Heidi Klum
Model
Heidi Klum was one of the bestknown fashion models of the late 1990s. Already popular in America with fans of the Victoria's Secret catalog, Klum made a bigger splash when she appeared on the cover of the 1998 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She costarred in the movie
Blow Dry (2001, with
Josh Hartnett and
Rachael Leigh Cook) and made regular appearances as herself on the
Michael J. Fox sitcom
Spin City. In 2004 she began hosting the cable TV series Project Runway, a reality show in which budding fashion designers compete with each other and are judged by a panel of experts led by Klum.

A second son, Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, was born in November 2006... Klum also has a daughter, Leni, born in May 2004 from her relationship with auto racer Flavio Briatore.
