Model Pattie Boyd is selling letters that lift the lid on her notorious love triangle with guitarist Eric Clapton and Beatles star George Harrison.
Boyd was a muse to both men in the 1960s and 70s, inspiring Harrison's classic song Something and Clapton's hits Wonderful Tonight and Layla.
Initially married to the Beatle, she was pursued by his close friend Clapton in a series of passionate love letters

WHAT! My wife is cheating on me?(In my dreams)
Have you seen her recently?
I think this is cheap. She could have waited until everyone was dead.

I remember her. George indeed did choose well.
Pattie then ...

Pattie now ...

The wall comes for everyone.
And when it does, all you’ve got is your character - for better or worse.
Do you know anyone as cute as she was? You can’t image how they will look later, even though I think ladies that take care of themselves and DON’T take the rubberized Jack-Nicholson “Joker-Face” surgery come out looking alright a lot of times.
I heard an interview in which she said her cheating was Clapton’s fault for “enticing” her
All woman.
She broke George Harrison's heart pretty bad.
For similarly cute, Haley Mills was in the same ballpark.
"Boyd told the Telegraph she sought Clapton's permission before selling the possessions."
"He asked if I was selling the Layla painting, and I said yes," she said. "He said, 'Maybe there are other things you could sell as well.' So he's absolutely fine with me auctioning everything."
Maybe she needs money badly, and he knows that. But I still think it’s cheap, especially if it was NOT for money.
People used to keep their private lives to themselves - and retain their and their friends’ dignity.
I sure had a thing for Haley Mills in the 60’s when I was a kid. Later, I thought she had this whorish sort of cheap look.
Cut her some slack - she's gotta' be closing in on 80.
(In unrelated news, Yoko Ono turned 91 last Sunday. Feeling old?)
Sorry, what I meant didn’t come out right. I just can’t believe how cute girls sometime come out looking like later (seems like more than guys).

She may have made a mistake here.
I think the general rule is that while the recipient owns the actual letter, the sender still retains copyright in what he wrote. Depending on how much she intended to publish, she would have had to ask Clapton’s permission.
But ‘All Woman’ would have been to publish a book, but keep the physical letters to make another killing later :-)
Yoko Ono has looked old for over 50-odd years...
