BIOGRAPHY:
British supermodel and actress. Born in Streatham, South London, Campbell studied at the London Academy For Performing Arts.She did numerous fashion and beauty campaigns for big brands like Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry, Guess, H&M, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Valentino and Victoria's Secret.
She is of mixed Chinese and Jamaican descent and she has been a prominent fashion model on the catwalk and in print advertising since the late 1980s. Campbell's first appearance to a wider public was in February 1978 when she was cast as a pupil to appear in a music video with Jamaican reggae superstar Bob Marley for his song Is This Love?
She is estimated to have so far acquired a wealth of US$28 million from modeling. She also posed nude for Playboy magazine and for a series of lesbian-erotic photos with Madonna in her book Sex. She is reputed to have a quick temper, with several tabloid stories involving violence against her staff as well as verbal abuse. She was once caught filmed on videotape furiously berating a plane flight passenger who apparently took a photo of her, and subsequently tried to snatch the camera away.
She is also a successful singer; her album Baby Woman sold over 1 million copies worldwide (mostly in Japan), and she was featured on Vanilla Ice's single "Cool as Ice." She had previously appeared in George Michael's music video, "Freedom '90", though she merely lip-synched to his song along with other models rather than performing herself. In 1995, her collaboration with Toshinobu Kubota, LA LA LA LOVE SONG, became a hit in Japan, with the single selling app. 1,856,000 copies.She has also appeared in music videos for artists such as Michael Jackson and Jay-Z. In late 2004 she had a high profile relationship with Usher although as of 2005 their relationship appears to be over.
Campbell was selected by People magazine as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the world in 1991.
Campbell also co-authored the best-selling novel Swan and followed it up with a photo book titled Naomi.
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.
Quotes
"I don't always wear underwear. When I'm in the heat, especially, I can't wear it. Like, if I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?"
"I make a lot of money, but I don't want to talk about that. I work very hard and I'm worth every cent."
"I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out. I work very hard, and I am worth every cent."
"The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles, but I had on thick tights underneath."
