AceShowbiz - Christie Brinkley was a standout in the modelling game, thanks largely in part to her Sports Illustrated gigs. Discovered by a photographer in Paris when she was an aspiring artist, she graced the cover of the magazine for three years in a row from 1979 until 1981.
Who'd guess that more than thirty years later she would return to SI to pose alongside her daughters Sailor Brinkley Cook and Alexa Ray Joel. While Alexa inherited her father Billy Joel's talent as a musician, Sailor shares her mother's interest in modelling. "I grew up looking at these photos of my mom, never thinking that I would ever be able to do that," Sailor once told PEOPLE. She is indeed able and the mother-daughter duo even once teamed up on the runway at New York Fashion Week.
