Many Selling Sunset fans would be surprised to know that Christine Quinn first started her career as an actress and a model. She moved to Los Angeles to work in the modeling industry and then, later on, stepped into the real estate market. Let's see how she first got into the glam world and progressed to become the most remarkable villain on her current show.
Christine has become an overnight sensation after season one of Selling Sunset released. Her Instagram has close to 700K followers, which will soon cross 1 million. She is living her best life right now because she always wanted to work in the entertainment industry. She even went to the performing arts school Julliard in New York City since she was interested in acting and theatre.
The blonde bombshell is originally from Dallas, Texas. She then moved to LA to pursue her modeling and fashion career. And luckily, the leggy lass got featured in Vogue Magazine and other media publications. The 31-year-old also has several movie roles to her name. She is well known for her appearance in Shark Night 3D and Humans vs. Zombies, which were released in 2011. Then in 2015, she played a role in a comedy film, Hot Tub Time Machine 2. Her screen name was used to be Christine Bently, and while talking with The Daily Beast in an interview, she revealed the mystery behind that.
She said, "I was an actress, and for SAG, you have to be registered under the Screen Actor's Guild. And Christine Quinn was a New York senator who was registered under the Screen Actor's Guild, so I couldn't use my name and had to come up with a last name. I was like, Umm… 'Bently' sounds cool." However, she has dropped that fake surname, and now she appears with her real last name so that her fans can find her easily.
After working in a few films, she decided to take a two-year break. She traveled around the world, and during that time, realized her intense love and passion for architecture and interior design. So, she came to LA and joined the Oppenheim Group and started making a six-figure commission. Eventually, in 2018, this badass woman got the opportunity to be on real estate reality show Selling Sunset. Now, she loves being an entertainer as well as a super successful real estate agent. She said, "I fucking love it. I want to be on so many shows. I want to be funny and be myself. I want to be on Dancing with the Stars, to do comedy, to do it all." Well, her fans love watching her as well! More power to her!
All episodes of Selling Sunset are available to stream on Netflix.
