Turn from Model to Mogul: Heidi Klum became a household name when she began hosting, producing, and acting as a judge for the popular reality TV series,
Project Runway. She has done other television work, including
Spin City, Sex and the City, Yes, Dear, and
How I Met Your Mother. Her cameo film appearances include
The Devil Wears Prada and
Perfect Stranger.
Aside from television and continued modelling work, Heidi establishes herself as a mogul through her role as the creative adviser for Astor cosmetics. She also designs for a German mail order catalog, Otto, Birkenstock, Mouawad, Jordache, swimsuits for
Sports Illustrated and a line of lingerie called "The Body" for Victoria's Secret. On top of all this, she also co-wrote her own biography,
Heidi Klum's Body of Knowledge. When it seemed like this one woman couldn't balance any more skills, she surprised fans when she revealed her amazing voice in a duet with Seal.
