Source Notes
Penny Thornton quotes her in "Romancing the Stars." "Twiggy is uncertain about her exact time of birth but maintains it was in the very early hours of the morning. Working with her ..... 29 Cancer ASC seemed entirely appropriate."
(Davies gives 00:45 AM, no source, in "Signs of the Stars." Craswell quotes John Naylor 1/1975 for 8:00 AM as "generally estimated time.")
