Nancy Shevell beamed for hundreds of cameras in London's Leicester Square, a green silk jacket on one arm and Paul McCartney on the other.

The 49-year-old trucking heiress dazzled on the red carpet at a movie premiere with the ex-Beatle, her boyfriend of 18 months. Two days later, Shevell hid from cameras recording a New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) meeting where she voted to raise subway fares 25 percent. Few who have seen Shevell photographed with McCartney in Israel, Antigua and at the Grammy Awards know of her other life as an executive at a New Jersey trucking company and member of the nation's largest mass transit agency.
