Uptown girl : a memoir  Cover Image Book Book

Uptown girl : a memoir / Christie Brinkley with Sarah Toland.

Brinkley, Christie, (author.). Toland, Sarah, (author.).

Summary:

In 1974, a twenty-year-old Christie Brinkley was "discovered" outside a Paris phone booth, which set off a meteoric modeling career that would land her on the covers of hundreds of magazines and cement her legacy as an All-American icon. Although she's lived more thanfifty years in the public eye, the full story of her roller-coasterlife has never been told. Now, for the first time, Christie shares what life has been like, both in front of and behind the cameras, considering the girl she was alongside the woman she has become. Her stories are as heartening as they are eye-opening, as she recounts her most formative chapters, including the betrayal by her biological father as a child, her lifelong passion for art, her whirlwind career, her four tumultuous marriages including her heartbreaking divorce from Billy Joel and the harrowing experiences that almost cut her life short. Through it all, Christie s unwavering belief in the magic and mystery of life has been her guiding light, even during her darkest times. It is with this grace and gratitude that she tenderly chronicles the unexpected, unexplainable ways her life has unfolded, embracing every adventure and twist of fate along the way: traveling the world as a supermodel at the height of the model wars, living life on the road with her rock-star husband and their baby, starring in blockbuster movies and hit sitcoms, riding horses with cowboys, training with world-champion boxers, and even stepping into the spotlight on Broadway. This is the brave account of a life lived at full throttle and on full display.
