Sus enormes y llamativos ojos, encastrados en un rostro que solo podía transmitir inocencia fascinaron al joven Beatle en el set de “Hard a Day´s Night”. #PattieBoyd, quien hoy cumple años, también vio en George Harrison el camino hacia la felicidad personal. En el pasado de la joven parecían quedar una feliz infancia en la lejana Kenia, interrumpida por un grave accidente de su padre, que a su vez sería el prólogo de otro trago amargo, el maltrato de su padrastro. Pero tampoco se cumpliría esa prometedora expectativa. Los excesos y la posterior afición al hinduismo del guitarrista enturbiaron la relación. Eric Clapton, amigo de Harrison y también estaba fascinado con la modelo que supo ser tapa de Vogue.

My 10yo son: "Oh, George is good with his wife now?"

I appreciated his concern and joy seeing them together again. Pattie really was conspicuous by her absence.
