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 there. At the age of 15, 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. She also attended St. Mary's Catholic school in
Fort Walton Beach,
Florida from kindergarten to 8th grade.
