A Memoir of Supermodel Stardom, Tumultuous Marriages, and Embracing Life's Adventures

Uptown Girl

This spring, Christie Brinkley will release her memoir, "Uptown Girl," chronicling her life from her rise to supermodel stardom to her acting career and marriages. The book aims to inspire readers to create the life they desire, not through fortune or fame, but by embracing adventure and finding magic in every moment.

Brinkley's journey began when she was discovered in Paris by photographer Errol Sawyer. Since then, she has graced the covers of countless magazines, including Sports Illustrated and Vogue. Beyond modeling, she has starred in films like National Lampoon's Vacation, played Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago, and even appeared in the music video for Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl," a song inspired by both Brinkley and fellow supermodel Elle Macpherson.

Brinkley has been married four times, most recently to Peter Cook, whom she divorced in 2008. In "Uptown Girl," she reflects on her whirlwind career, her four marriages, including the heartbreaking divorce from Billy Joel, and the harrowing experiences, such as a 1994 helicopter crash, that nearly took her life.

The memoir promises to be a captivating journey through Brinkley's life, embracing every adventure and twist of fate. From her travels as a supermodel during the height of the "model wars" to life on the road with her rock star husband and their baby, starring in blockbuster movies, riding horses with cowboys, training with world-champion boxers, and even stepping into the spotlight on Broadway, "Uptown Girl" promises to be an inspiring and insightful read.
