J E N N I F E R S T A R R C A S T I N G CAROLYN MURPHY Carolyn Murphy was born on August 11, 1973 in Panama City, Florida. Her parents were originally from Virginia; her father was a sergeant in the Air Force and her mother a homemaker. Carolyn was raised along the Panhandle and abroad, and often spent summers on her family’s 1,600 acre farm in Phenix, Virginia. The farm was established in the late 1800's and remains in her family to this day. This environment was her biggest influence, along with her great grandmother who was an avid gardener, artist, teacher, writer, crafter and literary connoisseur. Carolyn never expected to become a modeling icon. Her interests revolved around nature, art, animals and books, and she was considered a tomboy. She was also a competitive swimmer for 10 years, and nearly qualified for the Junior Olympics in 1988 for backstroke. She graduated from Fort Walton Beach High School in 1991 with honors, accumulating awards for essays and poetry along the way. She was enrolled in a local modeling school by her mother at age 17, and was immediately spotted by an agent at a model convention. She went to Paris shortly after graduating from high school. Reluctant to start a career as a model, Carolyn returned to Virginia to attend college and study Art History and American Literature. She modeled part time in NY and Japan to fund her education. Fashion editors and photographers were universally impressed by her natural instincts in front of the camera. She attributes this quality to her creative background, "It's all about finding the art in fashion," she says. Carolyn was respected by photographers for her ability to create the perfect image and was often considered more of an actress for this dedication. In 1995, at the age of 22, Carolyn landed one of her first campaigns and industry contracts, with Prada. She was gracing the covers of French Vogue and working with every major photographer - Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Helmut Newton, Michael Thompson, Irving Penn, and Patrick Demarchelier. Over the next few years she would be the star of advertising campaigns for Versus, Blumarine, DKNY, Lagerfeld, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Celine, Max Mara, Calvin Klein, CK, Fendi, Ralph Lauren, Jantzen, Lord and Taylor, Anne Klein, Banana Republic, 7 Jeans, Roberto Cavalli, Iceberg, Versace, and The Gap. J E N N I F E R S T A R R C A S T I N G Carolyn also received the industry's highest acclaim and was named Model of the Year at the VH1 Vogue Fashion Awards in 1998. Newsweek included her in their list "Top Ten Supermodels" as "The Professional". During that same year, Barry Levinson cast Carolyn as "Dubby" in "Liberty Heights", in which she starred alongside Adrien Brody. In 1999, Calvin Klein referred to her as one of his muses in Vogue; a photograph by Annie Leibowitz of the pair also ran in the same issue. She also signed a contract for the Calvin Klein perfume, "Contradiction". In 1999 Carolyn married and took time off from modeling to explore other interests. She spent time in Costa Rica where she explored the biodiversity, surfed, and dedicated her time to improving the country’s education system by raising money for and teaching English at local schools. In 2000 she returned to the United States and gave birth to her daughter, Dylan Bleu, at home on her farm in Upstate New York. Harry Winston signed a two-year contract with Carolyn in 2001 and she became the jeweler’s "first face" in advertising. The following year, she signed a multi-million dollar contract with Estée Lauder to launch the brand’s “Defining Beauty” campaign. It was one of the most lucrative deals the industry had ever seen. She continues to work with Estée Lauder, appearing in their "Re- Nutriv" and "Sensuous" perfume advertisements. Other recent work includes ad campaigns for Tiffany and Co., Tom Ford Eyewear, Iceberg, Cesar Paciotti, Roberto Cavalli, The Gap and LOFT. She is frequently featured on the covers of top fashion magazines, including Vogue, W, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Glamour, Allure, and Marie Claire. She has also appeared on the cover of Time, and on two sequential covers of the Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, in 2005 and 2006. In 2009, Steven Meisel selected Carolyn among scores of models to be profiled in Vogue, along with other supermodels whose careers he helped launch. Carolyn has always prioritized her family; in 2003 Hallmark named her "Mother of the Year". She also values community involvement and supports a number of charities dedicated to children, animals, health, art and the environment.
