Her family moved to Canoga Park, Los Angeles, California, where her mother Marjorie later met and married television writer Donald Brinkley in Bel Air, Los Angeles. Donald adopted Christie and her brother Greg Brinkley. During this time, the family lived in Malibu and then the Brentwood neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Brinkley was educated at Paul Revere Junior High School and attended Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles from 9th to 12th grade.

After graduation in 1972, she moved to Paris to study art.

Brinkley became a successful model, appearing on an unprecedented three consecutive covers of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues in 1979, 1980, and 1981. She spent 25 years as the face of CoverGirl, appeared on over 500 magazine covers, and signed contracts with major fashion and non-fashion brands.

Beyond modeling, she expanded into acting, illustration, writing, and activism for human and animal rights and the environment.

Brinkley has been married four times, including to musician Billy Joel between 1985 and 1994; she appeared in several of his music videos. Her fourth marriage, to architect Peter Cook, ended in a highly publicized 2008 divorce.
