Pattie Boyd is an English model, photographer, and author, best known for her associations with two iconic musicians of the 1960s and 1970s: George Harrison of The Beatles and Eric Clapton. She was born on March 17, 1944, in Taunton, Somerset, England.

Pattie Boyd first gained public attention as a model during the 1960s. She met George Harrison on the set of the film "A Hard Day's Night" in 1964, and the two were married in 1966. Boyd's influence is said to have inspired some of Harrison's songs, including "Something" and "I Need You."

After her marriage to George Harrison ended in 1977, Pattie Boyd married Eric Clapton in 1979. Clapton had famously declared his love for her in the song "Layla." Boyd's relationship with Clapton is also documented in songs like "Wonderful Tonight."

In addition to her modeling career and marriages to two legendary musicians, Pattie Boyd pursued a career as a photographer and published her memoir, "Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me," in 2007. The book provides insights into her life and experiences during those influential years in the music scene.
