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.
