Claudia Schiffer Biography

Claudia Schiffer (born August 25, 1970) is a German model who reached supermodel status during the 1990s.

She was born in Rheinberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Schiffer began modelling in 1987, after being spotted in a nightclub. Weeks later she appeared in Elle magazine. Within a short time she modelled for Chanel. In the early 1990s she starred in Guess jeans ads in North America. She has appeared in around ten motion pictures.

Schiffer was long engaged to, but never married, the magician David Copperfield. On May 25, 2002 she married film producer Matthew de Vere Drummond, né Matthew Vaughn, son of George Albert Harley Drummond (also known as George de Vere Drummond).

It was widely reported at the time of Claudia 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: Matthew's illegitimacy would bar him from any succession and George Harley Drummond is not in line for succession as he is not descended from the male line.

Claudia Schiffer has two children with her husband Matthew de Vere Drummond (formerly Vaughn). Their first, a son named Caspar Matthew De Vere Drummond, was born in London on January 30, 2003. Their second is a daughter, Clementine, born in London on November 11, 2004.
