Heather Mills, born in 1968 in Washington, Tyne and Wear, England, is no stranger to adversity. Her father, Mark, a former paratrooper, was abusive towards Heather and her family. When Heather's mother managed to escape, nine-year-old Heather was left to care for her younger brother and sister whilst living with their father.
When Heather was 13, her father was imprisoned for fraud, and Heather went to live with her mother and her mother's new boyfriend, with whom the young teenager didn't get along. Headstrong Heather soon ran away to live on the street. Later, she was arrested for stealing jewelry from the London store where she worked, and she was put on probation.
When Heather was 18, she met British computer exec Alfie Karmal. He encouraged her to start modeling, which she did after winning a modeling competition. Soon enough, she decided to make her way behind the scenes and started her own modeling agency, ExSell management, in 1986. Heather married Karmal when she was 21, but the marriage failed shortly afterward. In the early 1990s, Heather moved to Yugoslavia to become a ski instructor. When civil war broke out in the Balkans, Heather was inspired to help, and set up a refugee crisis center in London, donated her modeling income to help relief efforts, and traveled back and forth between England, Austria and Yugoslavia. |
