At the Amsterdam launch of the Loving Awareness album in June 1976 Ronan told her he had George Harrison's support when they played live and released the Love You to Know single. Rumour emerged George had financed the album. Not true, Caroline income covered it. Around the same time George gave Ronan £15,000 to "help out", what he used that money for is unknown
Spent a lot of time on Ronan's project for a film about John F. Kennedy, name was listed as L.Gilbert. Many would think it was well known film director Lewis Gilbert.
June 1977, Returned from a holiday in Ireland, had parted ways with James Ross who she'd lived with for some time . Ronan told her George Harrison had said she and her son Simon could stay at Friar Park where George lived for a break. She didn't wish to. Later realised he thought it would help him get finance for the film.
Spring of 78 Screening for potential investors planned. She said they needed £150,000. Ronan tells her to make it £50,000 as he thinks George will invest that. George and his manager were surprised at that when she met them. They formed Hand Made Films, drew up contracts.
After the screening they invested a first installment. Then met Terry Gillam and decided to invest in the Life of Brian, told Ronan no more money for his film.
