A 58-year old mother of two is hoping to be Sports Illustrated's oldest cover model. Gym owner and trainer Jodi Harrison-Bauer, from Connecticut in the US, attended the magazine's open casting call last week, in the hope of winning its annual swimsuit model search. While Harrison-Bauer would be the oldest model to grace the cover out of an open casting call, Christie Brinkley remains the oldest model to feature in the magazine's swimsuit issue, posing for the magazine in 2017, when she was 63-years old. In a casting video attached to her application, Harrison-Bauer said she also wanted to "represent all the women over 55 who think it's too late to start something new." Past Sports Illustrated cover girls include plus-size model Ashley Graham, Elle Macpherson, Rachel Hunter, Kate Upton and Beyoncé Knowles.
