She might be a cultural icon - famous for setting the swinging '60s on fire with her waifish figure, boyishly short hair and long lashes - but Twiggy swears she's just like the rest of us.
"We've all met people in the entertainment business who are not quite with the world... and that's not me," muses the model and actress. "I love going to the supermarket. Just ordinary things."
There's nothing humdrum, however, about the most recent twist in Twiggy's world. The 73-year-old's life story is going to be told not once but twice this year - first in a stage production about her meteoric rise to fame in the musical Close Up, written and directed by Ben Elton, then in a documentary made by actor-turned-filmmaker Sadie Frost.
Twiggy - real name Lesley Hornby was 16 years old in 1966 when a London hairstylist tried out his new crop-chop on her. Soon after, a fashion journalist saw the photos, asked to meet her, and ran an article declaring the teenager “The Face of ’66”.
Within a month, Twiggy – as she soon became known – was in Vogue, and within a year she’d modelled all over, including the US, France and Japan. She couldn’t believe it.
“I hated what I looked like, so I thought everyone had gone stark raving mad… One week I was at school, and within three months I was doing the Paris collections,” she recalls.
