Pattie Boyd recalls Beatle Days ..
A few days before the opening of an exhibit of her photographs at a San Francsico gallery, Patti Boyd spoke of her memories of ex-husband George Harrison.
Pausing in front of her photo of Harrison and her second husband blues guitar maestro Eric Clapton together with cigarettes in their hands in the mid-1970s, she reflected on the end of her marriage to the former Beatle around that time.
She said Clapton was not to blame. “There was a natural ending to my relationship with George as husband and wife.”
The blond-haired, English-born Boyd met Harrison during the 1964 filming of “A Hard Day’s Night” in which she had a small part. The two struck up a relationship and she later inspired Harrison’s best-known love song, “Something.”
“What he couldn’t understand is why he was famous,” she said before an image of Harrison in the British countryside. “He came from humble beginnings and the struggle (to achieve fame) was not that great.”
