Christie Brinkley: Uptown Girl

On this week’s episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by an All-American icon: supermodel, actress and artist, Christie Brinkley, with her new memoir, UPTOWN GIRL. In 1974, a twenty-year-old Christie Brinkley was “discovered” outside a Paris phone booth, which set off an extraordinary 50-year modeling career. Christie has been photographed on six continents, in more than thirty countries and has appeared on more than five hundred magazine covers worldwide. Now, for the first time, Christie shares what life has been like, both in front of and behind the cameras. Christie is a Smile Train ambassador, activist in children's environmental health and wellness, creator and owner of Bellissima wines and prosecco and the clothing line TWRHLL (TOWER HILL), and proud mom of three amazing kids.  Learn more about your ad choices.
