Sadie Frost, 59, on ageing, becoming a grandma and her changing friendship group

ok.co.uk:

Actress-turned-director Sadie Frost has a lot to celebrate. She became a grandmother for the first time in December and she’s now preparing for a milestone birthday this summer.The mum of four, who was once part of the famous Primrose Hill set, is also basking in the success of her second major documentary about a female powerhouse of British culture – Twiggy.

The film, which follows Sadie’s first documentary, Quant , was three years in the making and has already received glowing reviews in the UK and Europe.

It’s now set for release in Japan and America.The critical acclaim is well deserved, we suggest, but Sadie admits her success wouldn’t have felt quite the same a few years ago. “I have the drive, and I’m lucky I have these opportunities, but there’d be no point me doing all this stuff if I was still in the same place I was in maybe 10 or 15 years ago, when I wasn’t able to enjoy the things I was doing. “In my life right now, I have all the things I want – to be able to spend time with my children and my granddaughter and my friends.

It’s about balancing it all and appreciating every day.” Chatting exclusively to OK ! from a hotel in Barcelona ahead of another screening of Twiggy , 59-year-old Sadie appears very different to the person who once had a reputation for hedonistic partying with the likes of Kate Moss, Meg Mathews and the Gallagher brothers in the 1990s.
