Christie Brinkley has had a storied career as a supermodel, but it's not often you can boast credits spanning the cover of the world's most high-profile magazines AND the Broadway stage.
The 69-year-old has several acting credits, from her iconic turn in 1983's National Lampoon's Vacation to her various appearances as a music video girl, and hit her stride with her Broadway debut in Chicago.
She relived those memories once again when she took to her Instagram Stories to share a photograph her former castmate on the Chicago national tour, Alexa Jane Lowis, posted a photo of theirs backstage.
In the shot, they were both seen in full hair and makeup, with Christie dressed as Roxie Hart in full black, featuring sheer, skin-toned tights, a lace bodysuit, tightly curled blonde locks, and a bold red lip.
In 2011, Christie first made her stage debut on Broadway in the leading role of Roxie for a few dates, following that up with a month-long engagement in the role on London's West End.
She reprised the role on Broadway a year later and joined the national tour for a total of 182 performances, before returning to the role in 2019 at the Venetian Theater in Las Vegas.

At a panel with National Lampoon's Vacation co-stars Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron, she recalled an incident during one of her many shoots for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue when she was stuck on the sail of a boat.

"I was like, 'OK, I'm ready to come down. Hello!'" She eventually had to jump down and land on the boat herself, but gushed about the experience of shooting for SI.

"So, I was busy jumping off of cliffs and hanging off of a flying spinnaker in the sky and sailing by on a boat. I went diving on the Rhône. They didn't use those pictures because the bubbles kept coming out of my nose."
