At the Miss World 1959 pageant, few hours before the announcement of the winner; Corine discovered holes in her evening dress. Miss Israel, Ziva Shomrat was kind enough to lend her an evening dress and it so happened that Corine was adjudged the winner and Miss Israel finished third in the competition.[4] In 1962 she married architect and later politician Edo Spier [nl].[5]
In 1964, after a successful international career in #modeling, she founded the #model agency Corine's Agency in #Amsterdam which was the first professional #modelagency in the# Netherlands. The agency ran into trouble, because that kind of job placement wasn't allowed at the time. Rottschäfer appealed her case all the way to the Supreme Court, and forced the law to be changed. In 1994 Miss Holland pageant she and #AngelaVisser were judges at #MissHolland pageant. She ran the agency until her retirement in 2002.
