Naomi Campbell


Naomi Campbell was born on 22nd May, 1970 at Streatham, London, England, UK. From her childhood days she dreamt of achieving nice things in the future. Naomi Campbell started her career with modeling. Her unnatural, serious style made her a bit different from other ones. After spending only a few years in the modeling world, she began to explore new grounds, and became only the first black model to make her appearance on the covers of TIME MAGAZINE, French and British VOGUE. Something different was about to happen because the talents she possessed was more, than enough to become a supermodel. In the year 1995, she recorded 'Babywoman' which was released by Epic Records. Naomi and the Japanese singer Toshi's 'La, La, La' Love Song once became the number one in Japan. Naomi has made her appearance in several music videos which includes Michael Jackson's outstanding 'In The Closet'. This video was directed by Herb Ritts. At the age of 27, she was almost the model queen. Naomi has also tried her hands in the world of acting by appearing in films and televisions. She appeared in Spike Lee's 'Girl 6' which also starred Madonna and Theresa Randle, and in an Alan Smithee film with Sylvester Stallone, Whoppi Goldberg and Jackie Chan. Naomi's other film includes 'Miami Rhapsody' opposite Antonio Banderas, Sarah Jessica Parker and Mia Farrow and Tony Hickox's 'Invasion of Privacy'. She made her appearance in television with 'NY Undercover' and 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air'. Naomi has also written a novel named 'Swan' which was published by Heinemann/ Mandarin, and followed it with a photo book 'Naomi'. The book contains selected photos by photographers Herb Ritts, Steven Meisel, Richard Avedon, Ellen Von Unwerth and Peter Lindbergh. She also has a great heart. The money collected from the sales of the book were donated to the Red Cross Somalia Relief Fund. Naomi takes initiatives to support underprivileged and needy children. She donated hugely and helped Dalai Lama in raising funds through UNESCO to build kindergartens for poor and needy people in the whole world. She has also built kindergartens in Jamaica in her name.
