The CW Star of the Week: Twiggy
Birth name: Leslie Hornby
How did she get her nickname? The label refers to the thin frame she had back in the '60s that made her the most popular model of her time.
Where is she now? She's now a judge on America's Next Top Model, two-hour network premiere Wednesday, September 20 at 8/7c!
Why we heart her: It's tempting to hate the woman who started the skinny model trend, but let's face it - it wouldn't have exploded if a good number of people didn't embrace it. She's also a Tony Award-nominated actress and singer, and almost no one has aged as gracefully as she has. Must be that good attitude of hers, which is apparent on the ultra-competitive Top Model.
Did you know? She dedicates her spare time to anti-fur campaigning and raising breast cancer awareness. Angelina Jolie ain't the only one doing good, people!

I like Twiggy, the only bad thing is she started all this "thin is in" nonsense and let to our obsession with losing weight.

The Twigster is so much better than Janice Dickinson. I'm glad they got rid of JD in favor of Ms. Hornby.
Looking forward to the new season!
