Patricia Anne Boyd (born 17 March 1944) is an English model and photographer. She was one of the leading international models during the Sixties and, with Jean Shrimpton, epitomised the British female look of the era. She married George Harrison in 1966 and experienced the height of the Beatles' popularity as well as sharing in their embrace of mysticism. Even so, she wasn't especially enamoured by the Beatles' music. She divorced Harrison in 1977 and married his friend Eric Clapton in 1979; they divorced in 1989. Pattie Boyd inspired Harrison's songs "If I Needed Someone," "Something" and "For You Blue," plus Clapton's songs "Layla," "Bell Bottom Blues" and "Wonderful Tonight."
In August 2007, Pattie Boyd published her autobiography "Wonderful Today" (titled "Wonderful Tonight" in the United States). Her photographs of George Harrison and Eric Clapton, titled "Through the Eye of a Muse," have been widely exhibited.
