TWIGGY: The English model (real name Lesley Lawson) became a huge star in the mid 1960’s. Best known for her androgynous look, waif-ish build and short hair, it was her large eyes and long (and penciled) eyelashes that helped to make her a star and now an icon.
SOPHIA LOREN: Born in Rome, the gorgeous Sofia Villani Scicolone became an international film star in the 1950’s through the 1970’s. In addition to her talent, Loren is known for her beauty, particularly the shape of her eyes and eyebrows.
ELIZABETH TAYLOR: Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, born in 1932, was celebrated as much for her beauty as she was for her acting skills and personal life. She performed from early childhood until her last role in 2007. It was her distinctive violet eyes surrounded by an extra set of eyelashes, a “mutation” called distichiasis (also known as an “accessory row”), that added to her fame.
