Twiggy DVD Review | The Fascinating Life & Career of the Legendary 1960s Supermodel

Who would have dreamed that a skinny working girl in London named Lesley Hornby would become the biggest supermodel and cultural icon? But such was the case for this young lady, who would become known as Twiggy.

In the 1960s, Twiggy burst on the modeling scene. Than transitioned into movies, TV, music, and Broadway. This year we celebrate her 60 years in the entertainment business with a new documentary. Director Sadie Frost brings us Twiggy now on DVD. 

Synopsis: 'Twiggy' focuses on the life of the greatest 'It Girl' of all time: Dame Twiggy Lawson. The documentary will be the first time Twiggy has ever told her story first-hand. Discovered at 16 and proclaimed as 'the face of '66' by Daily Express journalist Deirdre McSharry, the model became an overnight sensation. The world saw her grace the covers of Vogue and Tatler by 17, and the New Yorker magazine devoted nearly 100 pages to the Twiggy 'phenomenon' after her arrival in New York. Twiggy shook the world by giving women a whole new look and feel to aspire to. Twiggy brought an elfin androgyny to the forefront and helped revolutionize the accepted image of the female form, giving a voice to a whole new generation of women.

Now as a fan of biographies. I would watch the biography channel on a loop; I was all in for this DVD. I never really knew much about Twiggy until watching this film. And what an eye-opening experience. Twiggy had many triumphs, but also tragedy. But was still amazingly successful because of her hard work. 

Twiggy has been transferred to DVD and is presented in widescreen format. The audio track is an English Dolby Digital 2.0. There is also the option for English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.

This film transfer is really great. Now the archived footage ranges between not so great to good. This archive footage is not in widescreen format (understandably so). But it is something to put out there.

Bonus Features:
* Introduction by Twiggy and Sadie Frost
* 50-second digital promos for the film
 -Favorite Fashion Eras
 -Looking Back
 - Weird seeing Life on Screen
* Slideshow
* Trailers

Cleopatra Entertainment has made this DVD something very special with all the bonus features. So with the bonus features and the 97-minute film, this DVD is nice. Could there have been more bonuses? Yes! But I am not complaining about what we have received.

If you love biographies as much as I do, this new DVD of the life and times of Twiggy is a tremendous watch. If you would like to add this DVD to your home video library, you can order a copy at MVD Shop or Amazon today.

The DVD of Twiggy is set for release on September 22, 2026.
