Claudia Schiffer was born in Dusseldorf, Germany on August 25, 1970. She was at a nightclub in Düsseldorf, Germany celebrating a friends birthday in October 1987 (when she was 17) and an agent from Metropolitan spotted her. Her first Cosmo cover was December 1989.

She is very natural and drinks a lot of water but won't touch alcohol. She posed nude with Sylvester Stallone for Gianni Versace's china collection ad's. She refused $250,000 to appear in a German yogurt commercial because they wanted her to get yogurt on her nose
