She admits that the hit 1967 Beatles song When I’m SixtyFour always made her feel like 64 was old.

But Brinkley is now shrugging that off. ‘That number, that birthday has always seemed old to me because of that song,’ said the star.

And she will keep learning.

‘I’m going to make every effort this year to challenge myself,’ said the Vacation star.

And then she posed with an old pal.

‘I think @maury.hopson was afraid I was going to share a story about some of the innocent mischief and capers we got into on fun magazine trips to the far corners of the world back in the 70’s and 80’s ..our slow speed golf cart chase on Harbor Island was one for the book.. but in this shot I think I was just greeting guests or was I breaking out in song.’

The blonde also celebrated Jack. ‘Jacks Speech was the SWEETEST thing in the world! My warm and welcoming Sonshine really lights up a room with his genuine love of people! Go Jack!.’

And hugged Sailor: ‘And this little Sunflower with the heart of gold.. thank you for your gorgeous words that brought the memory of my parents to life ! please note: I’m sorry if I’m posting too much . 

‘My photo files are corrupted so no matter how many new phones I switch to my phone freezes arbitrarily so when it suddenly ALLOWS me to post I take advantage and so I’m sorry if I’m overwhelming your feed. PS it just started snowing in nyc for Super Bowl how Perfectly cozy is that!?!).’

It was then a shot with her girls and a friend that ended the stream of posts.

Christie made headlines with her frank talk about Donald Trump with Porter.

She said: ”One day I was at the Plaza Hotel. My phone rings and this guy goes, “Hey, Christie, it’s The Donald.” I say, “Hi, Billie,” because I was dating Billie at the time. But the voice goes, “No, no. It’s The Donald!” So I say, “What’s up?”‘

And then he told her: ‘”I hear you’re leaving for Aspen tomorrow. I am too. I’d like to give you a ride on my private jet.” So I reply, “Thank you, but I have already arranged my flights.” “So cancel them!” was his response, and I say, “No thank you. I’m going with friends.”‘

She added: ‘I knew he was married, and there he was asking me to go on his plane. He was kind of flirty about it. He was out chasing skirts.’
