My Take

Pattie Boyd is too often filed away as the muse, the woman behind George Harrison and Eric Clapton's greatest songs, and I find that framing lazy. What interests me is how she eventually seized the narrative herself: the model who became a photographer, the subject who picked up the camera, the wife who wrote her own story rather than letting rock historians speak for her. Surviving the eye of the Beatles hurricane and then turning that experience into art of her own takes a rare resilience. To me she is not a footnote in anyone's biography; she is the author of hers.

Overview

Patricia Anne Boyd (born 17 March 1944) is a retired English model and photographer. Boyd married George Harrison in 1966, experiencing the height of the Beatles' popularity and sharing their embrace of Indian spirituality. She divorced Harrison in 1977 and married mutual friend Eric Clapton in 1979; they divorced in 1989.
