E166: Confidence at Any Age: How Anne Flanagan Turned Viral Fame into a Modelling Career in her 70s
Description
Anne Flanagan, from Belfast, had a chance street interview on Model Strangers that turned her into a viral sensation and a late-blooming model in her seventies.
She reveals how photographer Chris Ward’s video (seen by over 43 million) led to photoshoots and runway work with ACA Modelling Agency, an on-stage role with Northern Ireland Opera, and even a Zoom chat with Drew Barrymore.
Straight talking and down to earth, Anne talks about shyness versus confidence, why preparation beats “just believe in yourself,” embracing grey hair and personal style, and the family values behind her private book “Heart to Heart.”
Expect honest lessons on ageing well, confidence at any age, and taking opportunities when they appear.
