George Harrison‘s first wife, Pattie Boyd, reflected on her life as a Beatles wife in a new interview upon publication of her book, Pattie Boyd: My Life in Pictures. She discussed George’s impact on her life and revealed he would be the person she would love to have one last conversation with.At 19 years old, Boyd was sent by her modeling agency to Paddington Station on Mar. 2, 1964, for a small part in The Beatles’ first film, A Hard Day’s Night. She met John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison, whom Boyd said “was the best-looking man I had ever seen,” according to Far Out Magazine.
Harrison appeared to be equally as smitten with Boyd, for as filming ended for the day, Harrison asked the young model, “will you marry me?” When she didn’t respond, he continued: “Well, if you won’t marry me, will you have dinner with me tonight?”
Boyd had a boyfriend, so she declined. However, after breaking it off with photographer Eric Swayne, she was asked to take care of her final obligations for the film, where she met the guitarist again. Harrison reiterated his dinner offer, and Boyd accepted. From that moment on, they were inseparable and tied the knot on Jan. 21, 1966.
