Heather Mills, born in January 1968 (she is about to turn fifty-seven years old) had a solid career in the world of modeling. Although she was not well known, she had no shortage of work in the early 1990s.
She was twenty-five years old when, in 1993, she was run over. by a police officer who was on a motorcycle. After the accident, Mills’ left leg could not be saved and suffered a transtibial amputation (below the knee).
The model then decided that, far from letting herself be crushed by the situation, she would turn it around and manage to turn it in her favor. Thus, in addition to the compensation that the police had to give him, he received more than two hundred thousand euros for selling his story to a magazine, and He began to parade with his prosthetic leg to give visibility to disability.
From then on, Mills’s life took a turn. Her popularity in the modeling world grew like wildfire, and she used her new situation to become a champion of several charitable causes, even participating in an organization to provide prosthetics to victims of landmines.
But the absolute change would come in 1999, when his path crossed that of Paul McCartney, the former member of the Beatles, who had been widowed a year ago of his wife of almost thirty years, Linda McCartney.
They married in 2002, when she was thirty-four years old and he was fifty-nine. In 2003, their daughter, Beatrice, would be born, but three years later the marriage would break up. and, according to Mills, Paul’s daughter Stella had had a lot to do with it. The singer’s children appeared in all the media declaring that she was a gold digger, and even her first husband, Alfie Karmal, wrote a public letter in which he said of her that she was “a danger” and he said that he had been unfaithful and that he was “seeking fame and fortune.” The media of the time gave credibility to the story.
After the separation, Mills became number one on “the list of the most hated women in the United Kingdom”a position also occupied by Margaret Thatcher or Camilla Parker Bowles, for example.
Despite this, Mills, who already had a strong and independent career, personal and professional, before her marriage to the former Beatle, has continued to thrive in all aspects of her life.
In addition to modeling, he has also dedicated himself to professional sports: holds up to five world records for speed skiing and is “the fastest disabled woman on the planet”, reaching a speed of 166.84 km/hour.
But, furthermore, it is still a tireless activist– Participate on various platforms with different charitable causes (all of which can be seen in your linktree) including animal rights, and is investor in several vegan food and cosmetics companies.
