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!

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.
