Women Hair Cut Biography
Born Lesley Hornby, her father, William Norman, was a master carpenter and her mother, Helen Hornby, worked as a counter girl at Woolworth’s store.
She attended Kilburn High School for Girls and began modelling at age 15. Her gamine teenage frame had earned her the nickname ‘Twigs’ and she was henceforth known as Twiggy.
1965 heralded the 16-year-old Twiggy’s meteoric rise to fame. She met 1960s celebrity Justin de Villeneuve, born Nigel Davis, who worked as a hairdresser. The couple fell in love and de Villeneuve became her manager. Under his influence, her fashion mod look helped make her the face of 1960s ‘Swinging London’ - a cultural revolution which represe nted all that was new and modern and was a time of hedonism and optimism. She was voted British Woman of the Year in 1966.
The world’s first supermodel, Twiggy became internationally known, modelling extensively in France, Japan and America, in 1967. Her elfin haircut, huge eyes, false eyelashes, sculpted jaw line and endless legs adorned almost every magazine cover, including Vogue and Tatler. She had her hair cut by Vidal Sassoon and was photographed by Barry Lategan. Twiggy enjoyed a year’s modelling contract with Woman’s Mirror, an Australian magazine. Always dressed in the latest fashion, she willingly attended all of London’s trendy parties and public events. Despite being somewhat flighty and giggly, her cockney accent and disarming sense of humour merely made her more appealing to the public. Her boyish, skinny features made her instantly different from other models of her time and were perfectly fitted to the 1960s rising hemlines and bold shapes of mod fashion.
Seeing how successful she was in the fashion world, de Villeneuve suggested she turn her hand to singing and acting as well. Twiggy recorded her debut album, ‘Beautiful Dreams’ (1967), with Mercury Records UK. It won numerous awards, including a silver disc for sales in excess of 150,000 copies and included her hit ‘Here I Go Again’, which reached number 17 on the UK charts. It seemed this rising star could do no wrong.
Twiggy was in Peter Clifton’s music documentary ‘Popcorn’ (1969), that included rare interviews and weird footage of stars such as Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, the Bee Gees, Mick Jagger and Otis Reading. She then met iconic film director Ken Russell in 1970 and he encouraged her to turn her talents to film, but to hone them by studying voice, acting and dance. He cast her as an extra in his horror film ‘The Devils’ (1971), that starred Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed. Twiggy made her lead role debut as Pol ly Browne in Russell’s romantic musical, ‘The Boy Friend’ (1971), set in the 1920s and adapted from the original theatre production. Her performance won her two Golden Globe awards, for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy and for New Female Star of the Year. To coincide with the film release, MGM produced a DJ LP for radio stations. It featured excerpts from the film soundtrack, as well as an interview with Twiggy from a Hollywood press conference.
Through the 1970s, Twiggy proved herself a successful actress in television, film and on stage. She made her West End stage debut playing the title role in ‘Cinderella’ (1974).
