#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - For the first time, rock music's most famous muse tells her incredible story, from her tumultuous childhood and the beginning of her modeling career to her marriages with George Harrison and Eric Clapton, and shares exclusive photographs of her life in the sixties and beyond
A charming, lively, and seductive book.--The New York Times Book Review
[Wonderful Tonight] will thrill classic-rock buffs with a taste for scandal.--Entertainment Weekly This is my truth, which may not necessarily be as others remember it. But if my story is to have any validity, I have to tell the truth as I see it. In Wonderful Tonight, iconic photographer Pattie Boyd breaks a forty-year silence and reveals how she found herself bound to two of the most addictive, promiscuous musical geniuses of the twentieth century and became the most legendary muse in the history of rock and roll. She met the Beatles in 1964 when she was cast as a schoolgirl in A Hard Day's Night. Ten days later, a smitten George Harrison proposed. For twenty-year-old Pattie Boyd, this was the beginning of an unimaginably rich and complex life as she was welcomed into the Beatles' inner circle--a circle that included Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, Jeff Beck, and a veritable who's who of rock musicians. She describes the dynamics of the group, the friendships, the tensions, the music-making, and the weird and wonderful memories she has of Linda and Paul McCartney, Cynthia and John Lennon, Maureen and Ringo Starr, and especially with her husband, George. It was a sweet, turbulent life, which took an unexpected turn when a passionate letter set in motion a sordid love affair with Eric Clapton. The woman who inspired Harrison's song Something and Clapton's anthem Layla, Pattie Boyd has written a book that is rich and raw, funny, and heartbreaking--and totally honest.
