Jenny Boyd

Helen Mary "Jenny" Boyd (born 8 November 1947) is a former English 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 Beatles' lead guitarist George Harrison and subsequently wife of blues guitar legend Eric Clapton) and the older sister of Paula Boyd. 2Early 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. 2Personal 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. 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 Yog
