"If
you're not English, you're a foreigner - so you
must be sexy. it's an old British cliche." |

Claudia
began her career in showbusiness after being discovered
in a beauty pagent. When the scouts saw her they instantly
fell in love with her and hired her and at the young age
of 17 she began her acting career. Before that she went
to school for interpretation in Rome, Italy. When she
won the beauty pagent and went to Venice on a free trip.
Shortly after that the offers poured in and she began
acting full time. She signed up to a restrictive contract
that didn't allow her to cut her hair short or have any
children or even gain a single pound. Any violation to
this contract and she wouldn't be paid.

This
was too much for her and she decided to have a son outside
of marriage and not tell the studio about it. She kept
her pregancy a secret and when the baby arrived she told
everyone that he was her baby brother instead of her son.
She kept this secret until her film career was more established
and finally told everyone when her son was nineteen years
of age. Claudia always had trouble speaking proper English
and she would have been even more popular if she had learned
to speak it better. But overall her career is a big success.
