Campbell
Learns Softball For Ugly Betty 5/2/08
Super model Naomi Campbell learned to play softball for her cameo role
in U.S.
The catwalk queen plays "a loony who loves to shop and can't find
a man" in the upcoming second series finale which will be aired in
the U.S. on 22 May (08).
Campbell will be seen taking part in a softball match which pitches a
team of models against the show's regular cast.
And Campbell was taught how to play the game before filming and
discovered she has a very powerful swing.
She says, "I was given a crash course in playing softball and at
one point hit the ball so hard it actually broke in half!
"I had a fantastic day on set, the cast and crew were lovely. The
coach said he had never seen anyone pick up the game so quickly."
Campbell follows in the footsteps of Victoria Beckham in appearing in
the programme. Beckham appeared on the show in November (07) when she
played a bridesmaid to Vanessa Williams' catty fashion boss character,
Wilhelmina Slater.
