Christie Brinkley

Actor/Actress

Widely regarded as one of the world’s most successful models, Christie Brinkley is the only person in history to sign a 25-year contract and is considered the face of CoverGirl. She’s graced 500 magazine covers, including Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, US, Newsweek, Esquire, Rolling Stone, Vogue, and Life—the latter, being the best-selling issue in the publication’s history. Known for being ageless, Brinkley continues to model and create products about health and beauty, including her New York Times bestseller, Christie Brinkley’s Outdoor Beauty and Fitness Book.

When Brinkley was in Paris, a photographer brought her to Elite Model Management. Soon after, she was booked for several national campaigns. Particularly, she’s recognized for her work in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues—being the first to appear on the cover three consecutive years. The magazine brought her back for 40th and 50th anniversary issues and featured her in an exclusive calendar. Her modeling fame led to myriad contracts, including Chanel No. 19, Revlon, Vogue Patterns, and countless others. With over three decades as a top Ford model and photoshoots in over thirty countries, it’s no wonder she’s been named “One of the Most Attractive Women of All Time” by Men’s Health, Playboy, and Allure.

Brinkley’s beauty tips led to a four-part segment on the Today Show, and the success of it helped her start her own CNN show, Living in the 90s—With Christie Brinkley. Additionally, she offers original beauty products, ranging from skincare, eyewear, perfume, jewelry, and even wigs.

Outside of beauty, Brinkley is an award-winning actress. She debuted on Broadway, the West End, and toured nationally as Roxie Hart in the musical, Chicago. Other notable guest-star appearances include National Lampoon’s Vacation, ABC’s The Goldbergs, NBC’s Parks and Recreation, and numerous music videos for Billy Joel, including “Uptown Girl.”
