Kim Alexis
80s Supermodel / Certified IHP/ Aging Gracefully with Clean Living / Columnist / Author / Public Speaker
Kim Alexis understands what it means to remain relevant, vital, and purposefully engaged beyond the timelines culture tries to impose.
Her career began at age 17, when she was discovered by a modeling agency in Buffalo, New York. She soon moved to New York City, where her natural beauty, athleticism, and grounded presence attracted the attention of the fashion and beauty industries. Kim went on to appear on more than 500 magazine covers worldwide, including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Cosmopolitan. She set the cover record for Glamour and, in 1983, succeeded Lauren Hutton as the face of Revlon’s Ultima II line.
Appearances in six Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues further established Kim as one of the most recognizable supermodels of her generation. Behind that success was a foundation built through competitive swimming, discipline, strength, endurance, and respect for physical well-being that have continued to shape her life.
Kim later transitioned into broadcasting, serving as Fashion Editor for Good Morning America before hosting national programs devoted to health, adventure, food, and lifestyle. She appeared alongside Eddie Murphy in Holy Man and guest-starred in the final episode of Cheers. She was also featured in HBO’s documentary About Face, joining other legendary models in conversations about beauty, aging, relevance, and what endures beyond the spotlight.
Her life and career continued to evolve. Kim became an author, completed eight marathons, and developed a deeper commitment to wellness, resilience, faith, and intentional living. Today, she serves as National Wellness Ambassador for Trilogy by Shea Homes, helping create programs and experiences that encourage people to remain physically active, socially connected, emotionally strong, and purposefully engaged throughout every stage of life.
Kim’s work reflects her belief in active longevity, the pursuit of strength, vitality, confidence, connection, and purpose as life evolves. She speaks, advocates, and supports causes that align with the way she lives: grounded in discipline, personal responsibility, meaningful relationships, spiritual connection, and continued growth.
After decades of living both publicly and intentionally, Kim understands that growing older is not about resisting change or trying to recover a former version of yourself. It is about recognizing what experience has given you and continuing to develop the strength, wisdom, and purpose needed to participate fully in life.
Purpose does not fade. It deepens. Through UNEXPIRED, Kim creates space for honest, thoughtful conversations with people whose lives demonstrate that relevance, vitality, contribution, and the capacity to grow have no expiration date.
