She hopes it will inspire others, no matter their age.<\/p>\n “I just feel like age is sort of that last frontier in America that does need addressing, but we have to be kinder about it\u2026 They say that the key is not to have to live to be 150, but to be healthy every day until the day you just fall asleep and don\u2019t wake up peacefully.”<\/p>\n WATCH: CHRISTIE BRINKLEY OPENS UP IN NEW MEMOIR \u2018UPTOWN GIRL\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Brinkley and her lookalike daughter have been sharing twinning moments lately.<\/p>\n On Aug. 4, the pair sported the same summery orange wrap outfits by Donna Karan at the Solving Kids Cancer Annual Hamptons Luncheon in New York.

Brinkley described how alcohol was “the other woman” in their marriage.<\/p>\n “To be clear, I never wanted to end things with Billy. I read every self-help book I could find while, together, we went to see a string of psychiatrists, psychologists, and other medical doctors,” Brinkley wrote in an excerpt obtained by Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I did everything for our marriage, constantly working to make myself, our home, and everything around us into whatever he could possibly want or hope for.

A man, who happened to be a police officer, approached her and said that Cook was involved with his 18-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n “I know from Peter\u2019s face that he was guilty,” Brinkley wrote in her book. “When your whole world falls apart, and you realize in a heartbeat you\u2019ve suddenly become the clich\u00e9 middle-aged woman whose husband is having an affair with a much (much) younger woman, what do you do?”<\/p>\n That night, Cook was out of the house, and friends urged Brinkley to search the family computer. They even came over to help, an operation Brinkley said looked like something out of “Charlie\u2019s Angels.” There, she found a “creepy labyrinth of files and photos I never knew existed.”<\/p>\n Christie Brinkley leaving court after a day on the stand.
