 Having won a string of beauty contests in her teens, among them Miss Fairest of the Fair and Miss Maid of California, she became the sex symbol of the swinging 60s and early 70s. She established herself as an actress in the movie One Million Years BC. Since then she has appeared in countless films, in nightclubs and in TV plays and soaps. In 1997 she took over from Julie Andrews in the Broadway musical Victor/Victoria. We will next see her in Forget About It with Burt Reynolds and Robert Loggia. Framework She may be 65, but she has kept her figure remarkably close to the 37-22-35 statistics that made her famous. And although she is pleased with that, she says; "Body beautiful is not the top priority any more. Health and well-being is where it's at." The 5ft 6in (121 pounds) star insists she has never had plastic surgery. "There is nothing very remarkable about my looks. "My skin glows because I inherited good skin from my mother - and I stay well away from soap and water because they dry out your skin. Don't get me wrong, I have some tiny wrinkles around my eyes, and I earned every one of them!" Exercise She should be in good shape, having issued four fitness videos. She exercises every day for about an hour, with the accent on Hatha Yoga. "Yoga certainly helps me maintain my shape and my looks," she says. "The mental concentration is the best treatment ever for wrinkles." She always includes some sort of abdominal workout in her daily exercise. "Your abs are the centre of your strength. Work the abs every day, rain or shine." Diet "I don't shovel food into my mouth. I eat the right food combinations - proteins with vegetables, starches with vegetables, but no starches with proteins." A typical food day might be: fruit juice and toast for breakfast; fish or chicken with lots of vegetables for lunch; green vegetables, brown rice or a baked potato and some fruit for dinner. There is no salt, processed foods or caffeine in her strict low-fat diet. She is a believer in supplementary vitamins, especially the anti-ageing ones: A,C,D and E, plus selenium and a calcium tablet every day. Love-life After three marriages ended in divorce, she vowed never to wed again. But 20-years-young restaurant chain manager Richard Palmer changed all that. They married in July 1999 at her home in Beverley Hills, but, sadly, they separated after four years. She first married at 18 to childhood sweetheart James Welch, father of their two children. Husband number two was Patrick Curtis, who became her manager and helped mastermind her rise to fame. Husband number three was French photographer Andre Weinfeld. |
