| |
Heidi Klum was born in Berisch Gladbach, Germany,
January 1, 1973. This supermodel star is 5' 9" with a
tantalizing 35-24-34 body. She lived with her family in Bergisch
Gladbach, a "small" large city within Cologne. Almost destined
to be a fashion model, Heidi's father, Gunther, worked for a
cosmetics company, while her mother, Erna, was a hairdresser.
Heidi, while still in high school and then 18 years old, saw an
ad in "Petra" magazine for a competition called "Model '92". Her
friend encouraged her to send in some photos, and Heidi then
traveled to Munich to compete on TV. She was intrigued by the
idea, and she never even dreamed of the possibility of winning.
Her friend encouraged her to send in some photos. What began as
a "just for fun" contest, turned into a life-altering event for
this beautiful model when she won the competition.
She immediately signed a contract with a Metropolitan modeling
agency, for a minimum of three years. Before heading to the
American side of the Atlantic, she modeled in fashion capitals
such as Paris and Milan. Heidi hates to fly, and lives out of
expensive hotels, which cater to her every need. Her celebrity
status affords her the best of life, and a constant demand for
her talent.With patience and effort, the modeling offers started
to pour in for Heidi. She appeared in many print advertisements,
including: Bonne Bell, Finesse, Gerry Weber, Givenchy's Amerige,
I-N-C, and hit it big with the Victoria's Secret advertising
campaign. As one of the Victoria's Secret Angels, Heidi made the
transition from model to supermodel, joining the ranks of
Yasmeen Ghauri, Tyra Banks, Helena Christensen, and Stephanie
Seymour.
While Heidi appeared on the covers of such magazines as Bride's,
Cosmopolitan, Self, Glamour, and Mademoiselle, none could live
up to the recognition Heidi received as the Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Edition's 1998 cover girl. After winning the the cover
spot on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine, Heidi's
goddess like looks would rocket her into super stardom.
Appearances on the Letterman Show and Spin City would make her
fans wonder if a second career is in the making. Presently
signed with Elite Model Management, Heidi continues to model and
pursue the possible acting career. Known for her down to earth
personality and her sense of humor, Heidi is married to
hairstylist Ric Pipino. |
