Beatles legend Paul McCartney made a lifelong dream come true for a cancer-stricken fan by calling her when she was admitted in the hospital.

McCartney called the terminally ill woman, who had left city government to become a top official at the MTA, to fulfil her life-long dream, reported the New York daily News.

Susan Kupferman and McCartney's wife, former MTA board member Nancy Shevell, were friends.

"I wasn't on the call but I'm telling you, Paul called. He is a great guy," said mayor Bloomberg.

Kupferman, 54, was in the final stages of cancer and died on June 26.
