Claudia Schiffer Biography

Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Schiffer (born August 25, 1970 in Rheinberg, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German model who reached supermodel status during the 1990s.

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

Schiffer was long engaged to, but never married, the magician David Copperfield. On May 25, 2002 Claudia Schiffer 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 Claudia Schiffer could become the Countess of Oxford because Claudia Schiffer's father-in-law was in line of succession to the Earldom of Oxford and Mortimer. Claudia Schiffer 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 Claudia Schiffer is not descended from the male line.

Claudia and Matthew have two children: a son, Caspar Matthew De Vere Drummond, born in London on January 30, 2003 and a daughter, Clementine, born in London on November 11, 2004.
