Was geraldine Edwards Robert palmers girlfriend and the woman who dated Eric clapton rick springfield roger daltry and others the woman almost famous was written about?

Answer 1

Yes she was. Geraldine Edwards met Cameron Crowe in San Diego, California, in 1975 backstage at the San Diego Sports Arena. At the time Cameron Crowe was interested in being a Sports Writer and was a fan of the San Diego Gulls. Geraldine suggested that he widen his range and interview all types of people, including musicians. He took her advice and found that he actually preferred interviewing musicians. It was written in some articles that Pam DeBarres and Bebe Buell were partial inspirations for the Penny Lane character. That is not correct. Penny Lane was eighteen years old and a San Diegan who was a groupie who hung around the "World Famous San Diego Sports Arena." That was the history of Geraldine Edwards, not DeBarres and Buell. In addition to that, Cameron Crowe cited Geraldine's name as the inspiration for Penny Lane in an 2000 interview.
