“Eleanor Rigby” was the title of a famous song by the English rock band the Beatles in 1966.
Paul McCartney said the name Eleanor Rigby was not his inspiration for the song. Her name was actually Daisy Hawkins. She was an old lady who lived alone, and McCartney would spend time with her. He said listening to her stories inspired his songwriting.
He may have chosen to use the name Eleanor due to the actress who starred in the 1965 Beatle’s film entitled Help. Her name was Eleanor Bron.
