Former It girl Jenny Boyd has written a memoir about her life at the heart of the Swinging Sixties ...

Thursday, November 5, 2020

In many ways, 1960s It girl Jenny Boyd's life has been overshadowed by that of her more famous elder sister. Pattie met George Harrison of The Beatles while playing a school girl in A Hard Day's Night, later marrying him and inspiring several of his songs, before leaving him for his friend Eric Clapton, who wooed her with Lola, written about her. Yet now Jenny, aged 72, is stepping into the spotlight, with the publication of her own memoir, Jennifer Juniper: a Journey Beyond the Muse.

Born on 8 November 1947, she met her future (two time) husband Mick Fleetwood aged 16, and was with him when he formed Fleetwood Mac, one of the most famous and successful bands of the 20th century. She headed to California to experience the hippy revolution of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury aged just 19 in 1966, before joining her sister Pattie and brother-in-law George on The Beatles' famous trip to India in 1968, spending time with the band as they learned from guru Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
