Carolyn grew up throughout Northwest Florida spending most of her childhood in a trailer park in Panama City, Florida.

Nash saw Carolyn's potential and soon she was modeling in local ads and magazines throughout Florida and Alabama.

==Personal life==

When she graduated from high school Murphy moved to Milan to further her modeling career. Her career kicked into high-gear when she bleached her hair plaitnum blonde for a photo shoot ruining her hair and causing it to fall out. Because of this she had to get a boyishly short hair cut which made her popular with many top photographers and soon she was in major magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Vogue and was named VH1s "Model of the Year" at the 1998 Fasion Awards.

As of 2015, Murphy practices [[Transcendental Meditation technique|Transcendental Meditation]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=Whitney|first1=Christine|title=Fabulous at every age: Carolyn Murphy|website=Harpers Bazaar|access-date=March 13, 2015|date=March 12, 2015|url = https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a10252/carolyn-murphy-0415/}}</ref>
