A world-famous supermodel, actress, and entrepreneur, Christie Brinkley was born as Christie Lee Hudson in Monroe, Michigan in 1954, and was raised in Southern California. She was first discovered in 1973 by American photographer Errol Sawyer in a post office in Paris. She was a surfer girl at heart and had never thought about modeling.

Sawyer snapped her first modeling pictures and introduced her to John Casablanca of Elite Model Management agency in Paris who then signed Brinkley and launched her now-legendary modeling career. She appeared on Sports Illustrated and thousands of other magazines and even starred in the famous movies, National Lampoon’s Vacation and its sequel, Vegas Vacation, with Chevy Chase and an all-star cast.
