Christie Brinkley (born 2 February 1954Christie Brinkley is an American supermodel. With her blonde hair and noticeably cleancut and well-chiselled features, she epitomized the beauty ideals of the 1980s yuppie culture.
She was born in Monroe, Michigan to Herbert and Marge Hudson. She was educated at le Lycée Français de Los Angeles and worked in Paris as an entry level illustrator. In 1976 she signed a contract with Cover Girl Cosmetics which they continued to renew for twenty-years, the longest model contract ever. A few years after Cover Girl ended their contract with Christie, they again signed Christie on as a model with ads in magazines and commercials for mature skin products in 2005. She appeared on the cover of three consecutive swimsuit issues (1979-1981). She has been married four times: her first three marriages were to Jean-François Allaux (1973-1981), Billy Joel (1985-1994) and Richard Taubman (1994-1995).
