Naomi Campbell (born May 22, 1970) is an English supermodel and actress. Born in Streatham, South London, Campbell studied at the London Academy For Performing Arts. She has been a prominent fashion model on the runway and in print advertising since the late 1980s. She also posed nude for Playboy magazine and for a series of lesbian-erotic photos with Madonna in her book Sex. She is reputed to have a quick temper.
She is also a successful singer; her album Baby Woman sold over 1 million copies worldwide (mostly in Japan), and she was featured on Vanilla Ice's single "Cool as Ice." She had previously appeared in George Michael's music video, Freedom '90, though she merely lip-synched to his song along with other models rather than performing herself.
Campbell co-authored the best-selling novel Swan and followed it up with a photo book titled Naomi.
