Despite her advanced age, supermodel and actress Christie Brinkley continues to amaze her fans. In early February, the beauty and mother of three celebrated her 68th birthday, and just a few days later, she made an appearance at yet another fashion show.

The moment fans saw Christie in a mini-skirt, they couldn’t stop praising her toned legs and flawless figure. Christie’s childhood was spent with her mother and stepfather, who was a scriptwriter. He instilled in his stepdaughter a love for the arts, and at 19, she ventured to the capital of France. It was there that a photographer took notice of the young beauty and wanted to capture her in photos. From that moment on, Brinkley’s career skyrocketed.

It wasn’t long before directors noticed her as well, inviting her to act in films. To date, Christie has appeared in five projects, including both series and feature films.

As you might imagine, a woman as attractive as Christie has always had plenty of admirers. Her personal life has been as eventful as her professional one. She’s been married four times and is the proud mother of three—two daughters and a son. Christie herself describes her life as happy, saying she’s fulfilled both in her career and personal life.

For Brinkley, sitting still is simply not an option. She’s made it a daily habit to do her favorite yoga exercises. Yoga, she says, relaxes her, helps calm her mind, and allows her to decompress after a long day.

Her daily routine also includes strength training. These exercises help her keep her body toned and provide just the right amount of challenge.

Brinkley’s motto is one we can all take to heart. She isn’t afraid of aging and advises all women to abandon their unnecessary fear of it. The key, she believes, isn’t to fear getting older—it’s learning how to age while still looking and feeling beautiful.
