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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

TBH I didn’t follow Christie’s career or personal stories in the news so much of the content in this book was completely new to me. However, I enjoyed being taken along on her adventures, getting to know her as a person rather than just a celebrity, and being privy to her gratefulness and zest for life.
Thank you, Christie, for bravely telling your tales. Here’s to more magic in everyday life. ✨🌺🤗

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!

I loved that even though we often think that models and celebrities have it easy, they endure hardships, failures and even get cheated on like the rest of us common people. She has not always had everything handed to her and she has created some interesting people along the way.

I grew up in the 1980s seeing Christie Brinkley always as a very successful, yet always gracious and approachable model, but learning who she really is as a person is incredibly uplifting and inspiring…I am truly savoring her each chapter of her exciting audiobook and I don’t want it to end ~ What a class act and fine person !

This book resonated deeply with me, her vulnerability, honesty and humor is so genuine, I listened to the audiobook and often felt like I was walking with a kindred spirit who was sharing the most incredible stories!! Christie and I crossed paths a couple of times, I worked at the ranch she kept her horses at in Montauk, it was the summer before I set out on a solo backpacking adventure around the world. A conversation we had that I will never forget, she said “ you will be amazed at the world that is about to open up for you, you will be able to connect to anyone anywhere because the world will be so much smaller.” It was truly enlightening. This is Leigh btw

What a wild ride! Christie is vulnerable, clever and funny!
