Heidi Klum
Birth Date: June 01, 1973
Birth Place: Bergisch Gladbach,

GermanyBefore gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and sporting lingerie for Victoria's Secret, Heidi Klum was an undiscovered stunner from the small West German city of Bergisch Gladbach.

While still in high school, Klum won a modeling competition that launched her career in Europe. In the '90s, she went on to conquer the American market beside fellow supermodel Tyra Banks, but wasn't content on banking on her looks. She expanded her portfolio as the host, judge and producer of Project Runway and launched her own fragrance, jewelry and clothing lines.

Klum, who was previously married to Ric Pipino and had a daughter with Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore, has since married pop star Seal, with whom she has two children.
