Patricia Anne "Pattie" Boyd (born 17 March 1944) is an English model and photographer, who was the first wife of George Harrison. After a divorce from Harrison, she then married Eric Clapton. She was the inspiration for love songs written by both musicians, such as, "Something", "Layla", and "Wonderful Tonight".
Boyd started her modelling career in 1962, but was rejected by many photgraphers, as one said, "models don't look like rabbits". Boyd modelled in London, New York, and in Paris (for Mary Quant), and Boyd was photographed by David Bailey and Terence Donovan.
An exhibition of photographs taken by Boyd during her days with Harrison and Clapton opened at the San Francisco Art Exchange on Valentine's Day 2005, titled "Through the Eye of a Muse". The exhibition also ran again in San Francisco in February 2006 and for six weeks in June/July 2006 in London.
