The first time I fell in love with fashion,
I was about 13 years old, and I'd gotten some
magazines, and they showed me bell-bottoms
and miniskirts and tent dresses.
That was the ’60s.
You couldn't buy them in the store, so my
mom sent me to pattern cutting so that I could
learn to cut my own patterns and make my own
clothes.
I was in Toronto, we did an all-night shoot
for Air Canada, and I had to go into a hangar,
get into the plane, walk on the wing, and
you cannot believe how high it is.
It's quite terrifying, so I would say that's
quite crazy.
In New York City, I would walk my dog every
morning, and a casting director would see
me, so she wanted me to be nude on the front
cover of Time magazine.
Well, I wasn't happy about that.
However, it was the health section, so I called
two of my children, and they said, "It's Time
magazine.
You can do it."
And it ended up being a very beautiful photo.
For New York magazine, I was asked to pose
nude with a belly.
Of course, not my belly.
They'd bring someone in who was pregnant.
My daughter was with me, and she said, "It
will be iconic.
It's the Demi Moore pose.
You really have to do it."
And it won awards.
When I found out I was a Covergirl, I just
couldn't believe it.
This is like the highlight of my modeling
career.
It's one that I would never dream about, because
that would be silly.
It means a lot to be a Covergirl at 69 because
from all the comments that I get on Instagram,
they're saying you're representing women of
all ages.
Even the young girls now have hope that they
can work forever, and I certainly intend to
work forever.
