She's such a legend. Absolutel icon.
The mic rubbing on her necklace though...UNGH.
I wondered what that noise was.
Brooke Shields is so humble, considering everything.
Unfortunately, sometimes, insecurity translates as humbleness.
You may see her as having everything going for. But anorexics think they're fat.
I am such a fan of this woman. She has such integrity, class, and resilience. A prime example of beauty on this inside.
As a parent the part when she talks about her children.... All of it is powerful. May you continue to have a successful healing journey Brooke. Folks really under estimate what it's like to be a person in her position.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today 😊
I'm only about 5 years older than Brooke, and back when Pretty Baby was happening, even I knew it was wrong. Don't be fooled into thinking there was no backlash. Still a kid myself, I distinctly remember the uproar over presenting a child in such a sexualized way. While I found it disgusting, sadly, it only seemed to serve as box office fodder. Meanwhile, every adult involved in the film repeatedly defended it, including Brooke's own mother. Clearly, they were only motivated by greed, fame, or something darker. Brooke at the time was too young and too innocent to realize the very serious connotations of being presented in such a sexualized manner, not just for herself, but for all children. She was a sweet kid who wanted to please her mother and every adult in the room. She was focused on being professional and trying her best to do a good job, and she approached the role that way. I remember that in interviews she herself innocently protested the backlash and defended her role. The whole thing is just plain sad. I can understand the industry misusing her because their motivation was either greed or something far sinister, but I can't get past the mother going along with it. Brooke was an incredibly sweet and beautiful child, who should have been treated like the child she was, regardless of her breathtaking looks. I always used to believe that perhaps her mother was motivated by survival since she was a single mom. I was quite astonished to find out decades later, that Brooke's dad was still in her life after her parents' divorce, that he was actually quite wealthy, and that he did indeed provide financial support for Brooke. Therefore, what possible excuse could the mother have had? It appears the mom herself was also seeking financial reward and that she was a stage mother seeking fame. It's miraculous that this girl turned into such an amazing woman. As for director Louie Malle, I have to ask myself if Candace Bergen would have ever let their own daughter Chloe play that role. Or Susan Sarandon ever let her young daughter play the role? I'm gonna assume the answer would be a giant "NO".
Brooke herself defends Pretty Baby as a work of art.
I swear I remember Brooke's mother saying in an interview that she didn't get child support from Brooke's dad but requested he pay 100% of her college in return.
@@dianecelento4974 yes Brooke did say that in an interview that her mother refused alimony & that he pay for college
Yes this film hurt lots of children back then who were the same age as Brooke. How I know because I have a friend who was molested by her step father and her mom when she was 9yrs old and her mom groomed her to try and look like Pretty Baby for her husband, they got the idea from the movie to dress her up like that and molest her. Horrible!
@@barbarajones9385 Sad. It seems she may suffer from trauma bond and cognitive dissonance about how bad she was being sexualized by her own mom.
Wow, what an absolutely brave woman. Fascinating documentary and I’m actually overwhelmed by the fact that she made it through despite everything she went through.
Not a she.
Brooke will always be beautiful and she has also a pretty soul. That woman is absolutely powerful
Loved her forever, we’re the same age. She lived an extraordinary life - I admire her for her beauty, talent, resilience, & strength. ❤
same!
Watching the uncut "Pretty Baby"...people wonder how and why her mother was never arrested.
She should've been slapped and then arrested. Disgusting mother for sure.
Isn’t it also creepy that a grown a** man would accept a role, knowing he’s going to be “intimate” with an 11 year old?? So many people that are just gross in Hollywood.
It was all part of a master plan. 👿
She can have a positive view as she wants but what was done to her by her parents and the industry was utterly wrong. Doesn't matter how great she was at it. Today no kids would be allowed to do it. No one takes her talent from her but it was wrong!
I kinda wish she would own up to the fact her mom was a narcissist very much like Drew Barrymore's mom and Kim Kardashian's mom, seems like the industry breeds these type of narcissists and then it turns in to generational abuse. If we want to evolve from this type of behavior in the industry and with our own abusive family dynamics then we need to own it and not excuse generational abuse or try to rationalize it away.
@@julief634 unfortunately narcissism is deeply set in so many industries. And narcissistic parents hurt their children so much.
I love the Blue Lagoon. I see the innocence. It was a different era . Brooke Shields is a very talented & gorgeous woman ❤
Believe me when I say she is absolutely gorgeous in person. I saw her in Penn Station last summer. And, yes, she is TALL.
Pretty male.
The TV producer in me is very distracted by the noise her necklace is making against her mic 🎤 😂 I do love Brooke Shields and can’t wait to watch the documentary
That’s what I was thinking too,as I’m a former tech/sound engineer assistant for theatre in college. I also was an assistant state manager for a few plays as well.
I feel so much better now that it was actually happening, I was so distracted by it I couldn’t keep up with that interview. I was like, is the sound tech asleep that morning? Like so very annoying and I’m pretty sure they could fix it by showing a clip or during a commercial break
You don't need to be a producer or sound tech to be annoyed by that. Was no one doing their job? Either the necklace needed to go or she needed to be re-miced in a different spot. As a show, GMA is always so half-assed. It was very distracting and like nails on a chalk board.
It was moved after they showed the clip of her kids.
My heart has always gone out to her, I've always thought it strange that the film industry thought it was "normal " to sexualize a child. She was only 14 years old when she filmed The Blue Lagoon 😪.
I could always see the sadness behind her smile...my heart will always be with her.💜
Her mother could say no.
@@mirjanapucarevic2105 that was the problem, the mother was an alcoholic and probably desperate for $$, fame and attention
She is beautiful and will always be beautiful....
@@mirjanapucarevic2105 Her mother isn't HER. She should have been able to trust her mother to respect her as a human being and as a child in need of protected innocence. So please, don't write or speak those words, "Her mother could say no." as if BROOKE had any power over those decisions.
@@patricelockertanthony7630 i am not blaming Brooke i was blaming her mother that she allowed it that nude scene in the movie her naked on the tray
It’s so nice to see her talking with everybody.
Hello 👋 how are you doing
Okay, I just started watching this video, and I paused because Brooke Shields was just talking about her voice and the power of growing into her voice, and then the MALE cohost guy just CUT HER OFF and started talking. I wanted to hear her voice and the end of her sentence, not some man who wants to hear himself speak.
I think you're overreacting. It didn't seem that abrupt. She commanded the majority of the commentary throughout this interview. In addition, she and George (the male) and his wife are great friends. I don't think she was offended. He seemed quite respectful throughout.
Yaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!! Brooke Shields is so amazing and so beautiful! I love her and will definitely support her! 💛
It's such an important topic to get out because it was unconscionable what the business and her mother allowed to be done to her at far too young an age. It's amazing she has grown into the woman she is today and now has the courage along with the vulnerability to be able to tell her story. Because just maybe, it will help others out there who are tempted to fall into the abyss of pushing their kid into something they are nowhere near ready for.
Oh yeah , what an arduous journey it's been; a downright nightmare - this pampered life of wealth and privilege ..try going out getting and holding a real job in the _real_ world where *no one* is 'playing make-believe' and the monsters don't come out of ''central casting''. Brooke Shields has always seemed like a decent person but she truly has very little if anything to complain about in this life.
Boy are you wrong!! Bring raped has s huge impact on someone’s life!! She has handled the good and bad with grace. She didn’t live a normal life. People think all the money snd fame is do great, it comes with s high price……
@@manofiske3318 what she did was a real job. Being in the entertainment business can either be a horror show or it can be rewarding in many ways. But when you are a child and pushed into it as she was THAT is ABUSE. And ANY abuse in any form is trauma that affects every aspect of a person's life. Celebrities are human beings with feelings and faults just like anyone else in the world, they are just known. If they choose to share their stories to help others then I think that is a very courageous thing to do. Because they don't HAVE to. She also has spoken in the past about suffering from postpartum depression after the birth of her child and was vilified for doing it which was very unfair.
I am so happy that she matured to be the graceful, intelligent, kind adult that she seemed as a young person. It's truly amazing that she is as well adjusted as she is considering the level of celebrity she attained as a young person.
I met her on Park Ave off 18th doing a movie, I walked right up to her talking to her she is so personable and really nice.
I love this woman...one of the most beautiful women to walk earth, ever. But also love that she looked like that as a teenager and YA, and looks like this now. She is beautiful woman then and a beautiful women now. Plus her constant grace and poise. Always respectful yet spoke her mind, even as a kid.
Everything she experienced and how she chooses to see it is her choice. It was her childhood and adolescence...her memories and feelings. Her life.
Being what she has been through and coming out thr other side not being an alcoholic or drug user makes anyone else going through any than less than that unexcusable to fall into drugs and alcohol . She is classy and AMAZING! Great example to others who think "they have problems ". In addition, when you are famous often times you are so wealthy to get the help you need but choose not to seek that help although you have all the resources! Although she has had relationship fails, broken heart, and post pardom depression, and challenges in her life she got help when she needed it and took the high road! A wonderful example for her daughters and women!
Thanks you for being so vulnerable. I'm sure that was not easy to do and see. I'm just glad your OK.
She's beautiful, smart and so cool. Very strong person.
Love Brooke! She is so kind and gracious when you meet her in person. Beautiful inside and outside!
Iconic supermodel of the 80s. We love you Brooke❤
You’d think the stage manager would get the mic right. The constant scraping against her necklace is distracting.
Good to see Brooke Shields speaking about her truth and being a mother and how she is doing well!!
What’s up with the mic? I keep hearing scratching sounds?
Yes, love seeing gorgeous beauty glamorous Queen Brooke Shields in pink! I am forever in awe and inspired by her beauty, articulateness, intelligence, truth and powerful resilient strength. I love the part where she is at the dinner table talking with her daughters and husband. 🩷 👑💎⚜️🏆 💪🏻
Where was her father?
I always love Brooke. Good for her to be so strong, even though all she has been through so much❤
So hope that this film comes up in the bigger world. Not just on a streaming station.
Hulu has about 48 million subscribers. Eventually it may be show on other platforms.
I'm sure the making of the docu was very cathartic for her. Brooke is actually very good in comedy!
Actually, the first film Brooke did was the classic horror film “Alice, Sweet Alice”. It just was released after “Pretty Baby” (back in the 70s). It was such a great horror film that rumors in Hollywood today are that they want to do a remake.
I’ve always loved Brooke Shields ❤️
Can’t wait to view the new doc. Brooke is one of my all time favorite celebrities. #Beauty&Brains
Her necklace rubbing on her mic is really annoying.
Love her! After a horiffic divorce & only time past 16 years I've enjoyed watching her younger 🎥 & was delighted by her sweet humor. Loved lipstick jungle too! Thank you Read her book & she helped me work thru my own mom's recent death.
Love brook sheilds. 💕🎉 She Is inspiring brave and strong overcoming many challenges . Talented actress as well.
Fantastic interview and documentary. So well done. I rarely take the time to watch a documentary, but for some reason this one really fascinated me. I am the same age as Brooke and grew up watching her. Good for you, Brooke for making it through all of that and standing strong and firm and being a role model for everyone and especially for younger women. 🎉👏👏
At 85 it is a relief to be given a clue as to what happened in the 1970s and beyond. THANK YOU BROOKE! With a step father, a friend and a second husband who were pedophiles, it still is taking me hard work to understand how the world kept turning while I was molested, raped, exploited, battered, stabbed, plus being told by my “natural” father that without my religion I could have made something of myself. Truth is, I wrestled that mess, wanting to keep the love and throw out the trash. Hallelujah, we did it. Than which there is nothing better than. ONWARD
The original Pretty Baby movie was so shocking for me . I was sick to my stomach.
The sound guy needs to be fired!!! Loved this Doc!
You been a gracious person & deep awareness of the Love of alcoholics!
Honoring your Mother well!
Your Mother may not have told you as her own sorrow, deep down she knows how deeply your Love has honored your inter family!
Your wellness & happiness has been the wish of most Americans!
Something you had while another kind heart, gifted with song used abused by everyone. Not trying to compare to cause anyone grief I saying your Mother did have your best interest in mind. Many young women do not!
Brooke Shields especially when it comes to the face is one of the most beautiful woman of all time. She is smart, brave and to be admired for her ability to navigate everything and be happy and thriving
Wow blown away by this Doc, excellent
Brooke is such a likable human.
Her daughter hurting because her mom was hurt made me tear up 😢
Right?! Ugh i couldn’t imagine hearing my mom talk about some of the things she says in the documentary especially for the first time 😬 it would be so much to process
Brooke’s mic is picking loads of background noise
It's the necklace scraping against the mic. Idiot sound guy should have noticed that.
You didn’t need to interrupt her George. Geesh. 🤦🏽♀️
Can't wait to see Pretty Baby!!
She's not only beautiful on the outside, she has a beautiful soul.
How about her mom? She blames everyone but her mom.
Is it just me or does Brooke look like Kaitlyn Jenner?
Necklace scratching on mic...........doh!
Is that what that is
When I was a young gay male I had always admired, respected and appreciated Ms. Shields. (okay jealous to some degree)... and YET - I also give MAJOR PROPS to GMA's sound team for correcting the distraction of her mic/necklace. I agree with many in the chat about how Ms. Shields has her own style of class, presence, and RESPECT.
Great video and I like Brooke Shields she is a great actress.😍
Brook is such s class act!! There aren’t many women like her in that industry!! Go BROOK!!!!
Brooke Shield is ageless and still very beautiful. She is beautiful inside out.
😘Say whatever you can about Brooke,but she is beautiful
Wish someone would have fixed the mic so that we weren’t hearing it rub up against her necklace.
I'm the same age as Brooke, I remember seeing Pretty Baby, it was shocking, but, I understood she was acting, why couldn't the adults get that? It was shown on late night TV the following year.
I only watched it once as a teenager on tv years ago I thought this was shocking but a good story at the same time.
But sadly the film depicts reality, children have been sold for sex, labor etc. for centuries and unfortunately still happening now
No one denied it was only a movie. But, what truly intelligent people know is that it's not okay to present any child in a sexualized way. And please remember that what you saw on late night TV was highly edited to make it acceptable to run on even late night TV.
Interrupting hosts, whenever the interviewee is about to say something interesting. 🙄
I watched the first part so far, but I can't help but notice the lack of blame that she is putting on her mother, and rather placing on all men in society. She talks about how her mother always wanted to be "fabulous," and clearly she was willing to exploit her daughter to get there. Yet Brooke blames evil men and the public for her sexualization. She even talked about how her mother let a man take nude photos of her when she was 9! What mother does that?! She was sick enough to let her daughter walk around nude in front of cameras and pose provocatively, yet Brooke doesn't say ANYTHING about how horrible her mother actually was. I'm confused. Stop blaming society and men, stop say that women are all innocent, because this shows actually how evil women CAN be.
Still breathtaking 🥂
She looks more beautiful in pink and red.
Well! Did you know that there's a movie called "Pretty in Pink"?
I'm so glad for her
Well Allie and George just love you and it’s seen, and your best interest with you in mind through the whole thing, I love your friendships with them 😊👏👏👏 great job,
3:20 Time for Girl Talk. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes fans, cinema shows are the most welcomed gifts for Easter celebrations, wishing everybody enjoy the Renaissance spirit, never let bad guys win to screw us the joy of life big loving hug awesome performers that make our lives a better place, big loving hug adorable Brooke , wishing hundred years more on the top of the world hunny
Look at this host the Blondie wearing pink too..Why wouldn't she change her jacket off she knew Brooke was wearing it ...101 of interviewing
"All aboard the victim train ! "
ABC so unprofessional letting George use the show to promote his business and documentary
I think it can be a little hard to judge the mom completely. I mean Brooke is in a totally different era and financial place with her kids than her mom was with her.
Hello 👋 how are you doing
Using the name "Pretty Baby" for the documentary still feels very exploitive of Brook e Shields as a child. Brooke Shields seems as if she is more wanting validation for her acting talent back then and recognition of how good the films were by making the comment that the focus was always on the exploitation of her instead of her talent and the quality of a movie. This make me feel she needs more inner work and healing around what happened to her. I'm wondering if her youngest daughter is sensing this, too. I watched the movie "Pretty Baby" many times when I was a child, remembering many of the lines. But I wasn't allowed to watch any other movies that had "normal" sexual content. Why?..because my dad was a pedophile and this was the perfect movie for him. It normalized this type of relationship in the movie, even making you feel badly for the couple (the child and the adult man) at the very end when they are separated. It was literally portrayed as a love story. So why use the name "Pretty Baby" for the documentary?
First of all, I'm so very sorry for the childhood you experienced. I wish you continued healing. I'm only about 5 years older than Brooke, and back when Pretty Baby was happening, even I knew it was wrong. Don't be fooled into thinking there was no backlash. Still a kid myself, I distinctly remember the uproar over presenting a child in such a sexualized way. While I found it disgusting, sadly, it only seemed to serve as box office fodder. Meanwhile, every adult involved in the film repeatedly defended it, including Brooke's own mother. Clearly, they were only motivated by greed, fame, or something darker. Brooke at the time was too young and too innocent to realize the very serious connotations of being presented in such a sexualized manner, not just for herself, but for all children. She was a sweet kid who wanted to please her mother and every adult in the room. She was focused on being professional and trying her best to do a good job, and she approached the role that way. I remember that in interviews she herself innocently protested the backlash and defended her role. The whole thing is just plain sad. I can understand the industry misusing her because their motivation was either greed or something far sinister, but I can't get past the mother going along with it.

Or Susan Sarandon ever let her young daughter play the role? I'm gonna assume the answer would be a giant "NO".
The title fits to tell her side of the narrative. That movie shot her into the spotlight and was the beginning of several controversial / innapropriate roles as a child. She was treated/ exploited like a "pretty baby".. The title is very fitting for a documentary talking about that experience.
Another Underdog that needs a Comeback on WHITE LOTUS
At 1.01 Brooke talks about having a voice and the guy just cuts her off
I think she's a great actress and funny
Dang necklace
Dang sound guy!
Pretty Baby was a dangerous film no matter how artfuly done. Putting a light on sex with children in a way that could be seen as appealing is just reakless and I am sure hurt children somewhere because of it.
How did they not know that her necklace was going to be clattering and scraping against the mic throughout the entire interview? Very distracting!
She should say that it is NOT art! An 11 year old girl having a sexual scene with a 30 year old man is disgusting. My god I wish she would just say it
So why didn't you go with one of the Networks? Even Amazon or Netflix..... I don't have Hulu... Lots of people who are your fan don't have Hulu. Not fair. Isn't Hulu owned by ABC or NBC ? .... Why Hulu ????
People felt the criminal behavior regarding your life, there was a yuck factor. Love ❤️ you Brooke.
Now fire the sound technician or sound engineer or whatever it is called in the USA for not noticing the necklace touching the microphone before the broadcast starts. I expect that Brooke put the necklace on after she got miked otherwise the person who put the microphone on her, must be a blind person or the coffee guy. This is amateur mistake but on such an noticeable spot ??? I also blame the others on set right because it is at such an easy to spot place. cameramen, presenters, light people, director, etc etc. This can only happen when there is no team but just individuals concerned with their own little part of the production. the new position solution after the break is a risky one.
Yep. You and I are the only two people commenting here who seem to have noticed that!
@@Luna_and_Miles maybe we are the only two people watching who are sound engineers :)?
Just NOOOOO!!!!! She says it was not wrong or inappropriate 2 do Pretty Baby??? What the what??? Also does not name her rapist!!!! Who is still a big Hollywood executive. So many things about this is wrong!!!!!
I love Brooke but this interview is a sound engineer's nightmare.
Fire the sound guy. POOR KA ILIER PLACEMENT GOOD F ING LORD‼️‼️‼️‼️
And now back to
“Merge Gardens” 2:44
George interrupted her at 1:15 when she wasn't done talking about her voice change. What she was about to share is how the more we come into our own, the deeper our voice gets ... our voice changes resonance once we feel strong inside.
I watched this in one sitting. Oh my God! All those adults that took advantage of her beauty and talent as a little girl, that those adults were trying to normalize children in s-xually suggestive parts! Her Mom was seriously messed up traipsing her daughter all around Hollywood putting her in those roles!!! Ugh. It makes me very nauseated. Poor Brooke having to go through all of that so young. Terri Shields was truly vile. 🤬It was sadly such a codependent relationship. 😓
Sick of the ppl who monopolized on ALL the wonderful pleasures of LIFE while the others of US had life bad (WE HAD NO💲🛌🥂👗👩⚕️🏘️🚗 ETC ETC ETC TO ACCOMPANY)!
How lovely you got chosen to have a better life than most only to now claim how horrible it was and on this date earn more money and fame by writing a book about it.
Thanks for ALL the housewives who can't wait to use our night job money to buy it!!!
Brooke said she lost respect "For" the industry, not "In" the industry. Poorly framed question from Juju!
I think her best work was on friends.
'Never told I was talented'.. OH how shocking ! LOL she's entitled to be talented.
So, she's written two best selling books about her experience as a child actor, but still feeling the need to revisit this? Unfinished business is simply finished, but perhaps not for a celebrity who can capitalize on it. But she may only know the business and perhaps this is where most child actors failed.
‘They would put all the illness on me’ . This should be repeated in each and every interview.
I 💖 Him
❤
