol' Freda," to have its world premiere on Saturday on the second day of the South by Southwest Film Festival in?Austin,?Texas.

"It's such a classic Cinderella story: Girl picks the job of a lifetime," director?Ryan White?told Reuters.

The tale is sure to delight?Beatles?fans, but White seeks to tell a story that transcends that audience, a story about an amazing decade in an otherwise ordinary life.
