She became the “face of 1966” at just 16 years old and from then her career skyrocketed, turning her into the world’s first international supermodel, Golden Globe-winning actress, Tony nominee, and British cultural icon. Dame Lesley Lawson, known professionally as Twiggy, defined a generation – and this film looks at her personal history as told by herself and those closest to her. 

The film will be screened in English with Russian subtitles.
