Writer, Model, and Television Presenter. Born Peaches Honeyblossom Geldof, the daughter of musician Bob Geldof and Paula Yates. After her parents divorced when she was seven, her father retained custody the children; her mother died in 2000 following a heroin overdose. At the age of 15, she began writing a column for Elle magazine. She left home at 16, supporting herself by contributing to the Telegraph and the Guardian. She wrote and presented her own documentary TV program, 'Peaches Geldof: Teenage Mind' in 2005, followed by 'Peaches Geldof: Teen America.' In 2007, she made her catwalk debut for PPQ Clothing at London Fashion Week. She moved to New York in 2008, where she co-founded the pop culture magazine 'Disappear Here' with James Brown, but a British newspaper reported she was removed as editor of the magazine after one issue. That same year, she married rock musician Max Drummey, the marriage lasted for six months. In 2009, she was tapped as the face of Miss Ultimo Lingerie, but was dropped a year later after allegations of drug abuse. In 2011, she presented a six-part series on ITV2, 'OMG! with Peaches Geldof.' She married Tom Cohen in 2012, with whom she had two children. Two years later, she was found dead in their country house. A coroner's inquest returned a verdict of a drug-related death, adding that the years she spent overcoming her addiction to heroine lowered her tolerance to the drug; what was previously a standard dosage for her turned in to a fatal overdose.
