GERI HALLIWELL
Name: Geri Halliwell
Birth name: Geraldine Estelle Halliwell
Also known as Ginger Spice, Geri, Ginger
Born: 6 August 1972 Watford, Hertfordshire, England
Geraldine Estelle "Geri" Halliwell (born 6 August 1972) is an English pop singer,
songwriter, television personality, writer, and actress, who became famous (under
the nickname "Ginger Spice") in the late 1990s as a member of the girl group the
Spice Girls. As solo artist she has received 4 Brit Award nominations and
released four number-one singles in UK and sold about four million albums
worldwide.
Halliwell was born to Lawrence Halliwell, who was of Swedish descent, and his
wife Ana Maria (nee Hidalgo), of Spanish descent, and grew up in Watford,
Hertfordshire. For a brief time, Halliwell's mother tried to bring her up as
a Jehovah's witness. Before starting her music career, Halliwell had worked as a
nightclub dancer in Majorca, Spain, a model and presenter on the Turkish
version of Let's Make a Deal and as a glamour model. Following her rise
to fame with the Spice Girls, nude photos of Halliwell were re-published in a
number of top-shelf magazines, including Club International in the UK. During
the documentary Spice Girls: Giving You Everything broadcast on UK
television on 31 December 2007, Halliwell repeated her claim to have only done 'harmless,
topless shots', despite extensive evidence to the contrary, including pictures
in her own autobiography.
