They Had the Looks, They Had the Fame – But What Happened Next?
Christie Brinkley – Born in 1954
Christie Brinkley, the quintessential all-American beauty, skyrocketed to fame in the late 1970s with her unprecedented three consecutive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers from 1979 to 1981. Her sun-kissed blonde hair and radiant smile made her the face of CoverGirl for 25 years, gracing over 500 magazine covers and setting a standard in the modeling industry.
Christie even tried acting. Remember the flirtatious “girl in the red Ferrari” in “National Lampoon’s Vacation?” Nowadays, she continues to inspire with her ageless beauty and zest for life. She’s enjoying life in style at her $30 million Hamptons home, affectionately dubbed the Storybook House, complete with a tower and a 200-year-old bonsai tree.
