0:00.0	I was once on set as a stylist and the model that came to set was my age.
0:06.0	And after about half an hour they told her that she was, you know, they were done, they were going to wrap, it was great, thank you very much.
0:13.0	Then they turned around to me after she left and they said, we need to reshoot that whole thing.
0:18.0	She had so much Botox, her face wasn't even moving. So I put on the
0:23.0	clothes that she had and we shot the rest of the ad. So that was wild. But I feel, I don't know,
0:32.4	I feel such a, such an empathy for especially again women who are in this position because if they age
0:42.5	naturally they're often you know crucified for it and if they do things to prevent it they

1:36.8	And I knew that while I was here, there were a few very, very interesting women that I had to sit down with.
1:41.6	This week I am sitting down with my guest, Gillian, who has an
1:45.8	incredible history, both personally and professionally. She's been a stylist, a rock star,
1:51.5	a mother, a wife, a divorcee. And now, starting at the age of 60, a model. She's now, as she
1:59.6	puts it almost 70 and is at the height of her
2:02.8	modeling career doing stuff that many people couldn't even dream of in their 20s, let alone
2:07.6	at her stage of life. We talk not just about aging and beauty and modeling, but the many other
