Naomi Campbell was one of the most beautiful supermodels of the 1990s. Born in 1970, she hails from London, England. Her mother was a Jamaican dancer. Her father left when she was just two months old. She gets her exotic looks from her Jamaican-Chinese grandmother. Naomi said: "My features are completely ethnic, and I'm proud of them.”

娜奥米·坎贝尔是90年代最靓丽的超模之一。1970年,坎贝尔出生于英格兰伦敦。母亲是一位牙买加舞者。父亲在她2个月大时就抛弃了她。她的祖母为牙买加华裔。娜奥米称:“我的外貌来自多种族家庭,我感到非常骄傲。”

Success came early for the young Naomi. Her first job was at the age of seven in a Bob Marley video. At 15, a modelling agency spotted her shopping in London and within a year she was on the front cover of ‘Elle’ magazine. The rest is history. She has appeared on the cover of fashion magazines over 500 times.

娜奥米出名很早。7岁那年,她在鲍勃·马莱影像公司谋求了第一份工作。15岁那年,某模特公司在伦敦超市发现娜奥米,1年之内,她登上了“Elle”封面杂志。随后的事情就不必赘述。杂志封面次数超过了500次。

Campbell has led the life of a celebrity. She was the first black cover girl for ‘Vogue’ magazine and appeared nude for Playboy. She has been linked romantically to Mike Tyson and Robert de Niro. She released a music album which sold over a million copies and was number one in Japan. Her ambitions have also resulted in her own fashion and perfume brands.

娜奥米过上了名人生活。她还是首位刊登在“Vogue”的黑人女孩,并在《花花公子》上裸体上镜。她还与迈克·泰森,罗伯特·德尼罗传出绯闻。娜奥米还发表个人专辑,销量破百万,并成为日本销量冠军。她还开创了自己的服装和香水品牌。

Since 1997, Campbell has been involved in charity work. She says one of her greatest joys was working with Nelson Mandela, helping children in Sub-Saharan Africa. In 2005, she helped create the event Fashion Relief, which raised millions for Hurricane Katrina victims. Campbell also has a less enviable side to her character. She has a history of arrests for physically and verbally abusing others.

自1997年起,坎贝尔开始参加公益事业。她称能够与曼德拉一起工作是最开心的事,坎贝尔还救济了撒哈拉以南的非洲儿童。2005年,娜奥米帮助举办慈善秀,并为卡特里娜飓风遇难者筹集数百万善款。但她也并非样样得意。她曾因辱骂和殴打他人而被捕入狱。
