[edit] Early life & career
Brinkley was born in Monroe,
Michigan, even though she has claimed to have been born & raised in California.
Majoring in art & graduating in 1972, Christie attended Palisades High School
in Pacific Palisades, California. In the early 1970s, she & her family lived
in the Bel Air hills with an English sheep dog named Shakespeare. She was educated
at le Lycée Français de Los Angeles & worked in Paris as an entry-level
illustrator.
In 1976, she signed a contract with cosmetics giant Cover Girl, which they continued to renew for twenty years. A few years after Cover Girl ended their contract with Brinkley, they again signed her on as a model with ads in magazines & commercials for mature skin products in 2005. She appeared on the cover of three consecutive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues (1979 – 1981).

Personal life
Brinkley had a romantic relationship with Olivier Chandon de
Brailles, heir to the Moët-Chandon Champagne fortune. Chandon died in 1983
in an auto racing accident. The two first met in 1982 at Studio 54 in New York
City at a party promoting a calendar in which Christie appeared.
Brinkley has been married 4 times. Her first three marriages were to artist Jean-François Allaux (1973–1981), musician Billy Joel (1985–1994) & developer Richard Taubman (1994–1995). Her fourth husband is Peter Cook, an architect, whom she married in 1996. Brinkley filed for divorce from Cook in the summer of 2006 after news spread that he conducted an alleged extramarital affair with teenager Diana Bianchi.
Brinkley has three children: daughter Alexa Ray (b. December 29, 1986) with Joel, son Jack Paris (b. June 2, 1995) with Taubman, & daughter Sailor Lee (b. July 2, 1998) with Cook.
She is a supporter of animal rights & long time PETA member. She has spoken out against the Ringling Brothers Circus on behalf of PETA.
After hurting her back while on a ski trip in Aspen, Colorado in December 2006, Brinkley was forced to undergo emergency back surgery in February 2007 since the injury had worsened in the days preceding the surgery.[1]

Songs
The song "Uptown Girl" was written about her by her then husband,
Billy Joel. It was conceived as Joel wondered aloud how the gorgeous Christie
Brinkley could wind up with a guy like him.
The songs "All About Soul,"
"Blonde Over Blue," "Shameless," & "Christie Lee"
were also written by Billy Joel with Christie Brinkley in mind.
