70th birthday of Dame Lesley Lawson, an #English #model, #actress, and #singer widely known by the nickname #Twiggy. She was a #British #cultural #icon and a prominent #teenagemodel in #SwingingSixties #London.
Twiggy was initially known for her thin build thus her #nickname and the #androgynous appearance considered to result from her #bigeyes, #longeyelashes, and #shorthair. She was named "The Face of 1966" by the #DailyExpress and voted #BritishWomanoftheYear. By #1967, she had modelled in #France, #Japan, and the #US, and had landed on the covers of #Vogue and #TheTatler.
Happy birthday (19 September 1949)
