Hollywood Legends Who are Still Alive and Making Magic

Twiggy – 71 Years Old

It’s said that Twiggy was initially called Twig by friends due to her tiny frame and thin body making her look like one. It was her hairdresser and boyfriend at the time who called her Twiggy. It may seem like a derogatory term, but it made her a superstar and went with her simple androgynous look.

She took the modeling world by storm and was named The Face of 1966 by the newspaper Daily Express. She also successfully transitioned into film, winning two Golden Globe Awards for her role in the 1971 film The Boy Friend. She is currently filming a documentary called John Schlesinger: Midnight Men.
