Carolyn Murphy

Carolyn Murphy was born on August 11, 1975, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Although she didn't intend on becoming a model during her childhood, she eventually enrolled in a modeling school thanks to the encouragement of her mother. It didn't take long for her to gain recognition, and soon she was taking on local modeling jobs and attending modeling conventions.

An agent at one of these conventions spotted Carolyn and, before she knew it, she was modeling in Paris and New York. Fast-forward several years, when Carolyn was spending most of her time modeling in New York City. Not only has she appeared in countless fashion shows, but she has also posed for many fashion magazine covers, including Vogue (U.S., France, UK, and Italy), Harper's Bazaar, W, Elle (UK and France), and Marie Claire (Italy) -- so don't be surprised if her gorgeous face looks familiar. Carolyn already has experience attaching her face to a brand, as she starred in Calvin Klein's perfume commercials and print ads for the "Contradiction" fragrance, and in September 2001, Carolyn was named Estee Lauder's newest spokesperson.

While actress and producer Elizabeth Hurley has been the cosmetics giant's spokesperson for the past seven years, Carolyn and Elizabeth's glamorous appeal complement each other. In July 2007, earning at an estimated total of $5 million in the past 12 months, Forbes magazine named her sixth in the list of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels.As of 2007, she is still one of the industries most in demand and successful models, she shot fall campaigns for, 7 for all Mankind, Anne Klein, Lord & Taylor, Estée Lauder, and Tiffany & Co.
