Biography
Heidi Klum was born June 1st, 1973, in Bergische Gladbach, a small city in Cologne, Germany. 18 years old and still in high school, Heidi came across an ad for a model competition in her area while reading a magazine. While she was intrigued by the idea, she never even dreamed of the possibility of entering, much less of winning, but her friend had a different attitude and encouraged her to send in some photos.

The "Model '92" competition, organised by the Petra magazine and a New York Model agency, had a gruelling selection process, where thirty to forty applicants arrived to Munich, hoping to be chosen as one of the three to appear on the Saturday Show of Gottschalk. While candidates were eliminated on a weekly basis, Heidi was one of the three finalists, and made the final cut to become "Model '92".

What began as a contest "just for fun" turned into a life-altering event for the beautiful brunette. Heidi immediately signed a contract with the Metropolitan modelling agency, for a minimum of three years.

Heidi's first modelling gigs were for the Petrol catalogue. Before heading to the other side of the Atlantic, she modelled in fashion capitals such as Paris and Milan. When she finally did move overseas, Heidi found work in Miami before making the move to the highly competitive Big Apple.

With patience and effort, the work offers started to pour in for Heidi. She appeared in many print advertisements, including: Bonne Bell (which Denise Richards also modelled for), Finesse, Gerry Weber, Givenchy's Amerige, I-N-C, and hit it big with the Victoria's Secret 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, an honour that models Vendela, Elle MacPherson and Tyra Banks had previously claimed.

Recently making the move from supermodel to actress, Heidi has appeared as herself 3 times on the ABC comedy Spin City and hit the big screen with a minor appearance in the feature film 54, as a V.I.P. patron.

Presently signed with Elite Model Management, Heidi continues to model and pursue an acting career. She is known for her down to earth personality and her sense of humour, Heidi is married to hairstylist Ric Pipino.
