The 68-year-old whose face defined a generation talks to Rosie Green about the magic of grandchildren, the secret to staying slender – and why she’s embracing her age…
Twiggy the model might be impressive, but she’s now so much more than “a face”. She’s passionate about, and very involved in, her clothing and beauty ranges for M&S and Specsavers. She boasts a CV that runs from accomplished award winning film and stage actress to singer to TV presenter via America’s Next Top Model judge.
