"Too fat, too short, too dark." These were the words with which Milva Spina was once rejected as a model. Today, the 57-year-old puts every young colleague in the shade. How did she make her breakthrough? With which stars has the Upper Austrian already stood in front of the camera and what is the secret of her success?

In Switzerland it was a beauty company, in Barcelona a clothing brand, in Italy advertising for fittings. Milva Spina has spent the last three weeks traveling all over Europe. Yes, the 57-year-old is really getting her act together, the top model is more in demand than ever. "I started at 18, ended my career at 28 and then worked as a stylist and make-up artist," laughs the Upper Austrian. But the native Italian has been back in the business for around seven years now. And more than ever. Because with her long white hair, Milva Spina is a real eye-catcher.
