TWIGGY IN NEW YORK (ABC, 8-8:30 p.m.). Photographer Bert Stern catches the lanky Britisher looking at New York and New Yorkers as they stare back...
...rewards are worth the rigors. If a commercial has a long run, a Homely can make $7,500 for one day's work; many make more than $40,000 a year. The competition is sharp, especially since such established Homelies as Wally Cox, Jane Withers, Bert Lahr and Phyllis Diller have mugged their way into the act.

Even so, it seemed as if every mod in Manhattan had turned up at Fashion Photographer Bert Stern's studio to see Lesley Hornby, 17, the cockney wraith more accurately known as Twiggy. Stern threw a welcoming blast for Twiggy when she arrived in the U.S. with plans to expand her minifashion career by peddling some $1,000,000 worth of her clothes in department stores across the nation and picking up an occasional $120 per hour as a model.
