Twiggy’s entrance into the world of modeling actually came by accident, and she was never quite sure what the public saw in her. The young star had aspired to be a model from a young age due to her fondness for fashion, though she wasn’t entirely comfortable in her own skin. At the age of 16, she went to a notable London hairdresser to get a pixie cut, and this hairdresser took a snapshot of her hairdo and hung up it on the wall of his salon. This snapshot ended up catching the attention of the editor of The Daily Express.
The Daily Express named Twiggy as “The Face of ‘66”, and her unique appearance went on to define the 1960s as a whole. Join Facts Verse as we explore how Twiggy’s entire modeling career was an accident - see her now.

It's hard not to consider Twiggy an ICON. If the 60's had a human face, it would be Twiggy!
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Twiggy! Which role of her appealed to you the most?
Or Tiny Tim.
I enjoyed her small part in the 1980 version of the Blues Brothers movie driving the XKE Jag...beautiful !!
Sometimes accidents can work in our favor; if it is utilized accurately.
Exactly 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 she seems very right for that era it's no surprise she blew up she just has a very modern trendy look goes well with fashion
@@Model_Roe, right.

Sometimes accidents happen and she had great looks for modeling in my opinion
SHE WAS AMAZING
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
People shouldn't pick on her for being skinny she couldn't help it.
Grew up seeing Twiggy .. she's always a diva ...she was proud of who she was ...⭐⭐⭐
Twiggy was SO famous in the 1960’s. - My friend decided we had to go on starvation diets bc we had to look good !
> I was dieting from age 11 - age 30. I was doing it for so long - I forgot to stop !
> The celebrity media - is quite TOXIC.
Great stuff as always. You know I just wish that they should show a lot more of her variety show on the BBC. She is a very talented woman and I hope they bring out some more of her clips of her show other than the ones on UA-cam. She was light entertainment like Cilla Black and Lulu in the 70s.
Mattel made a Twiggy doll back then as well! She also dabbled in singing and although not a huge success at it I do love her song "Beautiful Dreams" from 1967!
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Which role of her appealed to you the most?
Yes, I think the doll had the Becky face mold.
i think this could be more complete by mentioning that Twiggy did record some albums. She did movies and record folk, soft and country music; she tried disco music too.
Great suggestion, thank you! We won't promise you anything but we'll definitely look into it. Watch out for our next video!
Twiggy is a iconic model. She is a real trendsetter in modeling industry. Just a beautiful woman, indeed.

@@FactsVerse Club Paradise.
None of it was surprising to people who were around at that time I was and still am a big fan of Twiggy and I like her singing and acting as well.
She said in an interview she was discovered sweeping hair at a salon that she worked at 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 it's funny considering the changes culturally that happened during the sixties she was very much right for the time in the same way Kate Moss was very right for the nineties her look just screams modern cool city girl when you think sixties fashion you definitely think Twiggy
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing this information about Twiggy. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I had a terrible crush on Twiggy when I was a teenager. She was adorable!❤️❤️❤️
We don't blame you as Twiggy is definitely gorgeous 😁
She is STILL adorable.!!!!
Just a lot of fun revisiting Twiggy and the sixties!
We're happy that you appreciated the trip down memory lane! What other types of video would you like to see?
Twiggy made fashion much more popular and she also revolutionized it.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
@@FactsVerse I hope that the next video shall be about Twiggy. Please find unreleased Broadway shows of Twiggy. Please find the complete Broadway show called "My One And Only". Thank you.
Lesley Hornby, as unassuming, normal and unspoilt as her own real name - and she remains so to this day.
She became the "Look" because of the males in the Fashion industry and the media that made her look appealing. They told the public that women looking like 12-year-old boys was ideal. NOT the other way around.
I consider Twiggy to be the beginning of eating disorders. I know eating disorders occurred way before she hit the scene but in the 60’s a lot of girls considered her body type to be perfection. It wasn’t her fault though IMO.
I like a lot of her looks of the 60s.
Was she in the original "Blues Brothers" movie?...
I never liked Twiggy with her short hair and skinny body, until the early 70’s when she became a pop star and actress. Always with a nice personality, and she still looks lovely today.
I hope you guys can put up the second half of Twiggy's career, like her time on Broadway.
She is fantastic. I tried to get the clothes she wore. If I couldn’t buy them, I made them. The dress with the belt on the hip, I STILL HAVE IT!!! It is orange and off white. The belt looks a little wore out, yet it still looks good. Oh, my gosh, as an old lady, it still fits!! Yet, a bit snug in the rear end. Thanks for the memories
You're a true fan! Thank you for sharing your life story. We're very happy that you love Twiggy. What other types of video would you like to see?
Before watching this video, all I knew about Twiggy was that she was a model and she got hit on then stood up by Elwood Blues in "The Blues Brothers." (To be fair, Elwood was caught up on a mission from God and Twiggy wasn't even sure if she was going to show up herself in the first place.)
Have always thought Twiggy was stunningly beautiful especially the drawn on lower lashes and the fake freckles, just gorgeous!!
Her freckles are natural not fake!
@@martinpensom5103 Well excuse me for breathing!!
@@ellyneilsen2865 Sorry your taking that attitude I was only saying what Twiggy herself quoted in her book Twiggy in Black and White that her freckles are natural!
Accidents happen for a reason! Twiggy inspires me ❤
I'm reading her book. "Twiggy in Black & White." She said, "Her nickname, Twiggy, was given to her by Tony, Justin's little brother. It started as sticks, then switched to "Twigs."
She was a judge for a season or 2 on America's Next Top Model early years.
Yes, we remember it too! Thank you for brining back memories. Be safe and have a great day ❤
@@FactsVerse she played in the Blues Brothers, too.
I had the pleasure and honor to see Twiggy and Tommy Tune on the Broadway Show My One and Only. She could do it all, a d fabulously well! Act, sing & dance! I was just 12 when Twiggy came into the limelight! I adored her then and, still do now! I wanted to be a model just like her, but being a curvy Latina, I chose design instead. No regrets.
Were not surprised she became a super model as she is so cute. We can rember hearing about her in the 60,'s.
Thanks for watching! We're glad to know that you love our video. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
Thank you, I for one never saw Twiggy as some kind of dude. She was and still a woman. Was she hot, not really, but she was cute. [ And still is! ]
You're very much welcome and thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
Twiggy is iconic,
like Joni Mitchell. . . groovy. . . Very groovy. ❗️
Right look, right time.
She's really a pretty good actress

How much did Twiggy weigh? She didn't look so thin! But she was cute with big beautiful eyes!
Amazing
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
And she was also on the cover of David Bowie album “Pin Ups”
My former wife named her little black kitten, Twiggy; back when Twiggy hit the scene.
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing your life story. Are you also a fan of Twiggy?
We all wanted to look like Twiggy....back in the day!
We agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
I do now she was so beautiful
Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Thank you so much for this! Amen!
Thank you for your beautiful message. May you have a great day 😊
Oh man, I want to have a body like twiggy 💔 *yes I have an eating disorder 😿*
*it gets better but I relapse every now and then*
Lol why? I'm sure she was naturally that small and you have to consider she was 15/16 when she blew up any grown adult woman past 18 trying to be that small wouldn't be healthy
We do hope you'll overcome your eating disorder 🔥
Your eating disorder is a psychological anxiety disorder disorder. See a psychologist who deals with this disorder. Also pray and meditate on the life of Jesus and Mary
Didn't Kate Moss go through something similar?
Because of her, men decided that all women should be stick thin and have a boyish body. To this day women are expected to be rail thin instead of having an hour glass figure. Women should not follow and fall into a model shape body, we should love our bodies. And be the best we can be.
Nice and slim.

🤔 Dear Mr channel owner. Can you do anything to get rid of all these Crypto scammers, who keep showing up in the comments 🤔 section. They just give you a bad name.

Almost there! We would love to see you be first on our next video ♥
All actor and actoress’S make way to much and are unhealthy influence on our youth. I would like them to get a job where they really work for a living. They drink too much and do drugs so what do you think our young people are doing. Also parents need to shape up. And that’s all l have to say about that.
