“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
Carolyn Murphy (born on August 11, 1973),
is an American supermodel.
Murphy was born in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and grew up throughout
Northwest Florida, spending most of her childhood in a trailer park in
Panama City, Florida. At the age of 16, she was spotted by Mary Lou
Nash, owner and operator of Mary Lou's Models, a modeling agency. Nash
saw Murphy's potential and soon she was modeling in local ads and
magazines throughout Florida and Alabama. After she graduated from
Choctawhatchee Senior High School, Murphy moved to Milan to further her
modeling career. Her career kicked into high-gear when she bleached her
hair platinum blonde for a photo shoot, ruining her hair and causing it
to fall out. Because of this she had to get a short hair cut which made
her popular with many top photographers and soon she was in major
magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue and was named VH1/Vogue's
"Model of the Year" at the 1998 Fashion Awards. Murphy is featured on
the cover of the 2005 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, as well as the
1999 cover of Vogue's "Models of the Millennium." She has also posed for
the 2002 Playboy calendar. She is currently the face of Estée Lauder,
replacing Elizabeth Hurley as the company's primary female spokesmodel.
She also started an acting career with the role of "Dubbie the Blonde"
in Barry Levinson's Liberty Heights in 1999.

Personal life

posed for Vogue as Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, and Frances Bean Cobain.
Murphy and Schroeder split in 2002. Since then she has dated Incubus
frontman, Brandon Boyd. The couple reportedly split in August 2005 after
it was reported that Boyd spend too much time touring with his band.
They apprently, "grew apart."
Quotations
"I'm looking forward to joining the... roster of women who have
personified the image of beauty for Estée Lauder over the years. This is
an incredible opportunity."
When informed she had made the cover, Murphy said, "I never thought I'd
make the pages of Sports Illustrated because I've always been skinny.
But after I had my daughter, I had hips, I had boobs..." [1]
"When I was pregnant, I gained 60 pounds," she relates. "I went from
flat-chested to a D-cup. I was like Princess Fiona from Shrek, but I was
contentedly overweight. I'd just had Dylan when my first test shots for
Estée Lauder came up. I had leaky breasts and saggy skin. But Aerin
Lauder was already a mother—thank God!—and understood. She waited, and
it was all worth it. But we sometimes look back at those pictures and
laugh."
