*Boyd, now 78 and married to property developer Rod Weston, says she believes in soulmates — not just one, but several (if you’re lucky) that come through your life. “You can meet someone and just recognize the essence of their being,” she explains. “And they’re always a joy to be with.*

Something tells me women need several soulmates. She was hot enough to get her wish.

I remember her small role in A Hard Day’s Might. I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
