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 1, 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 2 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.

Campbell has led the life of a celebrity 3. She was the first black cover girl for ‘Vogue’ magazine and appeared nude 4 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.

Since 1997, Campbell has been involved in charity work. She says one of her greatest joys was working with Nelson Mandela, helping 5 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 6 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。
