Pattie Boyd, Ex-Wife of George Harrison and Eric Clapton Pens Autobiography

I wonder if Eric Clapton even cared the Patti was married to George Harrison. And maybe Paul McCarty was right about Eric along.... If Eric wanted to keep the affair secret why write a song that let everyone know about it.... Then again the only one not sleeping around on their wife was Sir Paul....

I can't wait to read the book! I heard her photos will be on display in New York, too.

Pattie Boyd was my heroine growing up in the Sixties. She had quite a life and I can't wait to read her book. Thanks for printing the photos, but the beach ones of Pattie and George are from when they were on their honeymoon in Barbados in 1966, not while filming "Help!".

Patti Boyd is an inspiration for modern women! She is a true survivor and never has lost her beauty, brains, style and grace. Can't wait to read her book!

The best book ever!!

This was a great read. My heart goes out to Pattie. I do not feel pity just sadness that she fell for two men that weren't ready to commit. She lived her life for them not herself. I hope she really is in a good place today. If all of this had happened today she would of been sitting pretty. George and Eric were lucky she did not grab all she could get. She deserves whatever she makes from this book. She paid her dues. p.s. not being able to get pregnant is a hard blow to take. I am sure she would of made a good mother.

Glad that Pattie Boyd decided to write the book. She has led quite a life and did an excellent job of writing about it. I think that a lot of women will relate to her story. Although most of us haven't been married twice to rock stars (or even once), many of us have had memorable youths and lived on the edge. There comes a time when things slow down and we must reflect. Sometimes there are regrets along with fond memories. I wish the very best for Pattie Boyd and am so happy that she chose to better herself and not become bitter and unhappy. She will always have her fond memories of the past and now can move on and make more memories. I have a feeling that this is not the last we will hear of her (I sure hope not!!!!!)

I was thrilled to hear about Pattie's book as I never thought she would come forward with her side of the story. Being a Beatlemaniac, I was always curious about her.

I couldn't put the book down it was so riveting. Not only does she describe her childhood and capture life in the 60s, she shares her ups and downs.

I walked away from the book absolutely disgusted by Eric Clapton. What a real jerk! And George Harrison lost many brownie points. They may be musical geniuses, but fail miserably as men. They both treated Pattie horribly.

And I'm proud that Pattie got her life together, sought counseling and found herself. I'm saddened that these men put her through so many pain, but happy that she eventually healed and emerged a stronger woman.

All I can say is I read 3/4 of the book the day I got it I couldn't put it down. Patti please write another I'm sure you have lots more to tell.

I was smitten with Patti Boyd from day one! I worshipped her. Had every pix I could get my hands on nailed up on my bedroom walls. I wore my hair just like Patti, bangs and all, and made up my eyes exactly like she did. As a child, I'd had several eye operations and was very self-conscious, but because of her I hid my glasses away and walked like a model!! And then, one day it all came crashing down around me,just like that. Our house burned to the ground while we were out swimming in the lake, taking everything but our swimming suits. Everything changed after that. A few months later, my mom chopped off my hair as a punishment for running away to Haight/Ash. and I remember hearing her tell the hairdresser to cut it short enough that I couldn't get a curler in it even if I wanted to. I gained some weight, my boyfriend broke up with me. My 2 horses died. Life was grand!! Seeing her in the news again has brought all these memories back to life again. And you want to know something funny? I grabbed my eyeliner and started doing my eyes again!! My hair is long, thank god, and after having 3 kids and 2 grandkids, I look great!!!! Thank you Patti Boyd for being you. You made it possible for me to be... me a long time ago!!

I am confused. Can anyone offer up an answer? I have seen two different titles for Pattie Boyd's autobiography. I have the one titled "Wonderful Tonight," and on the internet I have seen one titled "Wonderful Today." What gives? Did the title change in midstream? Did Eric sue and make her change the title? Anyone know the answer?

I read this book in 2 sittings. I LOVED it! Her life has been amazing and I'm so happy she has shared the journey. It's like she's lived 4 or 5 lifetimes in one. I hope she writes more. I will definitely read her future books.

WOW...what a great book !

I saw the Beatles in Houston, Texas in the early 60s. I was one of the original Beatles fan.

I was so jealous of the Beatle's girlfriends and wives. I thought " They are so lucky" !

Patti's book opened my eyes as to what they had to endure in these relationships and marriages. Guess they weren't so lucky after all.

I admire Patti for opening up her heart and life to us in her book. Her life has not been easy.

She is an amazing woman and I admire and respect her for "going thru all that" and still coming out on top.

This is a MUST READ book ! Thank you Patii.

Pattie Boyd was a bed hopping, drugged up trollop then...as were a lot of the Pop wives and birds of the 6o's...I'd rather read a dictionary than her book...

I had read 'Clapton' and loved it. I have always been a huge fan of his. I always wondered about Patti, and now I just finished her book. I feel a little different about Eric Clapton now. It saddend me that he could be so uncaring. Patti has gone through so much, first George and then Eric, how could they treat her so shameful. I know Eric is doing well now, but he should get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness for the way he treated her. All he really ever loved was the thought of her and after he got her he trashed their love. His songs were empty words.

Pattie gave Eric a stiffie. Truthfully, she'd give any normal bloke a stiffie so I don't blame him. Once he got some of that stuff, it was on to the next tart.
That's life.

this was a great book. since i love george, it was interesting to read. i wish she would've stayed with him! eric became an alcoholic and her life was hell!! she should've worked things out with george. anyway it's a good book.

George you are beautyful boy.
i love your;
-big black eyes
-cristal white smile
and soft voice

Happy Birthday Pattie!
the book was very interesting, but we do hear only one side. i think George really loved Pattie (he probably felt broken when she left him for his "best friend"). they just needed to work it out. They both (Pattie and George) have a lot of integrity, both honorable people. for all you girls out there: don't fall for the devils (as clapton used to be), stick with the real man.

I miss george

He seemed to be the most innocent of the boys...
I also think that he loved Pattie
pattie should have realized that he can't always be doing things for her, and that he was really into the Indian culture thing and she should have respected that more

it's not everyday you can be married to a beatles you know!

I think (and hope!) that Pattie realized that after she Broke up with eric that there would never be another chance to be married to Georgie...

As the song "big yellow taxi" by Joni Mitchell goes... " don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone..."

RIP George Harrison, the best guitar player the world will ever see, and a man with a huge heart, great sence of humor and a wonderful personality.....

We love you George!!!!!

I just got through listening to her book on tape. Sorry but what I came away with was disgust. She seems a pitiful creature who only lived for herself. She mentions having trouble getting pregnant, thank God for that because with all the drugs and alcohol she constantly consumed who knows what kind of medical issues her kid would have had. Everything that happened to those around her only made her think of herself. I hope she has found some meaning to life beyond fame/travel/booze and drugs. Perhaps (gasp) she may even be trying to be of use in this world by helping others instead of only living for herself. As for Clapton, was sorry to hear what a mess he made of his life. I loved his music but now view him as a loser.

greath read book" alway love pattie since i was young boy being beatles fan. this give a very insighful look at the hard drug eric was usin then get off drug, they turn into grogs as i personally seen it though be my brother who finally got himself clean for last eight years to his death though house fire. hope to see another book full of pics. kevvie,aust

i loved george from the day i first saw him i wish she never hurt george i can never look at clapton the same way i gess it never lasted as he didnt love her as much as george

I think she should have stayed with George, they seemed like a better couple together. I mean, Something compared to "Layla" is wayyyyy better. Who would want a hard heavy rock song, with lyrics that don't make sense, rather than having a peaceful love song that enters the heart! Looks like a good book though.

I luuuuuuuvvvvv Pattie Boyd! :)

i love the pictues at the top. that is to cute and just makes your heart melt.

The color of money is red not green.

I have been listening to Pattie Boyd's auto book. What I cannot understand is why did she put up with both of husbands' infidelities nor could I understand why she would even marry Eric Clapton when he was a hardcore alcoholic and previously kicked her out of their home? I believe she brought a lot of pain upon herself and should have known when to leave. I too was a child of the seventies and I was not as beautiful as Patti Boyd but I would never stay with a man who mistreated me like Eric treated Pattie. I don't care what his name is or his claim to fame. No one should ever tolerate such disrespect. I do hope that in her later years she came to this realization and started embracing her own abilities and developed some genuine self confidence.

If she would have been alive at that time that would have been me. I am 12yrs old

Us teenagers in 60's America let Britain dictate our every move. The music we liked; the clothes we wore; even how we put on our make-up! It was nothing less than magical for the girls. We worshipped England's super-models; Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton (Yardley), Pattie Boyd. Our idols, male and female, were larger than life. It was an incredibly wonderful time for being young! And the memories? I wouldn't trade them for the entire world...

Patti,

You're a beautiful women- and lucky to have been married to George-
My favorite Beatle! His quite charm, intelligents, spirituallity(wisdom) and wit made me fall for him in the movie HELP which is where you 2 met- lucky U! Can't wait to read your book and thanks for sharing- IT IS A HORRIBLE SHAME he is no longer with us! My grandmothers maiden name is Boyd- maybe we're related way- way back?!
Hope to met you one day and Keep up the great work!
Love,
Melanie
ps. You, Paul, ringo, shawn everyone should get together and sing All you need is Love again like they did in 1967!

who is her? give me truth...
