Cathy McGowan – 82 Years Old – Still Active in Broadcasting and Journalism
Back in the day, Cathy McGowan wasn’t just a TV host—she was the fashion icon of the swinging 1960s. As the face of “Ready Steady Go!” from 1964 to 1966, she introduced the biggest music stars of the era, from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones. But she wasn’t just a presenter—she was the original “it girl,” inspiring a whole generation with her mod style and effortless cool.
After her “Ready Steady Go!” days, she kept things low-key but stayed close to the entertainment world, working in broadcasting and journalism. In the late 1980s, she even popped up on “Newsroom South East.”
