Twiggy (12A)
Directed by Sadie Frost
★★★★
LESLEY HORNBY, a working-class girl from Neasden, was just 16 when she was discovered in 1966, taking the modelling world by storm with her unique androgynous look, and becoming the face of London and the swinging ’60s.
Better known as Twiggy, she was initially told she was too short and too thin to ever be a model, plus she had no bust. She also spoke with a Cockney accent which was unheard of for a model at that time.
This fascinating documentary, directed by Sadie Frost, chronicles the meteoric rise of Britain’s first supermodel and reveals the woman behind the icon as Twiggy tells her story first hand for the first time. It is riveting viewing.
