What She Thought
Boyd characterized their meeting as an accidental meeting after she was cast as a “schoolgirl fan” in The Beatles’ film. “On first impressions, John looked more cynical and aggressive than the others,” she said in her memoir. Ringo [was] the most lovable, Paul was adorable, and George, with his velvet-brown eyes and rich chestnut hair, was the most attractive man I’d ever seen.”
A Hasty Relationship
Boyd and Harrison immediately become close friends. “Being close to him was exhilarating,” she said in her memoir. ‘Would you marry me?’ he asked almost immediately. ‘He was laughing, yet there was a serious tone to his voice. We met shortly after and married on January 21, 1966, two years later. He was 22 when I was 21. I was overjoyed and in love.”
