Christie Brinkley Movies
Having appeared on countless runways and magazine covers (including the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover for three consecutive years),
Christie Brinkley is one of the elite few women in the fashion industry who have earned the title "supermodel." The mother of three held a contract for a staggering 20 years with Cover Girl Cosmetics, and continues to appear in magazine ads for mature skin. Aside from being the inspiration for several of former husband
Billy Joel's songs ("Uptown Girl," "Christie Lee," and "Blonde Over Blue," among others),
Brinkley is known for catching the attention of hapless family man Clark Griswold (
Chevy Chase) in
National Lampoon's Vacation (1983). ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
