About this listen

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 than fifty years in the public eye, the full story of her roller-coaster life 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 she experienced 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.

A bighearted, beautifully crafted memoir of resilience and self-discovery, Uptown Girl is the brave account of a life lived at full throttle and on full display.

I have only known bits and pieces about her life and of course as Uptown Girl and Cover Girl model. What a fascinating life she tells about. It is so ironic that one of this the most beautiful women in the world has endured so much heartache by men. Yet she is still so optimistic about life. And she has a great voice for audio books.

Wow what a life

The empowering girl with the big smile. Listening to the girl whom I have always admired and caught many glimpses of as a young teen. Living close by and watching her in Lloyd harbor, I would dream of what it would be like to be that beautiful and that successful, never knowing her true reality. Now hearing her tell her stories I just want to thank her for let us in. To thank her for being so genuine and honest, when she didn’t have to. Bravo to her for not letting all life through at her steal her smile and her true inner beauty!
I had the honor of being at a charity event in Aspen this past February, where I got to personally meet you and your beautiful children Jack and Sailor. I was star stuck and nervous and nonetheless you were sweet, kind and gracious! This was a wonderful listen!

I liked the book, but it black depth, and just glosses over things.
If you’ve been married four times, it’s time to look within. I love Christie but she takes no accountability for her choices with men.

I loved learning more about Christie Brinkley and her amazing life thus far. Traveling the world, being a super model, mom, friend and wife and her love for art, horses and the great outdoors. I would agree with her lawyer, She is not a “good picker”, though a hopeless romantic that will not give up on Love❤️! Keep writing your own script Christie! I loved listening to your book.

Great life story!

Huge autobiography fan and have followed Christie her entire life so I enjoy the story. Typically I prefer an autobiography read by the author but not this one. The over performance nearly made this a DNF for me. The whispery voice, over inflection is too much. Just read, don’t act.
