Supermodel Naomi Campbell, well at least she was one back in the 90′s but I have no idea if she’s still… She’s a stunning beauty, that’s for sure, but… A supermodel? Anyway, Dark Horizons reports that Naomi has scored a role in Spike Lee’s WW2 drama “The Miracle at St. Anna”.

The film deals with a regiment of black soldiers stationed in Tuscany during World War Two. Campbell has confirmed that she had meetings with and just signed a contract with Lee the other day.

Campbell says “It’s a very very small role but it involves subject matter that I’m really passionate about…it’s a subject that nobody has ever touched upon.”

She adds that “There are all the war time films of course but you never see a black soldier in any of them. I’ll do anything for Spike and I really think we should be more educated about the role of people of colour in our history.”

I don’t know if it’s just me but I think it’s reassuring that it’s only a “…very very small role…”. It’s nothing personal Naomi but I haven’t seen that many supermodels making it on the silver screen. But good luck to you.
