Supermodels Who Became Famous The Year You Were Born

12. Christie Brinkley – 1981

Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley outdid the history of Cheryl Tiegs (who appeared on two covers of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues) by appearing on the cover three times consecutively. She also copped the face of CoverGirl for 25 years. Christie was much like Cheryl at the time who didn’t see herself entering the fashion or modeling industries but was discovered by her beauty and natural poise. The fashion world discovered her in 1973. In addition to modeling, she is even also an actress and appears in numerous music videos.
