Pattie Boyd, the former wife of George Harrison, has expressed disappointment that she has not been consulted during the production of an upcoming Beatles biopic. Boyd, 82, revealed that neither she nor anyone involved in her life has been approached by the filmmakers, despite the project including depictions of her character.

The film series, directed by British filmmaker Sam Mendes, is an ambitious undertaking consisting of four separate films, each focusing on a different member of The Beatles. Production is currently underway, with Harris Dickinson cast as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr. Boyd will be portrayed by British actress Aimee Lou Wood. Mendes has described the Beatles’ wives as “fascinating and unique figures in their own right.”

In comments made during the inaugural episode of the podcast "Miss O’Dell: Abbey Road to Tulsa Time," hosted by former Beatles tour manager Chris O’Dell, Boyd said she had not been contacted by anyone involved in the film series and claimed the project appears disconnected from the actual events. “I could have really told them great stories,” she said, adding that the films seemed to reflect “the filmmaker’s creation of what they think happened” rather than the truth. Boyd suggested the filmmakers might be deliberately avoiding input from those closely connected to the band.

Boyd, who first met Harrison in 1964 and married him in 1966, commented on the lack of communication from the production team. “I would have thought it would be polite to mention it to me or let me know that they got someone who’s going to be playing me,” she said. She added that she would not dwell on the situation, stating she planned to “be a very good girl and not get grumpy and growly.”

Boyd’s relationship with Harrison became widely known beyond their marriage, as she was regarded as a prominent muse to rock musicians, later marrying Eric Clapton in 1979. In a 2022 interview, she spoke candidly about the breakdown of her marriage to Harrison in the early 1970s, citing his infidelities and heavy cocaine use as major factors. She left Harrison in 1974 before beginning a relationship with Clapton shortly thereafter.

As production progresses without her involvement, Boyd’s comments highlight ongoing questions about the biopic’s portrayal of key figures associated with The Beatles, particularly those who played significant roles in the personal lives of the band members.
