Pattie Boyd, who was an extra in the Beatles' first film "A Hard Day's Night" and was married to George Harrison for 11 years, will exhibit over 50 of her photos in an exhibit, "Yesterday and Today: The Beatles and Eric Clapton as Photographed by Pattie Boyd," May 7 through July 31 at the Catalina Island Museum in Avalon, CA.

As the wife of Harrison and later Clapton, Boyd inspired songs such as the Beatles’ "Something" and Eric Clapton’s "Layla" and "Wonderful Tonight." Her memoir, "Wonderful Tonight, George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me" was a New York Times bestseller.
A reception will take place at the museum from 6 to 9 p.m. May 7. Tickets are free for members and $5 for the general public. Boyd will also sign copies of her book during a personal appearance from 7 to 9 p.m. July 2. Tickets are free for museum members and $10 for the public.
The museum, which is located on the ground floor of the Casino building facing Avalon Bay, is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.
