Patti Boyd Interview, George Harrison, Eric Clapton video

Biography: Patricia Anne "Pattie" Boyd (born 17 March 1944) is an English model and photographer who is best known as the wife of first George Harrison and then Eric Clapton. She served as inspiration for several monumental rock love songs written by both musicians. Born in Taunton, Somerset, Boyd was a model during the 1960s. She was known to frequent trendy clubs as well as the company of the era-defining designers Mary Quant and Ossie Clark. She was photographed by popular fashion photographers of the day, such as David Bailey and Terence Donovan, and appeared on covers of magazines, including the UK and Italian editions of Vogue. After she became the girlfriend of Harrison, her stature increased as she was asked by Gloria Stavers to write a regular column for 16 Magazine. After their meeting on the set of A Hard Day's Night, Boyd married George Harrison on January 21, 1966, in the midst of the heyday of his group, The Beatles. Harrison's friend Eric Clapton, first of The Yardbirds, then of Cream, also fell in love with her. Pattie went on to divorce Harrison on June 9, 1977, and later married Clapton on March 27, 1979. She and Clapton divorced in June 1988. Pattie speaks with Shadoe from London.
