Jenny Boyd: Often overshadowed by her sister Pattie, Jenny Boyd was also a muse and model in London in the Sixties. The youngest of three children, Helen Mary Boyd was born in Surrey, England in 1947. Her older sister, Pattie, had a favorite doll named Jenny, hence Helen's nickname. The first six years of Jenny's life were spent in Kenya, East Africa. In the mid-fifties, her family moved to London. Pattie was a successful fashion model, appeared in the 1964 Beatles film, A Hard Day's Night and went on to marry George Harrison and later, Eric Clapton. Jenny also became a London model and met the future drummer of Fleetwood Mac in 1965. Mick Fleetwood recalled the beginning of their relationship "I met Jenny when I was still in the Cheynes...I'd see Jenny coming home from school, a stunning fifteen-year-old in white stockings. I lost my heart to her immediately. I had a massive crush on her, but was so shy I couldn't say anything to her. I knew then, at age sixteen, that this was the girl I was destined to marry." The relationship between Mick and Jenny was on and off again for fifteen years. During one of their separations Jenny befriended Donovan, who went with her and The Beatles to India. Donovan also fell in love with Jenny and wrote the song "Jennifer Juniper" for Jenny. However, Jenny got back together with Mick Fleetwood. Jenny and Mick were married at Kiln House after Christine McVie had joined the band; they had two children, Amy Rose and Lucy. Jenny earned her bachelor's degree in humanities at Ryokan College, her master's degree in counseling psychology, and her Ph.D. in psychology in 1989. In her 1992 book, Musicians in Tune, Jenny Boyd stated that she divided her time between Malibu, California and Surrey, England.
