Pattie Boyd, the British model and photographer who was the focus of several love songs written by her rock star husbands, is bringing her famous photographs to Catalina Island this spring.
Yesterday and Today: The Beatles and Eric Clapton as Photographed by Pattie Boyd will open on May 7 and run through July 31 at the Catalina Island Museum. This special exhibition organized by Ms. Boyd features over 50 photographs of The Beatles as well as ex-husbands, George Harrison and Eric Clapton.
Pattie Boyd met George Harrison on the set of A Hard Day's Night in 1964 and they were married in 1966. After her separation from Harrison in 1974, she married Eric Clapton. Pattie was the inspiration for the songs "Something", "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight".
Santa Catalina Island is a small island off the coast of California about 25 miles southwest from Los Angeles. The Catalina Island Museum, located at Avalon's Casino, has just finished a renovation. The museum reopened in February.
Pattie Boyd will appear at the museum on July 2 from 7 to 9 pm to sign copies of her best-selling memoir, Wonderful Tonight: George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Me, published in 2008. The book signing is free for musem members and $10 for non-members.
