Pattie Boyd says that she has not been contacted by anyone involved in the new Beatles biopics — despite the fact that an actress has been cast to play her.
Boyd, now 82, first met The Beatles' George Harrison in 1964 on the set of A Hard Day's Night. The pair married in 1966, but their relationship eventually came to an end, and their divorce was finalized in 1977.
That relationship will be immortalized as part of four separate biopics about the legendary rock band helmed by director Sam Mendes and starring Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.

Boyd is set to be played by actress Aimee Lee Wood, and the four-part project is expected to premiere in April 2028.
In a recent episode of the podcast Miss O’Dell: Abbey Road To Tulsa Time, hosted by Chris O’Dell, Boyd said of the film and Wood's casting, "I also heard that this girl, this actress, is going to be playing me.
"Now, I might be completely wrong, but I would have thought it would be polite to mention it to me or let me know — if they've got someone who's going to be playing me, wouldn't you think they'd let me know? But I haven't been contacted by anyone," she said.
Boyd continued: "I mean, I could have really told them great stories, but I don't think they want to know. I think they want to create something that's completely different, like a — I don't know what — like, I mean, a different story."

Boyd added that the final product may be "the filmmakers' creation of what they think has happened" and could be "nothing to do with the truth, nothing to do with, you know, what really happened because they didn't want to talk to anyone that was there."
Boyd and Harrison's romance was one of music's most famous love triangles, as the model and musician's friend, Eric Clapton, became romantically involved (with Clapton even penning songs about Boyd).
After Boyd's split from Harrison, she and Clapton married in 1979, and the two divorced in 1989. Boyd has been married to property developer Rod Weston since 2015.
