Patricia Anne "Pattie" Boyd (born 17 March 1944 in Taunton, Somerset, England), fashion model and photographer, is best known as the wife of two famous rock musicians and the inspiration for several memorable rock love songs. After meeting on the set of A Hard Day's Night, Pattie married George Harrison in 1966, during 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 in 1977, and later marry Clapton in 1979. She and Clapton divorced in 1988.
Pattie was a successful model during the 1960s and early 1970s. She was known to frequent trendy clubs as well as the company of the era-defing designers Mary Quant and Ossie Clark. She also appeared several times in the covers of the best-known British magazines, including the UK and Italian versions of Vogue.
Pattie was the inspiration for Harrison's most famous Beatles tune, "Something", the only Beatles hit not written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The song was called "the greatest love song ever written" by Frank Sinatra. It was only after his wife had humiliatingly left him that Harrison denied Pattie was his muse. However, most of his songs up until 1974 (the year of their split) were clearly inspired by her, for instance "For You Blue", "I Need You", and "So Sad".
