Biography
About Kim Alexis
At 5'10" with a slim build and auburn hair, Kim Alexis has a statuesque presence that defined an era of American fashion. Her blue eyes and natural curves, measuring 34-24-34, helped her become one of the most recognizable faces of the 1980s. She was born on Friday, July 15, 1960, in Lockport, New York, and began her modeling career in 1972, though she was discovered at 17 by a local photographer who submitted her photos to Elite Model Management. Signed in 1978, she moved to New York and debuted in a 1979 Glamour editorial, launching a career that would earn her the nickname "The Face of the 80s."
Over her 54 years in the industry, Kim appeared on more than 500 magazine covers, including six Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, three Vogue covers, and multiple Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour covers. She worked with photographers like Richard Avedon and Francesco Scavullo, and her campaigns included Revlon's Fire & Ice, Chanel, Christian Dior, and Victoria's Secret. Although she preferred print work over runway, she walked for designers such as Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Oscar de la Renta. Her all-American look, with long blonde hair (which is naturally auburn) and striking blue eyes, made her a favorite for swimwear and beauty campaigns, and People magazine dubbed her "the blonde bombshell."
Kim's career extended beyond modeling into television and writing. She served as a fashion correspondent on Good Morning America from 1986 to 1989, hosted Fashion Story in 1990, and made appearances on shows like The Price Is Right and Hope & Faith. She also starred in TV movies, including Perry Mason: The Case of the Wicked Wives, and authored books such as A Model for a Better Future and a 2014 Healthy Kids e-book. Her focus on wellness and faith has kept her visible at health expos and Christian events, even as she avoids the spotlight. She has been married to Jim Stockton since 1983, and they have three sons: Jamie, Bobby, and Noah. Kim now lives in Arizona, maintaining a modest social media presence with 58k Instagram followers and occasionally sharing content on X. Her 1998 quote, "True beauty comes from faith and purpose," reflects her ethos. At 66, she remains a beloved icon of 1980s supermodel culture, celebrated for her classic, approachable glamour.
