Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell is a name synonymous with the supermodel phenomenon of the late ’80s and 1990s.
At the tender age of 15, Campbell was officially signed with a modeling agency, and would soon gain fame as the first black woman to appear on the covers of French and British Vogue, as well as Time magazines.
Naomi Campbell had a number one hit single in Japan called La, La, La, Love Song.
Campbell was born May 22, 1970, in Stratham, London, England. As a child, she gained a taste of acting, appearing in a film called Quest for Fire. Along with her early start in the modeling profession, she honed her limelight skills by attending the London Academy for Performing Arts.
She has had publicised romances with Robert De Niro and Joaquin Cort�s, and she was once engaged to U2 bassist Adam Clayton.
In his book, ‘A.J.Ayer A Life’, Ben Rogers describes Naomi Campbell having a narrow escape: In 1987, while Ayer was visiting the Manhattan home of lingerie magnate Fernando Sanchez he heard a woman hollering that the boxer Mike Tyson was in the process of assaulting a woman in an adjoining room. At age seventy-seven, the buoyant Ayer sprang into action and discovered the fighter attacking the model Naomi Campbell. Ayer ordered him to stop.
Campbell has had notable feuds with several celebrities: the most publicized of which are between herself and fellow Black supermodel Tyra Banks that had been going on for years. The two finally made up in 2005 on an episode of Banks’s syndicated talk show The Tyra Banks Show. Campbell also had a rift with former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, who publicly branded the model as a “massive cow” and a “bitch” in 2000. The pair apparently also ended their feud not long ago.
In 1996, she was featured in Tony Hickox’s Invasion of Privacy, and in 1997, An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn, starring Sylvester Stallone, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jackie Chan.
In addition, her media credits were rounded off by two books: the best-seller -Swan, co-written by Campbell, and -Naomi, a collection of photographs spanning the length of the model’s career. Sarah Sloboda, All Movie Guide
Naomi Campbell’s agent Steven Klein is also her anger management teacher and he photographed The Naomi Diaries.
