Shawne Fielding
Shawne Fielding (born in El Paso, Texas, United States, on 27 June 1969) is an American-Swiss actress and model who has appeared in US, German, and Swiss television series and movies. Notably, Fielding had been married to Thomas Borer, former Swiss ambassador to Germany, and twice to American billionaire Charles Addison Williams of Sammons Enterprises, her current husband again.
Fielding attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Advertising with a minor in Psychology. She was also Miss Dallas USA and 6th runner-up to Miss Texas USA and Mrs. Dallas America. Fielding won Mrs. Texas America, and was also the 3rd runner-up at Mrs. America.
Though born in Texas, Fielding became strongly integrated into Swiss society, and has been featured in the Carnival of Basel.
On 12 August 2001, at the Marche-Concours in Saignelegier, where she was present as an official ambassador of the Swiss National Exhibition, she was presented by the Jurassic Béliers with the Unspunnenstein, which had been stolen by the Beliers in 1984 from the Museum of the Jungfrau Region in Interlaken.
Fielding received the Unspunnenstein, a large stone of Swiss historical significance used in the Unspunnenfest that led to the final formation of Switzerland’s 26 cantons.
In addition, Fielding's portrait and clothing are displayed in the National History Museum, Berlin, the Swiss National Museum, and the Audrey Hepburn Museum. She has also been named as a cult figure (Kultfigur) in Europe.
From 1999 to 2014, Fielding was married for the second time to Thomas Borer. The couple gained much media attention in Germany and Switzerland, with Fielding continuing to be in the media long after the "Borer Affair". Her photo gallery, for example as "Cowgirl from the Alps", as "Cinderella", and as "Gunslinger" in the journal Max, led in 2001 to diplomatic complications, in the course of which the dismissal of Thomas Borer as ambassador loomed. After an apology from Fielding, the affair was, however, shelved. Fielding also caused a sensation when she took legal action against a photomontage showing her scantily dressed and "topless", which had even gained attention at a White House press briefing. She won her lawsuit against the publication in the Berlin district court, and the court banned another reprint of the controversial photos in 2001.
During the Borer affair, in which the Sonntagsblick newspaper imputed her then husband in an illicit sexual affair with the Berlin-based Djamila Rowe, she stood by her husband. Subsequently, she suffered a miscarriage in 2002 and lost their child. The Swiss government recalled their ambassador in Germany back to Bern under the impression that he could no longer fulfill his duties as a philandering media spectacle. He was subsequently recalled to Bern to become the ambassador-at-large for refugee camps. Borer escaped the imminent recall by his own resignation.
