Frost’s documentary follows the working-class Londoner taking bad luck in her stride as she progresses from fashion to film stardom and back again

This feelgood film directed by Sadie Frost is about the 60s fashion icon Twiggy; originally Lesley Hornby from Neasden in London, latterly Lesley Lawson after her marriage to actor Leigh Lawson, and then Dame Lesley Lawson with her Dbe in 2019. With comments from A-listers including Edward Enninful and Suzy Menkes, it tells us the story of a working-class heroine with an almost eerily beautiful gamine face who became a fashion legend with a pop-star status that eluded earlier figures such as Jean Shrimpton, though without the smouldering attitude of the supermodel generation that came later.

Twiggy made a glorious success of her life, and never conformed to any tragic narrative about how triumph in the ephemeral world of fashion and fame must surely be punished with disaster.

London – A psychedelic eye mosaic commissioned by John Lennon for the swimming pool at his Kenwood home in Surrey in 1965 leads Bonhams’ Rock, Pop & Film sale on Wednesday 29 November at Knightsbridge, London.

Claire Tole-Moir, Bonhams Head of Popular Culture in London, commented: “This monumental mosaic, commissioned by John Lennon is a striking example of the Beatle’s artistic vision and influences. Lennon’s Kenwood home in the English countryside was a place of respite from all the public attention he experienced during the height of The Beatles’ popularity. It’s said Lennon would spend idle hours near the swimming pool and that the mosaic could even be seen from his favoured ‘sunroom’ at the top of the house. With Kenwood still under private ownership, it is very rare to see anything from when John Lennon lived there, making the ‘Psychedelic Eye’ mosaic an incredibly important artefact of Beatles history.”

Dark Intruder

Blu ray

Kino Lorber

1965 / 1.85:1 / 59 min.

Starring Leslie Nielsen, Peter Mark Richman, Judi Meredith

Cinematography by John F. Warren

Directed by Harvey Hart

Produced in 1965, Universal Pictures intended Dark Intruder for television but when NBC executives screened the film they took a pass—set in the goth-friendly year of 1890, Barré Lyndon’s story, with overtones of Lovecraft and demonic possession, was deemed “too scary” for the living room audience. That same audience would weather an entire season of My Mother the Car so perhaps Hollywood was underestimating America’s ability to deal with adversity. Universal was undeterred—now officially a “feature”, Harvey Hart’s film opened that summer in Los Angeles alongside Torn Curtain and in New York on the bottom half of a bill with I Saw What You Did (Manhattanites were treated to a personal appearance from Joan Crawford).

With the advent of roadshow attractions like Lawrence of Arabia,...

There are already lots of good interviews with Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) costume designer Michael Kaplan on the internet (we recommend this one in particular), so for Clothes on Film we kept it brief and fresh. We caught up with Kaplan, who is also responsible for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Star Trek (2009), Fight Club (1999) and Blade Runner (1982), for a little chat about what’s new for episode 8 of the ever evolving space saga.

Clothes on Film: Let’s kick off by asking you about the best new costume in the film, the Elite Praetorian Guard…

Michael Kaplan: They are my favourite costumes too! I created a mood board with all the elements I was thinking about – mostly shiny, red, candy apple muscle cars from the early 1970s. We incorporated the bends, the vents, etc. I loved the final, completed design arrived at, but that was just the beginning.

Television and stage producer known for Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and Birds of a Feather

The television producer Allan McKeown, who has died aged 67 of prostate cancer, created the groundbreaking Witzend Productions with the sitcom writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais and had hits on both sides of the Atlantic. It was one of the earliest independent production companies outside the British broadcasting establishment to find success within it.

A prime example of Witzend's attempts to push the boundaries of the medium – and McKeown's credit as executive producer – was Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (1983-86). The series, about a group of itinerant British builders in Germany – developed by Clement and La Frenais from an idea by Franc Roddam – went beyond the sitcom format to become one of the first in the comedy-drama genre.

ITV at first had no plans to make a second series but backtracked when up to 13 million viewers tuned in.

Beginning in the late 1950s, into the 60’s, predominantly through the mid to late 70’s, then into the early 90’s, costume designer Stephanie Collie’s work for The Look of Love covers several distinct periods.

This is the true story of King of Soho billionaire Paul Raymond (Steve Coogan) told via the many women in his life. Helpfully these women confirm to a specific body type which is still relatable as the model ideal today, i.e. very slender or the ‘no-body body’. This means that all the garments on screen look fantastic. They are costumes above all but still relevant as fashion; the 60’s especially still informs contemporary style for women’s clothes. The 60’s and 70’s will always be one of the fondest eras to recreate on screen, yet also one of the trickiest. Potentially The Look of Love was only a feather boa away from being fancy dress.

Chrissie Shrimpton, sister of the famed '60s-era model Jean Shrimpton, dated Jagger, now 69, in the early '60s, when he was attending the London School of Economics - and long before he became a global rock star.

Mick McCann at the Guardian called the iconic 1973 cover art for Aladdin Sane "The Mona Lisa of album covers."

Coinciding with the iconic image's 40th birthday this year, Foam Gallery in Amsterdam is showing a selection of photographs that revel in the beauty of when David Bowie met British fashion photographer Brian Duffy.

The comedy actor talks about her family

Growing up, our household felt unusual because none of my friends' parents had creative jobs like mine did: my dad was an artist, illustrator and calligrapher, and my mum was a teacher but wrote children's stories, too. So our house was full of books and records, and was always a bit chaotic. But it was a warm, liberal upbringing.

My parents completely supported mine and my brother's career choices – I'm an actor, he's a writer. Dad had done this mad thing and gone to the Slade [School of Fine Art], which was unheard of for a working-class East End boy. So he completely got that you have to do what you want.

Dad went from studying fine art to working in advertising, wearing Jaeger suits and doing photoshoots with Jean Shrimpton. But he hated it. So Mum, to her enormous credit, said: "Give it up, you're not happy,...

Karen Gillan has been the Doctor Who companion for two seasons but is saying goodbye to her cushy job on Doctor Who and has thankfully taken the time to express her thoughts on leaving one of TV’s longest running series. As is custom for Doctor Who, the companions of the series always eventually leave to make room for someone new to accompany the Doctor on his adventures through space and time. As sad as it is to Gillan leave, it’s a natural progression for her character and one that would have occurred eventually.

Gillan sat down and spoke with Collider (go check that out!), explaining why she decided it was time to leave the series. From the sounds of it, Gillan is a woman who likes to live in the moment, following her instincts wherever they may take her. Her instincts were apparently telling her now was the...

One freezing week in 1962, David Bailey took 18-year-old Jean Shrimpton and a sad-eyed teddy bear to Harlem, where he shot a Vogue fashion story that would change fashion photography for ever. The pictures still look modern: a glossy black-and-white spread of the Brooklyn Bridge, raw and stark and angry, with that innocuous yet sinister teddy bear underlining Shrimpton's innocence.

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon is Michael Bay's latest epic, but is it time we accepted just how out-there his films are?

Potential Minor Spoilers Ahead

A BBC press release says that a fourteen-episode seventh season has now been confirmed for "Doctor Who" with Matt Smith to reprise the role of The Doctor for the entire run. Whether Smith will hang around for an eighth season in 2013 - the franchise's 50th Anniversary - is unknown.

The deal cements in place production on this year's Christmas special and a standard 13-episode season next year, but does not discuss whether things will be split (like this year) or go back to a 13-week run in either the Spring or Fall. A lot will likely depend on the ratings of the second half of season six.

Despite Smith's return, it's now looking highly likely that neither Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) or Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill) will be joining him. The longest regular run for a companion since the show's return in 2005 has been two seasons,...

Doctor Who star Karen Gillan is currently filming as glamorous Sixties star Jean Shrimpton in We’ll Take Manhattan for BBC4.

The film focuses on the iconic star’s four-year love affair with photographer David Bailey. The part is Karen's first leading role since her debut in the 2010 series of Doctor Who as the Time Lord’s companion Amy Pond.

David Bailey is played by 24-year-old Welsh actor Aneurin Barnard (represented by Ken McReddie Associates) who starred in the original London cast of musical Spring Awakening and last year filmed Ironclad and Hunky Dory. He recently wrapped on Elfie Hopkins and the Gammons and is to star in Iain Softley's Trap for Cinderella, also filming this year.

Although predominantly set in 1962 and exploring the story of how Bailey and Shrimpton first met the drama also reveals how a young, visionary photographer refused to conform. He insisted on using the...

Karen Gillan has dropped dark hints about momentous events ahead in the new series of Doctor Who.

Karen, who plays Doctor's companion Amy Pond, was speaking on the set of the third episode, the pirate-themed The Curse Of The Black Spot.

Gillan admits this episode has been her favourite so far because of her 'piratey' costume and the fact she gets to do some sword fighting.

"Everyone was really nervous when I got a sword in my hand, and quite rightly so," she grins. "But actually, I was rather co-ordinated, which surprises you all, I bet.

"I really, really got into it, and I would like to take up sword-fighting as a hobby."

Gillan is clearly fond of the character and is keen to show she's more than just an action hero.

"With the last series, I wanted to keep her guarded. She doesn't like to show her emotions because she wants to be strong.

Both were in attendance at a recent New York screening of the new season’s first two episodes, where the pair’s arrival was greeted ecstatically by fans.
