Verona Feldbusch

Biography

Verona Feldbusch was born April 30th, 1968, in La Paz, Bolivia. The youngest of 3 -- with 2 older brothers -- Verona is the daughter of a technician and a hairdresser. Already showing a penchant for fashion, a young Verona spent time doing needlework as a child, and she had sewn her first dress by the age of 6 (with her mother's help).

Verona's career began when she went to Paris where she tried to become a model. In 1992, she wins her first "MISS" title as "MISS HAMBURG'92". In the same year she opens a boutique called "IMMERSCHÖN"(=alwaysbeautiful), in Hamburg, Germany), with her best friend. In 1993, Verona became "MISS GERMANY" and a little bit later she became "MISS INTERCONTINENTAL WORLD".

She made her television debut as the host of the series Peep!, and created quite a fan following in her 4 years on the show. It even inspired the creation of the late-night talk show, Verona's World; but her television duties don't end here.

Verona appeared in the action/thriller S.O.S. Barracuda 2 in 1995, as well as the Made-for-TV movie, Die Blaue Kanone in 1999. She also made guest appearances on Conan in 1998 and TV Total a year later.

The German sex symbol appeared as herself in the 1999 documentary, Modern Talking, and starred as Miss Pustle in the comedy, 2001: A Space Travesty, which co-starred Leslie Nielsen and the beautiful Ophelie Winter. Giving reality television a shot, she made guest-appearances on the popular "peeping Tom" show, Big Brother, in both the 2000 and 2001 seasons. Making an appearance on the big screen, Verona had a bit part in the Sylvester Stallone racecar flick, Driven, in 2001.

Today, Verona can be seen in many German commercials, for example for spinach, information services and the world exhibition 2000 in Hannover, Germany (together with Sir Peter Ustinov!). She has become one of the most famous (and most disputed) women in Germany.
