On August 25, 1970, Claudia Schiffer was born in Rheinberg, a small West German village. Her childhood self was not at all the glamorous person she would grow up to be; instead, she was a tall, shy, and awkward teenager. Claudiaās original goal was to become a lawyer and work for her fatherās legal practice.
But when she was just 17 years old, a modeling agency found her at a DĆ¼sseldorf nightclub, and thatās when her life completely changed.
