Christie Brinkley Says She Was Once Told She'd Be 'Chewed Up and Spit Out' of Modeling by Age 30


Christie Brinkley, now 70, has a whole new perspective on aging — and she tells PEOPLE all about it.

"They told me by the time you're 30, you'll be chewed up and spit out of this business," she tells PEOPLE exclusively while chatting about her new clothing collection with HSN. Brinkley, who turned 70 in February, says she's been having a great year and never dreamed that this is what her life would be like at this point.
