Heidi childhood
Heidi Klum was born in the city of Bergisch Gladbach (Germany) on June 1, 1973. Her parents were very close to the fashion world, her mother worked as a stylist, and her father as a manager of a well-known cosmetic company. Even from school, the girl dreamed of a career as a model and set a goal - to achieve success in this difficult field. Heidi took up the implementation of her plans at the age of 18, it was then that the girl won the national contest "Model 1992". This place was claimed by 25 thousand beauties from all over Germany, but Klum went around everyone. The main prize is a contract with a modeling agency for $ 300,000 and participation in the Late-Night-Show. To make a final decision, the girl was given several months to think. In the end, Heidi agreed and dropped out.
Career model
In 1993, Klum moved to the United States and devoted herself entirely to her career. The novice model now and then appeared on the covers of popular magazines, her photos were full on the pages of Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle.

From 1996 to 2002, Heidi appeared in 7 episodes of the sitcom "City Twirl" and again she played herself.

Then there was a role in the comedy The English Barber, Heidi starred with Natasha Richardson and Alan Rickman. In 2002, the melodrama Crime Scene: Miami was released, in which Klum got a small role. The audience very warmly perceived the actress, not paying any attention to the fact that she is not a professional, but just a model. Therefore, Heidi in 2003 participated in the documentaries “Victoria's Secret Fashion” and “Blue Collar Comedy Tour”.
There were still interesting projects, almost every year films with Klum’s participation were released. But the real serious role of the model was offered only in 2006, when she, along with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, starred in David Frankel's comedy “The Devil Wears Prada”. The audience liked the work of the actress, but critics took it quite restrained. So after this movie, Klum appeared only in guest roles.
The secret of the perfect figure

It was he who helped Heidi to recover after childbirth in just a month and a half.
