 Twiggy Talks About Dark Moments Behind Legendary Career

Iconic supermodel Twiggy has opened up about the personal struggles that have shaped her remarkable career, revealing the sadness she has faced throughout her life.

Known for becoming one of the most iconic faces in fashion during the 1960s, Twiggy’s life took a devastating turn in 1983 when her husband, Michael Witney, tragically passed away from a heart attack at just 52 years old. The couple shared a 47-year-old daughter, Carly, and his death left a deep emotional mark on the model’s life.

In a heartfelt conversation with Saga Magazine, Twiggy shared her reflections: “No, because life has lots of ups and downs. There has been lots of sadness in my life, but out of sadness... I got Carly, who is the best thing since sliced bread to me.”

Despite the heartbreaking loss of her first husband, the legendary fashion icon—whose real name is Dame Lesley Lawson—found love again with actor Leigh Lawson. The couple is still happily married today, though Twiggy admitted that when they first met, neither of them was actively seeking a partner.

In addition to the loss of her husband, Twiggy also endured the pain of losing both of her parents. In a particularly poignant moment, she recalls celebrating Carly’s fifth birthday when she received the news of Michael’s passing, an emotional experience that would forever shape her.

Throughout the years, Twiggy has remained an enduring symbol of strength, resilience, and grace, continuing to inspire both in the fashion world and beyond.
