Supermodel Cindy Crawford says she sometimes feels "overwhelmed" by the expectations of the fashion industry.
	In an extract from her new book, "Becoming", Crawford, who turns 50 next year, said she finds ageing tough as she has relied on her looks for her career path, reported Daily Mirror.
	"Having been a model now for more than 30 years and dependent on my looks for my work, seeing those changes (as I age) might even be a little bit harder for me.
	"At times the pressure to live up to the fashion industry's expectations feels overwhelming. I can still pull off a miniskirt and five inch heels on set - but probably not in real-life."

	"Sometimes I forget that the images I am used to seeing of myself aren't real, that they are all part of the illusion of being Cindy Crawford.
	"And then I will catch a glimpse of the real, unretouched Cindy or see an unflattering ...

	Christie plays Captain Phasma, in "Star Wars".
	"I don't think many female actors get the opportunity to play a part where they're not having to think about the way their face looks... I found exactly the same thing with Brienne of Tarth, and that was very liberating.
	"It was great as an actor to work on your skills - that it isn't about holding your head so you look beautiful. We have seen an image of (Phasma) and again, it's an unconventional kind of woman exhibiting a kind of strength..."
