Heidi Klum was born in Bergisch Gladbach, a small city near Cologne, Germany born in June 1, 1973. Klum is a German model, actress, television host, business woman, fashion designer, television producer, artist, and occasional singer. Klum was the Emmy Award-nominated hostess of Project Runaway and Germany�s Next Topmodel and is a Victoria�s Secret Angel.
Her career as a top fashion model and swimsuit star began almost by accident when, on a lark, she submitted photos to a model competition hosted by Petra, a young woman's magazine. Klum won the competition, and signed with Metropolitan, the German modeling agency. After modeling in Europe for a few years to great success, she went to the United States to pursue modeling there, and met with more success, culminating in her relationship with Victoria's Secret. This brought her to the pinnacle of modeling and, in 1998, the coveted cover of Sports Illustrated's annual Swimsuit Issue, cementing her status as one of the world's top models. Along with that came lucrative marketing opportunities, including her own signature lines of sandals, jewelry, and perfume.
Like many other models, Klum then sought to parlay her fame into a career in Hollywood. She has appeared frequently on TV in the US and in Germany, and has had several small parts in movies, including a cameo playing Swiss bombshell in the The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004). Klum is married to British singer Seal.
