Claudia Schiffer
Encyclopedia : C : CL : CLA : Claudia Schiffer
Claudia Schiffer (born August 25, 1970) is a German supermodel, who reached the height of her popularity during the 1990s.
Schiffer was born in Rheinberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, and began modeling in 1987, after being spotted in a nightclub in Düsseldorf. Just weeks later she appeared in ELLE and within a short time she began modeling for Chanel. In the early 1990s she starred in Guess? jeans ads in North America. She has appeared in a number of motion pictures and has also appeared in the music video of Westlife's cover of Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl," as the iconic uptown girl.
Schiffer was long engaged to, but never married, the magician David Copperfield. The press later revealed their engagement was contractual. On May 25, 2002, she married film producer Matthew Vaughn, son of George Albert Harley Drummond (also known as George de Vere Drummond). It was widely reported at the time of Schiffer's marriage that one day she could become the Countess of Oxford because her father-in-law was in line of succession to the Earldom of Oxford and Mortimer. She is disqualified on two counts: Vaughn's illegitimacy would bar him from any succession and Drummond is not in line for succession as he is not descended from the male line. Schiffer and Vaughn have two children together; son Caspar Matthew, born in London on January 30, 2003 and daughter Clementine, born in London on November 11, 2004.
