Helen Mary "Jenny" Boyd (born 8 November 1947) is an English former model. She quit her modelling career in the 1960s after discovering Transcendental Meditation, and she soon considered modelling a "waste of her time". She later became a clinical consultant and author. She is the younger sister of 1960s model and photographer Pattie Boyd (first wife of George Harrison and subsequently wife of Eric Clapton) and the older sister of Paula Boyd.

Early life and career

She was born as Helen Mary Boyd in Guildford, Surrey, England in November 1947 to Diana Frances Boyd and Colin Ian Langdon Boyd.

She was a freelance model in the 1960s, and often accompanied her sister Pattie to modelling jobs.

She attended UCLA in the late 1980s, earned a PhD in psychology, and became a clinical consultant and author. She co-authored a book about music and psychology, titled Musicians in Tune.[1]

Personal life

Despite Boyd being the inspiration of British folk musician Donovan's song "Jennifer Juniper", they were never in a relationship, though Donovan admitted having a crush on her.[2] The song was released as a single in March 1968 and on the album The Hurdy Gurdy Man later that year. Also in 1968, Boyd travelled with Donovan and her sister Pattie Boyd to Rishikesh, India, to attend a training session in Transcendental Meditation held by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.[2][3] Later Jenny shared an apartment with Magic Alex of Apple Corps's Apple Electronics subdivision. She also worked at the Apple Boutique in London.[citation needed]

Boyd was fifteen when she met a similarly young Mick Fleetwood, who, at the time, was the drummer in The Bo Street Runners and would later co-found Fleetwood Mac. From thereon, they began an on-and-off relationship that would last fifteen years. They eventually married in June 1970 and they had two daughters, Lucy and Amy. After divorcing Fleetwood (and remarrying and divorcing him a second time),[4] Boyd married drummer Ian Wallace in 1984 but they later divorced.[citation needed] In 1997 Boyd married the architect David Levitt OBE.[5]
