Right.  I had never heard of her before she did the Spin City stuff, 
even though in the script everybody was saying things like, "Wow!  
You're going out with Heidi Klum!" as though anybody knew who that 
was.  That's why I thought at first that she was made up--that it 
was an actress (the word "wooden" doesn't begin to address how stiff 
she is) playing a super-model character named "Heidi Klum."  Imagine 
my surprise when I discovered that that was actually her name--that 
she was basically playing herself.  Badly.  Although it's quite 
possible that she is technically fluent in English (native German 
speaker) she always sounded like she was learning her lines 
phonetically.  (There should be a database somewhere of models, 
actors and musicians who have been shown to be incapable of doing a 
believable job of portraying themselves.  There's just something 
very weird about this.)  Main claim to fame seems to be her 
Victoria's Secret work.  They took every opportunity on SC to show 
her in just her underwear, as this is her chief talent.  But then, 
in this day and age, if you can put on your resume, "People like to 
look at me in my underwear," you probably don't need to be able to 
do anything else... ;)
