It was the best of times for Pattie Boyd. Her modeling career was booming and the sixties were exploding on the London scene. One day she got a call - she'd been cast in a Beatles film. The rest is history. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge, we'll meet the woman who inspired three of the most famous rock songs of all time, from George Harrison's "Something" to Eric Clapton's "Layla." Also, one writer's homage to a hero in letters: Kurt Vonnegut.
