‘Stealing hearts everywhere’: 99-year-old US woman features as model for beauty brand

In an interview with the People, Simon shared how she was sceptical when Crowell asked her to be the brand’s new face soon after her 99th birthday.

“I had seen all the beautiful models, and I was no competition for that,” Simon told the People.

However, Crowell, to whom the idea was suggested by one of her brand followers, remained persistent and finally convinced Simon, who has six children, 11 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
