And this day, as I was
0:05
rushing in to call my vet,
0:08
I literally smashed
0:10
right into Eryl Sawyer, the photographer
0:14
who had seen me there before
0:17
and had a client who
0:19
was looking for California
0:23
sporty, California type girl.
0:25
And so that's how it happened.
0:30
Hi, everyone, I'm Kitty Kuric, And this is
0:32
next question. Of
0:36
course, everyone knows who
0:38
Christy Brinkley is, right, Sports
0:40
Illustrated, swimsuit model
0:43
multiple times, Billy
0:45
Joel's uptown girl. But
0:48
there's so many things that you probably
0:51
don't know about Christy Brinkley,
0:53
Like she had a very abusive biological
0:56
father until Don
0:58
Brinkley came to the rescue
1:00
and loved her unconditionally. That
1:03
she's had a number of
1:06
love affairs, one that ended
1:08
in tragedy, to where
1:10
the guys were just awful
1:12
people. It turns out anyway,
1:15
she's got quite a life
1:17
story. She's also incredibly
1:20
talented. She's a great artist.
1:22
She can sing, she speaks fluent French.
1:25
She was roxy Heart in Chicago
1:27
on Broadway. I mean, who just
1:29
is able to do that? I
1:32
think after you hear this conversation with
1:34
Christy Brinkley, you're going to fall
1:36
in love with her. I'm kind of obsessed
1:38
with her myself, so much so that I
1:41
spent an hour and twenty five minutes
1:43
talking with her. Don't worry, everybody, before
1:45
you freak out. We did edit it down, but
1:48
here's my conversation with the one and
1:50
only Christy Brinkley about
1:52
her new memoir Uptown Girl.
1:56
Okay, I want to get started, because I know you've
1:58
got a million things going on. Christy. First
2:00
of all, thank you for doing this. I'm very
2:02
excited to talk to you. You know
2:04
what a huge fan I am of you.
2:07
Oh well, likewise,
2:09
I mean, Katie, I have to say you're
2:12
doing such an amazing job right
2:14
now with what's going on in the world,
2:16
you know, and everybody seems
2:18
like so afraid to speak up, and you're speaking
2:21
up in like you're bold and
2:23
you're amazing, and I applaud
2:26
you and I thank you well.
2:27
I love getting your dms, and I'm
2:30
always like Christy's on it. She
2:32
cares as much as I do, So thank
2:35
you for that. Because the whole team
2:37
that's here listening to that nice
2:39
comment, Christy, they're the people who are
2:41
helping me every day.
2:43
So thank you team, because
2:45
boy oh boy, we are up against.
2:47
It, I know, and I'll maybe ask you
2:49
a political question at the end, but let's sell some
2:51
books.
2:52
Let's sell some books.
2:54
Okay. So Christy, the first
2:56
question I have for you is why
2:58
now? Why did you decid, you know what,
3:01
it's time for me to write my life story.
3:03
I'm seventy one. If I don't do
3:06
it now, when am I ever
3:08
going to do it? You know, I
3:10
had started it before. Actually,
3:13
Stephen Gaines was working with me a little
3:15
bit on it, and he immediately
3:17
said, the title of the book is Uptown Girl,
3:20
period, nothing to discuss. And
3:22
then I was like, I want to do this. Who
3:25
wants to read a story about me? And so then
3:27
I just was like, eh, I
3:29
don't need to do it. And
3:31
in fact, when I went into HarperCollins,
3:34
I was like, I know I have a book in me, but part
3:36
of me thinks that the book is a Nancy
3:38
Meyers movie. And because
3:42
I've got the real estate,
3:45
the wardrobe, the crazy
3:47
xs and once you get
3:49
out of the divorce, it's funny, you
3:52
know, I mean, especially
3:55
my last one.
3:56
There's so much to laugh about that
3:58
one, even though at the time weren't doing
4:00
a lot of laughing.
4:01
Even though at the time, I felt like
4:04
I was going to die Like.
4:05
Well, I should point out for people
4:07
who don't know you, you've got an incredible
4:10
sense of humor, this extraordinary
4:12
ability to laugh at yourself. And
4:15
when you were deciding, you know, I'm going to put
4:17
my life down, what were
4:19
the animating ideas that
4:22
you had. Did you say, I'm going to
4:24
be just brutally honest. That's what I
4:26
did with my book. My husband said, do not
4:28
write a book unless you can be totally
4:30
honest.
4:31
And a great title for your book
4:33
that delivered that message.
4:35
You know, what's the point of kind of sugarcoating
4:37
things after you've lived a life with
4:40
good, bad, ups and downs. Yeah,
4:42
you know what, what did you think about when you
4:44
said I'm going to write my book?
4:46
What was your guiding principle? I guess I
4:49
don't even know if I really had one.
4:51
First I had to decide if it was going to be
4:54
a Nancy Meyer's comedy or
4:57
a sweet story of my
4:59
days and pairs, you know. And
5:01
then once Lisa Sharky wrote me a letter
5:04
the publisher at HarperCollins,
5:06
and she convinced me that my life
5:09
story needed telling, and
5:11
so I started it. Actually
5:14
with a writer, a
5:17
guy, and it didn't
5:19
sound like me at all. And I
5:21
also have to mention I have kept
5:24
journals for sixty
5:26
years. I had started,
5:28
like, you know, sort of cleaning things up,
5:30
and I came across my journals that was
5:32
really the thing that said I've
5:35
got to tell a story. Because I
5:37
left to Paris to be an artist, and
5:39
then when I became a model, I had
5:42
no time to be an artist, so my art
5:44
shrank and I got a repetiograph,
5:47
which is a very fine point pin, and
5:50
I would do these little drawings
5:52
in my journal, like Beulah's
5:54
restaurant in e Lucera and
5:57
the whole crew sitting around the table, and
6:00
I think, someday I'll do a big canvas
6:02
with this and I'll paint it. But
6:05
my life hasn't slowed down to be able
6:07
to do that yet. But someday
6:09
I'll paint that meantime,
6:13
that kind of became the book.
6:16
Then I started working with a female writer, Sarah
6:18
Toland, who I worked with, and
6:21
we started sort of culling the stories
6:24
because at seventy one, your
6:26
life just doesn't fit in a book. It just
6:28
does not fit in There's so many
6:31
adventures that I couldn't put
6:33
in there. Maybe another book.
6:35
Yeah, well, you put a lot of
6:37
great stuff in there, so many
6:40
great stories, and you're right. I mean, you
6:42
had a treasure trove of
6:44
source material, including letters
6:46
you'd written to your mom and dad from
6:48
Paris. But you also had
6:51
to I think, excavate
6:53
a lot of childhood memories that I think
6:56
were really painful and I felt so terrible
7:00
out your childhood up
7:02
to the age of eight. Your biological
7:05
father was this guy named Herb Hudson,
7:08
and he was a
7:10
real jackass and abusive
7:13
to you. Talk about what
7:15
that was like, because I
7:18
was really upset
7:20
to read what you had
7:22
to endure as a little girl. He terrified
7:25
you.
7:25
Yeah, he You
7:28
know, writing the book, there are lots
7:31
of parts of the book that I didn't
7:33
really want to write about, And
7:35
I can get choked up even thinking about
7:38
that, because you know, I
7:41
just didn't really want to ever write about
7:44
it. But I guess I also didn't really
7:46
want to think about it. I never
7:48
did think about it in my life because my
7:50
mom also didn't want to think about it. And
7:53
once we met my dad,
7:56
who, you know, the
7:58
greatest dad in.
7:59
The world, Don Brinkley.
8:01
Don Brinkley. Once we met him,
8:03
you know, everything change, but we
8:06
also pretended as though
8:09
the other life never even existed. And
8:12
because of that, I think I
8:14
had buried a lot of those memories. So
8:17
when I did have to try
8:19
and remember the
8:22
things that were popping into my head,
8:24
which were things that
8:26
I didn't want to remember. Unfortunately,
8:29
the things that stood out were
8:32
his belt, you know, his whipping
8:34
me with it, one of my other
8:36
childhood memories when I was singing
8:39
into the microphone. You know, I remembered
8:41
that, I think because it was also
8:43
there was pain attached to it, you.
8:45
Know, and he would wash your mouth
8:47
out with soap, and you
8:49
know, you would basically be terrified
8:52
about him coming home from
8:55
work. You said, he used to look for excuses
8:58
to punish you, and you know, looking
9:00
back on it, I'm curious
9:02
if you and I know
9:04
you and your mom just kind of basically
9:07
blocked it out. But do you
9:09
have any better understanding, Christy, about
9:11
what made him the person he
9:14
was and why he did that to you? And
9:16
did he do the same thing to your brother?
9:19
You know, I really don't know.
9:21
I remember. All I can remember
9:23
about my brother was that he got a lot of really,
9:26
really bad headaches, which
9:28
my mom thought was because he was stressed
9:30
from her putson. But
9:33
I can't really speak to what you
9:36
know, he felt. But my
9:39
mom would mention things
9:41
every now and then occasionally, and
9:44
I used to say to her because she didn't
9:46
have anything nice to say, and I used to say
9:48
to her, you know what, Mom, I
9:51
don't like thinking that I
9:53
made out of part
9:56
of that horrible person. And I'd
9:58
rather just not hear about it, because then it
10:00
makes me feel like, am I going to be mean
10:03
like that? You know? Am I going to be evil like that?
10:06
So even if she did feel like
10:08
speaking to me at that moment, I
10:11
didn't want to speak about it.
10:14
Right.
10:14
We didn't really psychoanalyze what
10:17
was going on with him. We didn't spend
10:20
much time talking about it. All I
10:22
can surmise is that, you know, I
10:24
really felt like my life with
10:27
him was this black
10:29
and white movie that you
10:32
know when the film breaks and then you're in a new
10:34
phase of the life, you know, like I have a little
10:37
I have a little memory of once
10:39
we went to Disneyland in California,
10:42
and I really really
10:45
really wanted to go on that auto ride
10:47
where you get to drive the cars, but
10:49
to a point in the line. Seemed
10:51
like we were waiting for so long in the line,
10:53
and they left
10:56
me to hold the place
10:58
in line, and then they went to
11:01
go get some drinks or something like
11:03
that. Right, And as soon
11:05
as I got to the place in the line where I could
11:07
see the cars, I got so mesmerized
11:09
by the cars I forgot to keep moving
11:12
and I was just like staring
11:14
at this car, like are my feet going to fit
11:16
the pedal? And what do I do when I get to
11:18
that turn? I was really like, and I'm
11:21
going to speed on that part, you know. I was like really into
11:23
it. And suddenly I was like broken
11:26
out of my reverie by him
11:28
grabbing my arm and going, why
11:31
didn't you move? You didn't move?
11:33
The line moved. We were behind those people
11:35
way up there, you know, And
11:38
so he pulled me out and said, you're not
11:40
going on. And those are the kind
11:42
of memories that I have of my childhood
11:45
with him, So no wonder.
11:47
I didn't want to think about it.
11:49
And yeah, you know, but everything changed
11:51
when you were eight. He gave up his parental
11:54
rights and Don Brinkley,
11:56
who really is your dad? Yes, for
11:58
all intents and purpose, has stepped in
12:01
and you couldn't understand why
12:03
your biological father was abandoning
12:06
you basically, But in retrospect,
12:08
thank god that that happened.
12:10
Yes, at the time, it
12:13
was confusing because on
12:15
the one hand, I really didn't want
12:18
to see him on his visitations,
12:21
so it was a relief in a way. But I
12:23
also thought that
12:25
I was unlovable, you.
12:28
Know, and even if someone
12:30
is a horrible father, there
12:32
is that biological pull
12:35
and you always want to understand
12:38
why they don't love you right as much
12:41
as anything. So I'm
12:43
sure you just felt this terrible
12:45
confusion about why he
12:48
was so willing to give you up.
12:50
Yeah. Well, I also lived with the constant
12:53
threat that he was going to send me to the orphanage.
12:56
And I don't know about you, but I
12:58
loved Shirley Temple movie
13:00
and it seemed like Shirley Temple was always
13:03
being sent to an orphanage. So I
13:05
thought that was like a fate
13:08
so terrible. I was truly
13:10
terrified of that, of being
13:12
sent to the orphanage. I remember when he came
13:15
in the room, I just kind of
13:17
hold steel, like, don't
13:19
do anything wrong, because you'll
13:21
end up in the orphanage.
13:23
How do you think you know, I'm sure
13:25
you've thought about this, but how do you
13:27
think he shaped you ultimately?
13:30
I mean, thank god, Dom Brinkley stepped
13:32
in and was the total opposite
13:35
and loved you unconditionally. But you
13:37
must think back of those extremely formative
13:40
years and young life
13:42
experiences and wonder,
13:45
gosh, what do you think that did to
13:47
me as an adult?
13:48
I think that luckily, you know,
13:51
my most formative memories I
13:53
think came because my life
13:56
was so vivid and so full
13:58
of life and color. And I
14:01
mean, Don Brinkley was just the most
14:03
amazing man, the greatest man,
14:06
truly he was. He
14:08
was like a saint in a way. I mean,
14:11
at the end of his life he
14:14
had scoliosis
14:16
ann Parkinson's and
14:19
the two are a terrible combination because
14:22
it crunched him down so he really
14:25
couldn't breathe, and you know, and
14:27
ended up that he couldn't talk because he had to get
14:29
a feeding to be breathing,
14:31
you know, like it was. It was
14:34
so awful, and he never
14:37
he never complained. He
14:39
would it was a rigmarole to get
14:41
the word. But then it would make you laugh
14:44
or make you smile, and
14:47
that was what he did. He
14:49
was unbelievable,
14:52
unbelievable from the very beginning.
14:55
He could have a deadline, you know, for a
14:57
script do but if
14:59
I need his help with homework, he was there
15:01
for me. I'm so choked up because I'm
15:03
so moved, But my
15:06
good fortune, my parents
15:09
were amazing, and so I
15:12
think I made a conscious choice
15:14
to escape that part of my life and to leave
15:16
it behind and not even try
15:18
to think about it, not try
15:20
and psycho analyze it, but instead
15:23
focus on the great
15:25
part of my life that blossomed in
15:27
front of me, you know, this great
15:30
technicolor adventure that
15:32
he gave our family. He
15:35
had apartment in Malibu on
15:37
the beach on Old Malibu Road, and
15:40
all of a sudden we were, you know, able
15:42
to wake up and run
15:44
downstairs and be at the beach
15:47
and find pebbles and
15:50
stones, and there
15:52
was another rock we call Peer Rock
15:54
and Volcano Rock a little further. That's
15:57
where our forts were, you know, and of course
15:59
in the posts behind the houses and
16:01
stuff. But it was
16:03
like this whole new world and the hillsides
16:06
behind us before Pepper dyed, before
16:08
all of that, I knew every nook and cranny,
16:10
you know, every canyon, every little waterfall,
16:13
every little thing. You know, it
16:16
was just pure magic.
16:18
It was amazing. So rather
16:20
than psychoanalyzed, like when
16:23
I first started writing my book and I tell
16:25
the story about the day I flew over
16:27
the cornfield, the first
16:29
writer that I was working with really
16:32
wanted to psychoanalyze that moment,
16:35
and I said, no, No, life
16:38
is so full of things that we
16:40
don't understand. I
16:42
don't want to see backstage at Disneyland.
16:45
I just want to see the magic. I
16:47
just want that part.
16:49
The cornfield was when you were escaping
16:51
mentally, and you would imagine
16:54
yourself flying over a
16:56
cornfield to escape your
16:59
terrible, abusive father. But
17:01
I'm glad you included that because
17:04
I think, in contrast, your
17:07
dad don gave you everything,
17:10
and it made you appreciate
17:12
the gift of unconditional love
17:15
that we should all be so
17:17
lucky to have that. Sadly, so
17:19
many people aren't. And I
17:22
feel the same way about my parents. You
17:24
know that I never, for one second
17:26
of my life doubted for
17:29
one nano second that they didn't
17:31
love me unconditionally
17:33
and completely, and that I
17:35
think you realize as you get older what
17:37
a gift that is, and how sad
17:40
it is that not everyone has that.
17:42
Oh yeah, absolutely
17:44
absolutely.

18:14
I want to fast forward, though we have so much
18:16
to cover, and I know we don't have tons
18:18
of time, but we hopefully have more time to
18:20
talk about how you went to Paris at
18:23
nineteen tell us about
18:25
becoming an artist. I know Alexa
18:28
describes you as kind of bohemian,
18:30
but what prompted you to decide
18:32
I'm going to Paris, I'm going to be an
18:35
artist. I'm going to live this life.
18:37
I just always felt
18:40
it, I knew it.
18:42
I always just had this dream
18:45
that I would
18:48
live in a little garrett in
18:50
Paris. I would wear my beret.
18:53
There's a very cute photo of you in your
18:55
beret. I know, yes,
18:58
and everything was pointing
19:00
me towards that. I remember the film
19:03
Le de Cherbourg came
19:05
out, The Umbrellas of Sherbro
19:07
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg with
19:10
Catherine.
19:10
De Geneve, and
19:13
my dad got me the album,
19:15
and so I would put the needle back
19:18
and I would sing along, Oh
19:20
trefoi game unfarm
19:24
noon, then a pal ou
19:26
la pelle lola, oh
19:29
t hepiubi.
19:34
You know, I was like, I
19:36
was just like. I loved
19:38
the music, I loved the language,
19:42
and I just had to get
19:44
into the thick of it. If it was the last
19:46
thing I did so, I
19:48
don't know. But when
19:50
the opportunity presented and
19:53
California was no longer big enough
19:56
for the two of us, I had
19:58
a break up with my boyfriend, and so
20:01
I decided I'll show
20:04
him. I'll fly away.
20:06
And you did. You flew away to
20:08
Paris. And I'm going
20:10
to talk about your first love
20:13
or your first marriage in a moment. But it
20:15
was in Paris that you were discovered
20:17
by photographer Eryl Sawyer.
20:20
Tell me how he discovered you and how
20:22
that happened.
20:24
Well, I was living in the garret
20:26
under the rooftops. I had fallen in love
20:28
already with Chaffausseus,
20:30
a French artist, an amazing
20:33
artist, really really great, and
20:36
he got drafted into the French military,
20:39
and so we got this little
20:41
dog to keep me company. The little
20:43
dog was sick, so I would put
20:45
the little dog in a little pannier, you know, over
20:48
my shoulder and go into
20:50
the telephoning office because in my little
20:52
garret, my little latitier, I
20:55
did not have a shower, or
20:58
a bathroom or a
21:00
telephone. So I went a
21:02
couple blocks away to the Bampoublique,
21:05
the public baths, and I
21:07
used the telephone a couple of blocks over,
21:10
and I would call the vet, and I was calling
21:12
him almost daily because my
21:14
dog was sick. And this day, as
21:17
I was rushing in to call my
21:19
vet, I literally
21:22
smashed right into Errol Sawyer,
21:24
the photographer who had
21:26
seen me there before and
21:30
had a client who was looking
21:32
for California,
21:35
sporty, California type girl.
21:38
And he was like, that's the girl at the phone
21:40
office. I'm going to go back
21:42
to the phone office and see if I see her.
21:45
And sure enough, as fate would have it, I
21:48
came in that day to make
21:50
the call and he said are
21:52
you a model? And I said no,
21:56
and he said, well then you should
21:58
be, and I have a and he started
22:00
telling me about it, and then he gave me his name
22:04
and number address
22:06
I should say, because he also didn't have a phone,
22:09
so he said, this is my studio and it wasn't
22:11
too far from me, and he said, please,
22:14
please trust me. Come let's
22:17
do some photos. I'll take them into the model
22:19
agency. I'll take you into the model agency.
22:22
And I was like, really, okay.
22:25
I wasn't sure if this was a line or
22:27
what. But then I was
22:29
speaking to a friend of mine, Stephanie,
22:33
who went to the Lion Los Angeles
22:35
with me, and she said, no,
22:37
no, no, I've seen his name on
22:39
a byline. I'll go with you. Come
22:41
on, let's go. And so
22:44
that's how it happened.
22:45
And the rest, as they say, is history, life
22:48
change. As you wrote on a dime, But
22:50
you also talk about how your so
22:53
called flaws, which makes me laugh,
22:55
that you were too curvy, that
22:57
you had chipmunk cheeks. Right.
23:00
I was told my cheeks were too round,
23:02
my body too curvy. But it
23:04
turned out those were exactly the things
23:06
that set me apart. I do remember
23:09
when you arrived on the scene. I mean, to
23:12
describe you as curvy is laughable
23:14
to me, because you have the most beautiful
23:17
physique. But you know, at the
23:19
time your body was a bit
23:22
of an anomaly in terms
23:24
of what models were
23:26
looking like. Right.
23:28
I immediately assumed that when
23:30
you took me into the model agency. They
23:32
would make me look like them,
23:35
right, Like I was like, oh, what would.
23:37
They do to me?
23:38
Like I'm picturing you
23:40
know, they'll do something to my hair. But
23:42
yeah, that was the thing that set me apart.
23:45
So sometimes the things
23:47
that you worry about are the things
23:49
that make you different and end
23:52
up to be your key to success.
23:54
And I was so lucky the timing because
23:58
modeling just prior to that had
24:00
been elegant, you know, kind of
24:03
long, lean, thin, elegant
24:05
beauties. And then suddenly it was
24:08
let's get physical physical,
24:11
you know, with that whole movement
24:14
of athletics, you know, people starting
24:16
to work out at home with Jane Fonda,
24:19
right, I mean I loved I worked
24:21
out at home with Jane Fonda. I
24:23
did so many Jane Fonda tapes. The
24:25
one in the purple that she wore purple,
24:28
that Alexa found this doll that
24:30
looked just like it and she called it Jane
24:32
Aga and we said Jane anam
24:35
And we had to take that doll all over the
24:38
world with us on tour, by the way, and
24:40
Alexa learned to count because I put that
24:42
on. You know, I was like losing the baby
24:44
waiter. I was losing the baby wait for the next
24:47
five years. But I would
24:49
put that on and Alexa would count.
24:51
She'd go plan two three,
24:54
make it burn full, five,
24:57
six and more seven
25:00
eight, and that make it better.
25:02
Like that, You're such a good mimic.
25:07
So I know, Christy that four
25:09
years and ten months you
25:11
ran into Eryl Sawyer. You
25:14
were on your first Sports
25:16
Illustrated cover and that was
25:18
in nineteen seventy nine. Wow,
25:22
what was that like?
25:23
Well, you know it was it was
25:25
like I had no
25:28
idea, Like I really was clueless.
25:31
Like they threw a big party for me,
25:34
and I literally called
25:37
the agency to say, you know, I don't think I can
25:39
go to that party, and they were
25:41
like, what do you mean you can't go to the
25:43
party? It's for you. I
25:46
just had no idea. It's
25:48
like, oh, okay, I was doing my makeup
25:51
in the car on the way there, you know, sort
25:53
of wet hair and just
25:55
throwing myself together. You know. By
25:58
the third one, I had hear and make people.
26:01
I had a stylist getting me close,
26:03
but I really didn't know, Like
26:06
I was a very reluctant model. I
26:08
have to say, you know, I don't even know if I
26:11
had a chance to write that in my memoir.
26:13
I used to love sitting at a cafe
26:16
in Paris, for instance, with my
26:18
little sketch pad and be
26:20
able to just blend in,
26:23
you know, and like not be noticed.
26:25
And then Sports Illustrated.
26:28
After Sports Illustrated, you get noticed.
26:30
What was that like?
26:32
You know, it wasn't like it bothered
26:34
me, but it was. It was different.
26:37
It was different. But people have always been
26:39
very nice. I have to say, you know, because
26:42
hard.
26:42
For your kids too write. It's sometimes
26:45
hard because.
26:46
Lesson just thought that we were really
26:48
popular, Like everybody
26:51
likes my mom and dad, you know, they
26:53
have a lot of friends.
26:55
Obviously, You've had such
26:58
an interesting life in terms
27:00
of your loves and
27:02
your marriages, and I
27:05
wanted to just kind of talk about that because
27:08
you mentioned Jean Francois, as
27:10
you said, he was a remarkable artist.
27:12
You were in a way to peace and a
27:14
pod I guess at the time, but
27:17
as your fame increased, and I
27:19
think this is the tricky
27:21
part of fame. I think about this
27:24
like for people who are in marriages
27:26
when they're both actors, or one
27:29
person has more success than the other.
27:32
That really derailed your marriage
27:34
to Jean Francois in many ways,
27:37
didn't it.
27:37
Yeah, But you know, as opposed
27:40
to other people, it
27:42
was because he had so much character,
27:45
he was such a great guy
27:48
that he didn't want
27:50
to spend my money. I was like, it's
27:53
not my money. We are a team,
27:55
you know, I wouldn't be able to do half
27:58
these things if I didn't know that I was coming home
28:00
to, you know, my wonderful so
28:03
so, no, we're a team and we
28:05
help each other. And he knew, but
28:08
he became uncomfortable with like, no,
28:10
I can't really afford a plane ticket right now.
28:13
And the more opportunities
28:15
that I had to experience places
28:17
and things and see things and
28:20
explore, then he
28:22
started to become more uncomfortable with it
28:24
because he couldn't
28:26
afford it on his dime. And he
28:29
was successful in what he did, but what
28:31
he did didn't earn the same kind
28:33
of money that what I did. I
28:35
mean, his dream was to work for the New York Times,
28:38
and he got to do that. But
28:41
he just, you know, was like the opposite
28:43
of a lot of guys in a way that you
28:45
know, most people would be like, oh, sure, buy
28:47
me a ticket, let's go.
28:49
You know, he didn't want to feel like
28:51
he was taking advantage of it.
28:53
Yeah, he didn't want to feel like that. But
28:55
it did become a bit of an issue
28:57
because even though it was a nice
29:00
way of doing it, like he was nice about
29:02
it and great about it, I just wanted
29:04
him to be comfortable with it and let's go, let's
29:07
keep exploring and doing things.
29:09
And you have to remember, this was a number
29:12
of decades ago where this
29:14
I think was a much bigger
29:16
issue than it is today. I still think it
29:19
exists, but you know, it was
29:21
very unusual for the
29:23
woman to
29:26
be more financially secure than
29:28
the man, and I think it was
29:31
after a lot of cultural conditioning,
29:34
really hard for I think men to handle
29:36
it. It's still I think can be, but
29:38
I think we're much more enlightened now
29:40
than we were back then, because, as I said,
29:42
this was when you were nineteen years old, you
29:45
met Olivier Chandon, you
29:47
fell for him hard. Tell us about
29:51
that love affair, Christy.
29:55
Olivier. He
29:57
was such a great guy, was
30:00
so extraordinary from
30:03
the moment I met him. I
30:05
met him actually the night at Studio
30:08
fifty four, the first time I ever went to Studio
30:10
fifty four and Ford
30:13
models and Sports Illustrated combined
30:15
to do this party for me. And
30:17
as I walked in, he walked
30:20
over and congratulated
30:22
me on the evening, and I recognized
30:25
his accent, and so we started to speak
30:27
a little bit in fringe. You
30:29
know. He was very handsome, but he you
30:32
know, everybody was trying to you
30:34
know, I was like the person that they wanted
30:36
to take a picture of or whatever.
30:37
Because it was their party, right, yeah.
30:40
And so he didn't want to hang
30:42
on to me. He was like, ooh, go, everybody wants
30:44
to you know, go. So I went
30:46
on, but I was kind of thinking about where
30:48
did that cute guy go, you know. And
30:51
then sure enough, the next day
30:54
I got the most beautiful,
30:56
giant bouquet of flowers
30:59
with the loveliest note
31:01
in French that said, ivanta ser
31:04
sevanri gesperte lauvois
31:08
before these these few flowers
31:11
fade, I hope to see you again.
31:14
Wow.
31:14
I was like, oh. And
31:17
so then I called my friend Maury Hopson,
31:20
who I call hops, and I called Hopps
31:22
and I said, Hops, Hops, that
31:24
guy Olivier send me
31:27
flowers. And he's like, wait,
31:30
Olivier Chandon and I said
31:32
yes, yes, and he said,
31:35
Oh my gosh, Christy,
31:37
he's a count. I said,
31:39
he's a what he said, he's
31:42
a count? I said, well, what
31:44
does that even mean? You know, he's
31:46
adorable and he
31:48
sent me flowers and it also
31:51
mentioned he wanted to take me out for dinner. So
31:53
I said, so, I'm seeing him later, and
31:56
it just started like that, Like everywhere
31:58
we went. He was so worldly, you know, he
32:01
was so he spoke every
32:03
language. Obviously, he spoke English
32:05
really well. He spoke French, he spoke Portuguese,
32:09
he spoke Spanish. He was like
32:12
brilliant. He listened to classical
32:15
music and it moved him and he loved
32:17
it. And he loved the ballet and he knew all the
32:20
ballerinas and they all knew him.
32:22
And he loved art
32:25
and he loved life. He
32:27
was a liver, like so was hawks,
32:30
my best friend at the time. They
32:32
were both of them. I'd say, you guys are livers,
32:34
you know, you like to live it up. And
32:38
they just were the type of people that
32:40
liked to dive in, you know, and
32:43
immerse themselves in life. And I
32:45
loved that, and so
32:48
I loved going everywhere,
32:51
you know with Olivier. At
32:53
the time, that I met him. He was actually
32:55
working for Otis Elevators, but he wanted
32:58
to be a race car driver. Was
33:00
his lifelong dream.
33:02
Whoa wait, the count was working for ODIs
33:04
Elevator.
33:05
He was working for ODIs Elevators. He
33:08
was like selling accounts or something, you
33:10
know, super boring, he thought. And every
33:13
day he would like drive out of the city
33:16
to someplace.
33:17
Like that just doesn't square with everything
33:19
you just told me, I know,
33:22
but.
33:23
He really, you know, he'd come back
33:25
and he would like talk about, like,
33:27
you know, how he wanted to do this other thing. And
33:30
he started pursuing that, and
33:33
you know, we went to the different
33:36
races and I was like, don't do that,
33:38
that's too risky. But he had
33:40
a fear of dying, so
33:43
like he wanted to face the fear
33:45
of dying.
33:46
And so in nineteen
33:49
eighty three he did.
33:52
Yeah, he did. And it was
33:56
for a person that young
33:59
and full
34:01
of life and joy and
34:05
just somebody who was
34:07
just so immersed in each
34:10
and every day, just you know, as soon as he'd
34:12
get off work. And he
34:15
turned pretty quickly. I mean, you know,
34:17
that was just in the very beginning. And
34:19
then he started, you know, pursuing
34:22
his dream, and on the
34:24
one hand, it was his dream that killed him, but
34:26
it also you know, gave
34:29
him so much joy doing
34:31
that. And then yeah, it
34:34
got him.
34:36
At just twenty seven, which is so
34:38
so young.
34:40
Way too young, way too young.
34:42
And it was so shocking
34:46
to me that the day
34:49
that it happened. Well,
34:51
I can't I don't want to say too much
34:54
because it's such a sad story.
34:57
All the circumstances surrounding
34:59
it are confusing and
35:01
so sad and so awful,
35:03
and I don't know, I still
35:05
can't really find the words.
35:08
You know, do you think that you all would
35:11
have gotten married and lived
35:14
a life together.
35:16
You know, we spoke about like having
35:19
a baby someday, but not
35:22
at the moment because we were both still
35:26
trying to you know, get our careers stabilized
35:30
or you know, grow our careers.
35:32
And he was
35:35
so enthusiastic about it. I mean
35:38
I went with him to a race in Chicago.
35:42
I went with him to Las Vegas, and
35:45
we would wake up in the morning and you hear the cars
35:48
buzzing on the track and it was just like this
35:50
electricity you know, that was charging
35:53
him, like let's go, let's
35:55
get there. And when he got you know, had
35:58
his suit and at his sing
36:00
suit, and I went with him
36:02
to one of the things when he spun
36:04
out on the track. And I begged
36:07
him after that because we were in some
36:09
place in California as a speedway
36:12
and it was kind of desert y, and all of a sudden
36:14
he hit the dust and the dust plume
36:17
went up and we didn't know, and we just shot out
36:19
of there and we were running as fast
36:21
as we could to get to him. And after that, I
36:23
was like, please don't do this anymore,
36:25
Please give it up. It's just too dangerous.
36:28
It's just too dangerous. And
36:30
then the last day that I saw
36:33
him, we were in
36:36
a little bit of an argument and
36:39
I didn't kiss him goodbye,
36:43
And I'll regret that for you
36:45
know, my whole life. Like I always
36:48
say, don't ever have an argument
36:51
and leave. Don't ever
36:53
do that. We all mean
36:55
too much to each other to ever let
36:58
the other one the room angry
37:02
or upset. You know, So
37:05
in life, don't
37:08
anybody listening ever do that. Always
37:11
make sure that people they know
37:14
how much you love them.
37:33
In a way, you were still grieving this
37:36
loss when you met Billy in
37:39
Saint Bart's. I love that you have that
37:41
photo from the night you all
37:43
met, and it
37:46
sounds like he really was your
37:48
salvation in a way. And
37:51
I read that you thought his name was Billy
37:53
Joe and you didn't really know
37:56
that much about him, and yet
37:59
your relationship turned out
38:02
to be really magical. I
38:04
know that you write about how you
38:06
were hurt by these media characterizations
38:09
of like beauty and the beasts, and that bothered
38:11
me too. I thought that was hurtful
38:15
and so shallow. But
38:17
you know, you are this perfect looking
38:20
woman, Christy, whether you like it or
38:22
not. And Billy, you know, was
38:24
this sort of dark, you know, haired
38:26
guy, not super tall, with these
38:29
kind of deep set eyes
38:31
and kind of this moody look.
38:34
And what was it that attracted
38:36
you to Billy? Obviously? I
38:39
know you say that he's physically
38:41
hot and intellectually charismatic
38:44
and that there was this chemistry
38:48
between you two.
38:49
Yeah, it's funny because Katie, the first
38:51
night that I met him, in same parts,
38:55
I looked right past him, but
38:58
he was so funny.
39:01
I knew that night that
39:03
I wanted to be friends with him forever. I
39:06
was like, oh, I'm definitely going
39:08
to make sure that we stay
39:11
friends because we laughed.
39:13
We laughed, and the next
39:15
night we all went out, you know, the whole gang
39:17
of us. We all went out for dinner, and again
39:21
we all laughed. We all laughed, I wrote
39:23
in my journal, and then we
39:25
both went home with the wrong person.
39:27
You know.
39:28
But after Olivier died, well
39:31
even before Olivier died, Billy
39:34
had called a couple times, and you
39:36
know, we were on the phone, laughing
39:38
and being friends, being each other's friend.
39:41
Then after he died, he waited
39:44
a little bit and then he called me and he said,
39:47
you know, I know what you're going through, and I
39:50
just want to say I want to be there for you in any
39:52
way I can if you need me, if
39:54
you want to talk about it, in any way, shape or
39:57
form, I'm there for you. And
39:59
he was really sincere about
40:01
it, and he he really
40:03
was my friend, and we were friends
40:06
at first, and I remember
40:08
being bothered
40:12
by his hair and
40:14
his shoes and
40:17
I literally said to my mom,
40:20
you know, I'm seeing this guy
40:22
and I really like him, and he really
40:25
makes me laugh, and he's we have so
40:27
much fun together and he's
40:30
very very different from you know, the
40:32
from guys that I've been with before, and were's
40:35
these sort of little pointed shoes, and
40:38
she said, you can change a man's
40:41
shoes, you can change a man's hair,
40:43
but you can't do anything about the
40:45
rest. So if the rest is good for you, go
40:48
with it. And so I said,
40:51
yeah, well, he's got a good heart and a good sense
40:53
of humor, and she said, go
40:56
with it. And then I just
40:58
like, you know, a couple of little tweaks,
41:01
and he was super hot.
41:05
And where was he in his career at
41:07
the time. He was really, I mean,
41:09
listen Billy's body of
41:11
work, like you can't compare it to anything,
41:14
I mean to really all the greats.
41:16
And I know a documentary's coming out
41:18
about him, which I can't wait to see.
41:21
But was he on the
41:23
cusper? Had he already exploded
41:25
when you met?
41:26
You know, I didn't know where he was professionally,
41:29
because I didn't know any of his work prior
41:31
to that. But he was professionally
41:35
just starting a new album, which
41:38
was amazing because I
41:41
think he had like one or two songs, and
41:44
then he was writing as
41:46
our relationship was growing,
41:49
and I would be in the studio and he'd be singing,
41:51
you know these songs, and I was right
41:53
there through the whole process,
41:56
and I mean that was
41:59
pure, pure magic. I
42:01
love music. To me, I love
42:04
the arts, but to me, music is
42:06
the art that literally
42:09
paints the air around
42:11
you. They can make you get up out of your
42:13
chair and dance, or it can
42:15
remind you of a special
42:17
moment. It just takes
42:20
you places and it becomes, you know, the
42:22
soundtrack to your life. And I
42:24
felt like in my years with Billy
42:27
and Alexa, I've been
42:29
lucky to have like a
42:31
home full of beautiful music
42:34
playing all the time. There was somebody
42:36
at the piano, you know, just filling
42:38
the air, and oh it
42:41
was amazing, amazing.
42:45
It kind of came crashing down,
42:47
or the relationship ended because
42:50
of Billy's drinking. And you're
42:52
very honest about this, Christy, And
42:55
I'm curious how he
42:58
felt about that and how
43:01
hard it was to be this honest about
43:04
the crumbling of your marriage and your relationship.
43:07
Well, I think you
43:09
know, and I don't want to speak for Billy, but you
43:12
know I am in his documentary and
43:15
he said, don't
43:17
hold back, you know, say
43:19
whatever you want to say, whatever
43:21
you're comfortable with, whatever you
43:24
need to say, whatever I understand.
43:26
And I'm not gonna be mad
43:29
or you know, anything he said, just
43:31
whatever. I think that
43:34
he's capable of doing that now
43:37
because I know that in
43:39
part of his you
43:42
know, healing was
43:46
knowing what you did. When
43:48
a person drinks to a certain point
43:50
that they don't remember what they did the night
43:52
before, I think that
43:54
it's helpful in a way. I don't
43:56
know. I mean, I certainly am not out to hurt
43:59
anybody, but I think
44:01
that you need to know what
44:03
you did hurt people.
44:06
You all have a really nice relationship
44:08
now, don't you.
44:09
Yeah. I mean I'll always
44:12
love Billy. I always will. We
44:14
were together in such formative
44:17
years, you know, years that really shaped
44:21
both our futures. You know, we
44:24
had some of the best years of my life. And
44:27
you have a daughter, my firstborn,
44:29
you know, so that was
44:32
really really special. And you know,
44:34
Alexi always say to Alexa, you know, Alexa,
44:37
you got us for the first ten years
44:39
of your life, you know, without any
44:42
other siblings to you
44:44
know, pull our attention away.
44:45
So and I think it's interesting. I've
44:48
watched a video of you and Alexa going through
44:50
photos together, which I really enjoyed,
44:53
and sounds like she's a lot more
44:56
like Billy than she is.
44:57
You oh, yes, she's are
45:00
definitely two peas and upond alexa.
45:03
When she was a little she always categorized people
45:05
in colors, and she
45:08
had red and green people, which
45:10
she and her dad are red and green and
45:13
blue and yellow people. And I'm a blue and
45:15
yellow person. So I'm like, oh,
45:17
like Oshan in the sun, like
45:20
cozy Christmases, you know. And
45:22
she said, yes, pretty much like that.
45:25
Intellectual and not
45:27
intellectual.
45:28
No, that's not true. I think you give
45:30
yourself a short shrift. I think you're very
45:33
smart. I swear I could
45:35
go all Joe Rogan on you, Christy and
45:37
like talk for three hours. I'm not going to.
45:39
But in your acknowledgments you
45:41
thank your divorce lawyer who said
45:44
you have a bad picker. Moving
45:47
after Billy, you
45:49
did have a couple of relationships
45:52
which did not turn out the way
45:54
you had hope, to say the least. I know
45:57
that one was with Richard Talbman.
46:00
He was your third husband. I
46:02
know that you say you quote unquote
46:04
trauma bonded after you were
46:06
in a helicopter crash in nineteen ninety
46:08
four, and I remember
46:10
when that happened and how scary that
46:13
was. But that relationship
46:16
ended up being incredibly disappointing.
46:18
You say it was chaotic and draining
46:20
financially and otherwise. Was
46:23
that kind of your classic rebound relationship
46:26
you think, Christy, because I know at one point
46:28
you thought, after the helicopter
46:31
crash, this was Billy's chance to be
46:34
a knight and shining armor and
46:36
come and rescue you, but he didn't.
46:38
I actually had met this guy
46:41
on he who shall not be named,
46:43
Yes, yes, you shall
46:46
not be I
46:48
have a few of those.
46:50
But he was kind of working me. I guess,
46:52
you know, everything that I love.
46:56
He was into and on
46:58
the verge of doing or doing. But
47:00
I actually went skiing because
47:04
I wanted to show Billy
47:07
that he could lose me.
47:09
You know.
47:09
I wanted to like remove myself and
47:12
was kind of just sitting there at home in the
47:14
Hamptons, you know, So I wanted to
47:16
be like out and about separated,
47:19
and I thought maybe he would see that and
47:21
be like, oh, I need to
47:24
really pay attention now and clean
47:26
up my act and go after her. That's
47:29
what I was hoping for by going
47:31
to Aspen or to tell your ride on
47:34
my couple of ski trips that I was
47:36
doing. But he didn't
47:38
take the bait, But
47:41
there was another guy that
47:44
did show interest and eventually
47:47
caught my attention
47:50
in a big way.
47:51
You all ended up having your son
47:53
Jack, and I
47:56
know that you write you
47:59
married Peter Cook, your fourth husband,
48:01
in nineteen ninety six, and
48:04
you write for a number of reasons,
48:06
primarily because I felt both a sense
48:08
of urgency to find Jack a father figure
48:11
and terror it that thought that Ricky
48:14
might swoop back in if I didn't. This
48:16
is after you all got divorced. I
48:19
said yes when Peter asked me to
48:21
marry him later that year. I
48:23
should preface that question by saying
48:26
that Ricky got
48:28
in touch with your biological father, Herb,
48:32
and even said quote, I'm
48:34
going to walk away from you and the baby, just
48:36
like Herb Hudson did. What an
48:38
asshole? Well, I mean, first
48:41
of all, that's pretty psychotic.
48:43
I couldn't believe.
48:46
It was like a time machine, you
48:48
know, like somebody had reached back into
48:51
my past and plucked
48:54
this person out and brought
48:57
them, you know, inserted him
48:59
into my life in a way that
49:01
was so unexpected and cruel
49:06
that I just couldn't even believe that this
49:09
was happening. How
49:11
do you even it was so diabolical to
49:13
even come up with that concept.
49:16
So you marry Peter. You
49:18
all looked, on the face of
49:20
it, like the perfect couple. He's handsome,
49:24
blonde, he adopts
49:27
Jack, right, which is great, you
49:29
have sailor your daughter together,
49:32
and then he ends
49:34
up basically having
49:38
a thing with this teenage
49:41
girl in the Hamptons, right, who worked
49:43
at a toy store. Yeah, yeah,
49:46
Honny me Christy, I
49:49
have to agree with your divorce lawyer.
49:52
I know you have a bad picker, I
49:55
know, and it was.
49:58
Yeah, it was a very bad bad
50:00
pick on my part. Now, those
50:03
last two marriages, reading my journals
50:05
and stuff, I just look at myself
50:08
and I just like, during the
50:10
third one, I was like, why didn't
50:12
I get out of it faster? Why didn't
50:14
I see that? Although
50:18
it could make a funny Nancy Meyers.
50:20
Movie, there's
50:23
always Nancy Meyer.
50:25
Like with distance. Now, oh
50:28
man, there's stuff there that
50:30
would just be hilarious, hilarious,
50:35
But I couldn't laugh a lot
50:38
while it was going on.
50:39
I'm sure very very very
50:41
trying, very trying, and so
50:44
public and so mortifying
50:47
for you. I felt for you so
50:49
much during that period of time
50:52
in your life and where are you now?
50:54
I mean, do you feel happy
50:57
and content? I think I know the answer to
50:59
this, risty Yeah. And do
51:01
you feel like, gosh, I
51:04
would like a partner. I know you don't
51:06
feel like you need a partner at this point
51:09
in your life.
51:10
Yeah. I you know, whenever
51:12
something really really exciting,
51:16
great happy, whether it's
51:19
like magnificent sunset
51:21
or anything, you know, an
51:24
exciting trip or something, that's
51:26
when I feel like I wish I could share
51:28
this with somebody. But
51:31
I very often
51:34
my house is full, I
51:37
you know, always have, there's always there's
51:39
always at least one of the kid home with a
51:41
group of friends. It's very
51:44
busy place, and so
51:47
I'm very content
51:49
and grateful for what i have. But
51:51
when there is a very magical sunset,
51:54
sometimes I feel like going, oh,
51:56
yeah, there's nobody there.
51:58
You know.
51:59
That's a little sad that, but that's
52:02
it. You know.
52:03
You describe Olivier Chandon
52:06
and your friend Hops, who I've never met,
52:08
so I'm just referring to him again as real
52:10
livers, not the organ but the
52:13
attitude. And you know, I
52:15
feel like you are too. You continue
52:17
to stay so engaged in the world. You're
52:19
always you know, you're
52:22
entrepreneurial, you're politically
52:25
active. You are I
52:27
think, living your life to
52:30
the fullest every single day, and
52:33
I really admire that about you.
52:36
You know that is I've always felt
52:38
a sense of gratitude always. My mom
52:41
and dad raised me like that. But
52:44
after you know, my death
52:46
defying life, I
52:50
feel like I kind of have gratitude
52:52
on steroids, and I just
52:55
am like so grateful when
52:57
I wake up in the morning and I got a
53:00
new day to dive into. I
53:02
cannot even leave my property, but
53:04
feel like, you know, just
53:07
so ecstatic to be in
53:09
the day. And whatever it is, whatever
53:11
that I get into, I
53:14
enjoy it. I just do,
53:16
whether it's watering my house plants
53:19
and look at my little tree here, I
53:21
am very happy.
53:23
Well, I'm so glad you
53:25
wrote a book about your life. We've only
53:28
scratched the surface of
53:30
everything that you've experienced,
53:33
and I highly recommend
53:35
people read it. I just think
53:37
you're a very special person. I
53:40
feel, even though we don't
53:42
know each other super well, I
53:44
admire you and feel connected
53:47
to you and appreciate you.
53:49
And I love the fact that I know that
53:52
if a band strikes up a song and
53:55
we know the backup that you'll be up
53:57
there with me singing backup, I
54:01
will.
54:03
I just think you're a great person. I really like
54:05
you. And you know, I was interviewing
54:07
somebody about the Pope this morning, and I said,
54:09
what do you think his legacy
54:12
was? And this Jesuit priest
54:14
said, he was just a really great person
54:17
and he was just really really loved.
54:20
And I don't know, I feel the same. Not that
54:22
I'm comparing you to Pope Francis.
54:24
But the Pope loved everybody.
54:29
The Pope like literally loved
54:32
everyone. And I
54:35
think that's why I loved the
54:38
Pope, you know, because
54:40
I loved his love. And
54:42
that's what we all need to do right now,
54:45
is we all need to
54:48
just say stop everything,
54:51
Let's just love one another. Let's
54:54
just stop this madness
54:57
going on in Washington. Just
55:00
stop, and let's just go back
55:02
to just let's just love. Let's
55:05
try and be friends with everybody. Let's
55:07
just you know, it's time
55:10
for love. Because love is the strongest
55:12
thing in the world.
55:13
We know that it's a.
55:15
Fact, and it's time for love
55:17
to prevail. It's time.
55:20
Christy. Thank you. Speaking of time,
55:23
you've given me a lot of viewers, so
55:25
thank you. My team is probably like, Katie,
55:28
when is she going to stop? She's been
55:30
talking to Christie Brinkley No,
55:33
for like an hour and a half, But there were
55:35
so many things I wanted to talk
55:37
with you about. I hope I get to see you in person
55:40
soon and.
55:41
Call me when you're out and let's
55:43
eat and keep up the good work, Katie.
55:46
Okay, I'm trying, Honey, I'm trying.
55:48
Thank you, happy, trying hell
55:54
again until I figure
55:57
out how to find the off button.
55:59
You kill me? Love you too.
