Before Instagram and before the influencer, there was Cornelia Guest. From shooting her first feature in Vogue at the age of 1 to being named “Debutante of the Decade” by 22, Guest is more than just an actress, advocate and daughter of C.Z., she’s an American icon. Known for her animal rights projects and commitment to a cruelty-free lifestyle, at 60, she also says we’re all ageless. “Honestly, I think the best thing is realizing that age is energy, how you feel and what you do, not just a number! But when you are younger, do it all and have a ball.”
