comment in 'Last Play At Shea'


in what was a case of nostalgia for me, in the Billy Joel documentary 'Last Play At Shea' an associate of BJ's (forget who) commented how he found it almost "painful" to look at Christie back when she was married to BJ, because she was so beautiful...there's a shot in the movie when she's smiling as she says "Let's Go Mets" that brings back to me how really gorgeous she was.

She comes from the era just before they were called "Supermodels", and many would argue that Cindy Crawford or Christy Turlington or Linda Evangelista was more beautiful, but to me, Christie will always be the epitome of the unattainable model, and the most beautiful of all (notwithstanding all this talk of her looking like 'The Girl Next Door' - that's a neighborhood I'd like to live in!!).

Anybody agree with me?
