Biography
Kim Alexis is part of an elite team of models who rose to the "supermodel" status in the 1980's. Kim's career started when she was discovered at 17 in a Buffalo agency. She moved to New York City and found a remarkably positive response from the fashion and beauty industries. Although she did runway and fashion, she became known for beauty. Kim could be seen repeatedly on magazine covers and had over 500 worldwide including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and set the cover record for Glamour. In 1983 she replaced Lauren Hutton as the face of Revlon's Ultima II line to then become one of the most recognizable faces in America.
She rounded out her supermodel status by being in the coveted Sport's Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for 6 years, which made perfect sense, since Kim grew up as a competitive swimmer and is still the picture of the healthy woman.
Kim transitioned into broadcasting by becoming the fashion editor for Good Morning America and appeared weekly for three years. She then went on to host TV shows such as "Your Mind and Body", "Healthy Kids" and "Ticket to Adventure".

She also appeared in the film "Holy Man", alongside Eddie Murphy. Kim also had the amazing guest spot in the last episode of the memorable sitcom "Cheers", entitled "One for the Road". Most recently she was one of the models featured in HBO's documentary "About Face", which draws a parallel conversation with supermodels of many different generations about what made them relevant and what has changed since then.
After her modeling career, using what she learned from the business, she also penned books. These include the nonfiction book "A Model for a Better Future" and a fictional book, "Beauty to Die For". She has written numerous eBooks: "Modeling: How to be Discovered”, “Lean Clean”, “Cheat Eat”, “Nap Zap”, “My Thyroid Journey”, “Skin Within”, “Slick Tips” and "Dieting Lessons" which can be found on Amazon.
Known for her background in sports and her continuous healthy life style, Kim has run in 8 marathons and was a spokesperson for the New York City Marathon and the More magazine half marathon. She has been associated with the promotion of several health products, supplements and causes. She currently plays in charity, celebrity golf events.

An outspoken conservative, Alexis has always remained an activist for a healthy and spiritually connected way of living. She raised 3 sons and continues to work towards her goal in life, which is to encourage other women to be their best in all areas of life. She can be seen on her Instagram account speaking about healthy, clean choices in all areas of life.
