Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael Del Johno.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
This is the show that belongs to you. This is
your Morning Show. I'm Michael del Joarno. I don't know
what I was expecting when Christy Brinkley's book came out,
Uptown Girl, a Memoir. I mean, I remember seeing her
face a lot, I remember those iconic cameos and the
vacation movies, and who could forget All of a sudden,
(00:25):
she just pops up in a video named after this memoir,
Uptown Girl, with Billy Joel, who she would later marry
and have a child with.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
What I found was a really.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Raw, honest, thoughtful reflection on a life lived, things tragedies overcome,
and lessons really learned that can be applied to our life.
I really really loved the book and so thrilled to
have her with us. Christy Brinkley, good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Thank you. Thank you for the compliment on the book.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I'm loving it and for all of us that just
remember you iconically and are like Thanks for all the
pictures too, but the words most important.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
The first thing that came to my mind reading.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
The book was, boy, days are long, but life is short,
isn't it, I mean for you and me, because it
seems like yesterday is a teenager. I'm watching you in
the video Uptown Girl, or seeing you at the grocery
store on magazine covers, or watching the vacation movies, and
now here we are all a little bit older and
a little bit wiser. What I was telling my audience was,
(01:30):
everybody knows your face, but what they don't know is
the life you've lived and the wisdom that's come from it.
And that life is tough and it beats us up,
but we learn a lot along the way. I guess
that was the reason for writing this, right.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Well, I yes and no. I started. My dad always
said to me, honey, if you if you don't do
anything else, promise me you'll write about your romantic years
in Paris. So that was one book that I thought
the whole book would just be Paris because it was magic.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
That's where it all began.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Then I had a few divorces, and as I got
further away from the divorces, they started seeming funnier and
funnier to me, and I started looking at them like
a Nancy Myers movie, and I thought maybe I should
write a script and present it to Nancy Myers, my
favorite director. My girl could lucky, you never know. And
(02:31):
then I found my journals in my cleaning out my
art studio, and I sat down and started reading a
few pages, and there's such fun adventures and funny stories
and detail in there, and I thought there's something here.
So I took the whole lump of ideas into, you know,
(02:53):
a couple publishers, and I got a letter back from
Lisa Sharky at HarperCollins, and she wrote the most magnificent
letter about why I really should write a book. Because
after I did all of that, then I sort of
pulled back and thought that was really presumptuous of me
to go in there and act like anybody would want
(03:15):
to read a book about my life. And so when
they called to do a follow up, I was like, no,
I've decided against it. And then I got the letter
and she convinced me. As soon as I got to
the end of the letter, I thought, Okay, maybe she'll
help me write it.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well that's what I loved. But that's what I loved
about it. Christy. Everybody knows your face.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
You're trapped in time, in our life and our memory
and I hope there's some interest. I know I had
a lot, and the book fulfilled it. In the life
that you lived, I mean mistakes, you made, a chance,
fortune that took you, but that always comes at a price.
There was so much to learn and really finally know
about you, somebody we recognized but didn't really know. I'm
(03:57):
so glad you did it. I'm just wondering how you're
doing having done it. Some things are best done relived,
aren't they.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You know, some chapters I really didn't want to write.
I didn't want to go there and it was painful,
and so I made them as short as I possibly could.
I did not go into all the sordid details. I
tried to give, you know, an understanding of that moment
(04:26):
in time, and then tried to move on. And I
think even that much was difficult to do. But each
one of those bad moments led to something, a discovery
(04:46):
about myself, a lesson for my kids and me, a
launching pad to take on a challenge, you know, to
Sometimes when something bad happened, you've got something to prove that, no,
you're not going to keep me down.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I'm not going to.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Just you know, and you get this courage that you
never knew you had. There's there's a lot of different
things that you can take out of it. But I
found in reviewing my life like that that I'm actually
so grateful for everything that happened to me. You know,
it was a very securitous route to finding each one
(05:27):
of my children, right. But I mean, you know, I
say in my book, I went to hell, and like,
I mean, it was hell at one point, but I
came out with a beautiful angel my son.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Great.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
And there's an old expression, Christy, that life is best
understood looking backwards, unfortunately has to be lived looking forward.
I think that's part of what they're going to experience
when they read the book. Christy Brinkley out with the
book A Memoir Uptown Girl, I thought, you know a
lot of people. Of course, the connection is with you
and Billy Joel, because, let's face it, he I think
is one of the most talented performers and songwriters and
(06:05):
consequential artists of my lifetime. And every time I hear
him in interviews, it's almost more interesting than even the music.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And he's just such an eat guy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I loved what he said to you because I think
out of everybody. Whenever you do a memoir and people
are still alive, they're going to read it. And he
told you seven words, simple words to say what you
need to say. I thought that was really cool because
not everything you had to say was positive.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah, and I think, no, he's I think it's just
the strength of his character. You know, he knows who
he is. He knows and he knows that. He said
to me once that people make mistakes, and in fact,
mistakes are a person at their most original, which is
(06:53):
very interesting to me. Yeah, and so you know, we
all make I mean, I don't know if it ended
up in the book the fine I can't remember because
you know, oh, I know, we're through and then the
readers go through and then they count the words and
then they have to edit.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Oh I've wrote a book. The minute you're done writing
it is the beginning, not the end.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, it's so true. Oh it's awful.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Read the deadlines, right, like, Okay, we've done this. Now
you reread it, and now you you know, make any
changes to that one.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh way you get to book signings, Christie, it's even
more fun.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Oh I'm on day three now, Oh d three Okay,
you're already there. Oh yeah. I signed five hundred books
in a row the other day, and this afternoon I'm
signing four hundred.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
So I was trying to figure out what of all
these stories I would pick. I mean, listen, I remember
when I was twenty years old and nobody looked at
me or noticed me, let alone discovered me at a
phone booth in Paris, and next thing you know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
On every magazine cover.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Or what that fame would have done to my life
at that age, or relationships. Relationships are hard enough, let
alone with everyday household names and all the temptations that
come along with their fame. And I was trying to
think if I could pick one story, but you really
can't write it's not one major one in childhood, or
it's all of them together, the cumulative adding up of
(08:16):
all of them. Because I did notice some things in
your childhood that I think came to marriage with you,
which reminded me just as the reader.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
So you can get some positive feedback.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
This is why I've loved my daughters so perfectly, so
they know what love is. I feel sorry for any guy,
selfish guy, or a cheat, or somebody that's cheap or
doesn't know how to cherish. They're never going to make
it past a date with my daughter because I showed
them how a man cherishes a woman. So, you know,
some of these things aren't all of our blame, but
(08:45):
they all come with us until we figure it out.
At what age do you think you figured it out?
And what will you're figuring it out as their reading
reveal about their life.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Oh, that's a big question. I still think. I think
every day you're still there's still more lessons to learn
and more ways to evolve. And you know, I just
I follow. I follow what my dad always said to me, Baby,
you write your own script. And I always tell my
(09:19):
kids that number one, the most important thing in the
world is love. And you always want to make sure
that everyone you love knows how much you love them.
And next, you need to always be aware that each
day that you have is a magnificent gift and it's
(09:41):
yours to decide how you want to live that day.
It's yours, you know, to decide. I want to make
every person I encounter smile. You know, there's some people
that go out and they want to like be an
online hater, you know, and sometimes you wonder like is
(10:03):
this getting through? And my daughter Sailor has a couple
of dainty tiny tattoos and the first one she got
was on her pointer finger, and I said, what is
that saying? It says I Decide, And I thought, oh,
so she was listening.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah, Christy Brinkley, the book is called Uptown Girl.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I think you know, as I was reading it, like
a kind of sense as you were reliving a lot
of this stuff, just being realistic. I think we're too
hard on ourselves sometimes. I'm not one of these love
yourself thing. I focus on God and I'm in the
process of decreasing while he increases. And but like you,
I look back and when I made big mistakes. Oh, Christy,
I made big ones, I mean big embarrassing ones. And
(10:45):
at some point you just got to give yourself a
little slack. I mean, you're not Failures are a blessing
and a curse. If you learn from them, they're a blessing.
But there was a lot of that I think throughout
the book with you, and it was very, very powerful
and refreshing to see someone experience as they were writing.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah. I was just saying to Alexa, like reading my
journals because I would encourage everyone to read them. But
I could see, like, for instance, that you know, the
divorce with Billy was so hard when I decided with
my life was now this wild West experience, and he,
(11:25):
you know, wanted to do his visitations and it was
so hard for him. And to his credit, he flew
in to tell your ride, which is one of the
hardest airports to get into, you know, the runway short,
it's on a cliff, it's on a you know, mountain peak.
And but he came for every visitation. So he was
(11:48):
a really good dad. And I you know, that was
a rather rash decision on my part. You know, so
you see things that maybe you wish you'd done better,
and but then again, you know, we're I think we're
all doing the best we can. And as long as
(12:08):
we all have good intentions and set our intentions to
towards love and happiness, then I think will.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Be all right.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, I mean, everything being as beautiful as you blessing
or a curse could have been both. I mean, it's
got a lot of things in motion you weren't ready for, right,
you know, marriage, blessing, her curs. You know, once you
look at your child. That ends that right blessing. But
you kind of add these up one by one as
they're reading the chapters. And I love the thought that
(12:39):
everybody knows your face, but they don't know the life
you lived or the lessons you've learned and how it
applies to their life. And I know they're going to
get that when they read the book. That much is
a mission accomplished for you. You did a terrific job. Well,
thank you so much, Paul wrote in Romans eight twenty eight.
All and we know that all things work together other
(13:00):
for the good to them that love God, to them
that are called the Corner's Purpose. I'm not suggesting this
as a faith book in any way, but the faithfulness
of that God, even when we're faithless, exists throughout this book.
And you just see, you know, life best understood. Looking backwards,
you can see a whole life in your hand, and
(13:21):
you can see all the trouble coming before it comes.
But the perseverance and what you leave life with having
learned that I think is powerful. I don't know how
to say it other than one She got her looks
from her mother. There's a picture of her mom with
Elvis and you get a sense she definitely looks just
(13:45):
like her mom. Her mom is as beautiful as she is,
just never was discovered. It's a complex relationship with her
father and her ex husbands, you know, talking about tell
you right, that's where the helicopter crash took place, that
she survived it. Really, it really shocked me how much
I enjoyed this book. You'd think, who wants to read
a memoir from a supermodel? Or maybe you're somewhat interested
(14:07):
because of the Billy Joel ties and those are some
graphic chapters. I actually have to look you in the
eye and highly recommend Uptown Girl, a memoir by Christy Brinkley.
You'll find it everywhere great books are sold, especially at Amazon.

you lived or the lessons you've learned and how it
applies to their life. And I know they're going to
get that when they read the book. That much is
a mission accomplished for you. You did a terrific job. Well,
thank you so much, Paul wrote in Romans eight twenty eight.
All and we know that all things work together other
(13:00):
for the good to them that love God, to them
that are called the Corner's Purpose. I'm not suggesting this
as a faith book in any way, but the faithfulness
of that God, even when we're faithless, exists throughout this book.
And you just see, you know, life best understood. Looking backwards,
you can see a whole life in your hand, and
(13:21):
you can see all the trouble coming before it comes.
But the perseverance and what you leave life with having
learned that I think is powerful. I don't know how
to say it other than one She got her looks
from her mother. There's a picture of her mom with
Elvis and you get a sense she definitely looks just
(13:45):
like her mom. Her mom is as beautiful as she is,
just never was discovered. It's a complex relationship with her
father and her ex husbands, you know, talking about tell
you right, that's where the helicopter crash took place, that
she survived it. Really, it really shocked me how much
I enjoyed this book. You'd think, who wants to read
a memoir from a supermodel? Or maybe you're somewhat interested
(14:07):
because of the Billy Joel ties and those are some
graphic chapters. I actually have to look you in the
eye and highly recommend Uptown Girl, a memoir by Christy Brinkley.
You'll find it everywhere great books are sold, especially at Amazon.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Miss a Little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
will miss You. It's your Morning Show with Michael del Churno.
