John Lennon's hair sells for $48,000

If you thought the Beatles were so Yesterday, think again. A lock of hair from the late John Lennon sold for an incredible $48,000 at an auction held Wednesday at Gorringes in Worthington. The lock of hair, along with an autographed copy of Lennon's book A Spaniard in the Works, was part of the collection of Betty Glasow, hairdresser to The Beatles during the 1960's filming of A Hard Day's Night and Help.

Also sold at the auction were signed Beatles photographs, including one dedicated to Glasow and signed "George "Dandruff" Harrison" that went for $13,000.

So, what motivated Glasow to part with her treasures after all these years? She says that rather than have these items languishing in a drawer somewhere, she wanted fans to have the opportunity to enjoy them.
