Regardless of what she endured you have to give her so much credit that she stayed off of drugs she's lived as long as she has when so many in Hollywood her age died young and she's raised a relatively normal family that's a credit to her and her character
then brooke called them and their whole generation out on posting their bodies on social media. lmfao. brooke did the movie for art/professional purposes. her kids do it for attention.
@@melanie97xjunex19 everyone and everything is exploited. the environment animals and yes, all people. if you dont like it stop buying all products including clothes and food grown overseas with slave labor. youd be shocked at where your everyday products come from.
If she was so strong, bold and brave she would be primarily shaming, blaming and calling out her mother for signing her up and giving permission for her to be sexualized and exploited in those films and magazines.
How is bad mouthing her past films courageous? Standing up for those films and making an argument for them that treats people as adults and not children who need to be wrapped in cotton wool would've been courageous. What Brooke Shields did here was engage in the laziest form of virtue signalling to get her face on camera one last time. Pathetic!
I'm also wondering why it's OK for sexually charged shows about teenagers like euphoria? So it's OK for 25 year olds to act as teenagers and perform in highly sexual roles where old men would surely fantasize about them. Seems to me this is also sexualing teenagers.
@@a.jlondon9039 Supply and demand. It's the perverted men who make the demand, and inevitably desperate people in bad situations will give that supply. So tell those men that. If not for them there would be no reason to do sex work or stripping. Who owns the strip bars, the adult movie sets, the brothels, etc? Who are the customers? 99% MEN who are sexualizing and objectifying women
@secretpal6039. I think Brooke had a good mum who loved her very much. She just struggled with drink that's all. I would've swapped places with Brooke in a heart beat back in the day. She had it all. She even said in one interview aged 18 that she wasn't at all affected by any of the movies she had been in. You can't judge how things were back in the 70s to how things are today. It was a different time.
@@rachelbailey52 It was a different time. However, people were uncomfortable with the movie when it came out and it was questioned. The difference is that the director avoided the spotlight on his judgement.
After everything she’s been through, she’s come through with such a good head on her shoulders! She’s very level headed, strong, down-to-earth! Her life could have gone South and turned into a trainwreck like so many of the poor young child actors and actresses out there but thank goodness she came out on top!👏😃👍✨💖✨
Brooke is really smart, intellectually as well as emotionally. She's dealing with what she lived through. And her girls are obviously bright and aware of these issues. Men have made millions off of these girls, and they continue to.
While watching the documentary, you can visibly see Brooke’s negative and confused body language reactions to men’s inappropriate questions during interviews. There are clusters of this body language with Brooke, as well. It is sad watching this, especially since she was so young.
she save that little girl quotes hit me hard, it is so important to listen to your inner voice and believe in it... self-talk is such a key to human development.
Brooke Shields has been So Resilient, Strong, and Courageous after enduring some very difficult moments of her young career, God’s Blessings to Brooke Shields and her family.
This is why we're all so sensitive to all of that today because there was just so much abuse all the time that we're all fed up and sick of it and rightfully so. That's why. So it's not that we're too sensitive but that we just can't tolerate that anymore. It was wrong then and it is wrong now.
This is what everyone should want to see happen. Raised in a star atmosphere as a child and coming out the other side as a respected, dignified human being.
There's nothing bold and brave about it, it's just simply called being a smart, caring and responsible parent who is supposed to discuss the positives and negatives about life and society that their daughters and/or sons may face. Y'all give celebs too much praise for doing typical and expected things.😒
@@dorandacolbert5973 If she was truly brave, she would be primarily blaming and shaming her mother for signing her up and giving permission for her to be sexualized and exploited by Hollywood. 😐
Yeah, her mum was a pimp but Shields has a bit of Stockholm syndrome. I feel like she's crying to protect her mum in a way, she was her mum's carer for a long time when she was an alcoholic
She's not delusional. That's why she's doing this project. The movies such as "Pretty Baby" "Blue Lagoon".... They were supposed to portray some sort of twisted innocent "art". Where we saw a young woman, in a strange situation that most innocent young ladies aren't in and this is what captured audiences of all kinds. Now, we're realizing that what this "art" really translates into, is a little girl who was in child pornography and was celebrated for it and had to figure out what that meant and how to deal with it at the age of 11. And how can we stop this cycle from continuing to repeat itself because even if it's no longer legal to cast an 11 year old in a role like that, we shouldn't cast a 20 year old as being 11 and call it art just so we can sexualize these films and our society. There's nothing wrong with being beautiful, with wanting to be beautiful. There's everything wrong with a young girl thinking she's nothing if she's not looked at in that way.
I have known for a long time that Brooke Shields is a great dresser and a fabulous woman, I follow her on Instagram… but sometimes that kind of beauty doesn’t translate to the TV screen. But not this lady! I have to say… she looks really good. Her long wavy hair is still glorious and the red suit is beautifully structured, very powerful fashion statement.
She is living proof that men mostly older men are the predators and threat too women and the reason feminism exists and is still needed too today all my respect and love too her that she is still alive and came out the other side, such an inspiration and role model too us women!! 👀👌🥰 🙌👀💯✨
There were alot of things that were normal back in those days that are now no longer accepted the male host from family feud used to peck each female contestant right on the lips
@stwaters1147 it's wrong that so many people are judging the 70s to how things are today. It was a different time back then. If I could go back to the 1970s then I gladly would to escape this sick politically correct world we are now living in. Everything today is sensored. It's become a fascist state. For starters there's too many gays on t.v. It's us that's a fucked up society not the 1970s.
This whole thing is exploitative. At 11 years old she's going to be cast as a child prostitute in Pretty Baby. Somebody had to say 'yes' to that. Her mother said 'yes' to that. Not Louis Malle and not Merv Griffin. If it is now child pornography then her mother was the 'groomer' who got her daughter into it. At 14 she's in The Blue Lagoon, again cast as a sex object. She couldn't agree to taking that part without her mother's approval. Men are not the problem here, a grown ass woman, who is supposed to be acting in her daughter's best interests, is the problem. I don't know how old she was when she did the Calvin Klein ad but she was in it for one reason and one reason only, her sexuality. She was pimped by her mother. And now that she's 'clearing all the skeletons from the closet" in this documentary film, what does she call it: Pretty Baby; the name of the movie that featured her as an 11 year old prostitute, the one that her daughters labeled 'child pornography'. I don't see bravery here, I see exploitation of a young girl by her mother, and I see the exploited Brooke Shields exploiting her own sordid past to advance the only film in decades to have her in the starring role. It all stinks.
I love how Brooke is able to see that her mom made mistakes without hating her mother or completely throwing her under the bus or forgetting anything good about her. Her mother had her own story and past and wounds too. Not saying I would blame Brooke at all if she didn’t feel like being understanding. But I think it’s really beautiful that she gives her mom grace and recognizes how hard life can be and how we all screw up.
At nine years she got her first (or second) role in a horror movie, "Alice Sweet Alice", where she was being murdered. At ten years she appeared nude in "Playboy". So there was already some traumatic history there, she was being groomed. Only after that, at twelve, was she cast as a child prostitute in "Pretty Baby" . And her (very manly looking) mother said in an interview at the time, without any shame: "I think, it's the mix of innocence and sexuality in a child what's really APPETIZING to people..." (something to this effect). With Brooke looking away, as if she is about to die. At 12:57 czcams.com/video/wu7EP2Uk1vk/video.html Yeah, right, she threw her child to the wolves, and collected the money. And Brooke defends her to this day!
troll23.... I totally agree with what you say. I think she is in denial about her mother. It's horrifying to think the film Pretty Baby is still being shown. It's child pornography. Anyone who has seen it, can't deny it. It should be forbidden. Surprised it's not. There are some well known actors in it who ought to be ashamed. When the film Lolita was remade, it was condemned and failed. I wonder how this one is ok.
@@ingridbergman-vz7goI don’t think she’s in denial about her mother. She recognises her mother was wrong & deeply dysfunctional. But this can coexist with still loving her & having the maturity to contextualise her mother’s actions. It’s a lot easier for strangers on the internet to condemn her mother outright than for the daughter herself. Relationships are complex & there was still love there. The uncomfortable truth is that Brooke wouldn’t be the huge & wealthy star she is now with the platform to highlight these issues had her mother not managed her career from childhood.
Her sex tape was released without her knowledge or consent and all the other explicit images of her that were posted online were taken from a cell phone she left in a storage locker that she forgot about that someone bought
Different lens? She's still sees those roles as art, tasteful and creative, she doesn't denounce them. Her daughters actually have the correct lens and she seems so dumbfounded and perplexed that they think so😅
Thank you for posting this. I noticed the same thing. It’s so bizarre. It’s ABSOLUTELY child pornography. After all these years, considering the age she is now, how can she possibly still see it as art?? Baffling.
@@kristinrichmond8185 They were literally made for men to jerk off to. The playboy spread was not just for artistic purposes lol. He mum is a pimp and brook has Stockholm syndrome
@@wintermonroe2894 Yeah, that't what I took from it. The movie is one thing, but literally posing in a pornography magazine for adult men is legit child pornography, and she pretends it's just art to cope.
Leif Garrets mom gave Brooks mom big time praise in regard to her putting her foot down against a lot of the big hollywood bs, and said she wished she had been stronger. There wasn't that many young actors in that A list circle back in the mid-late 70s, there was Leif, Shawn Cassidy, Jodi Foster, Kristy McNichols, and Tatum Oneil. I'm a couple yrs younger than Brooke and as a kid I thought Jodi was the toughest, but Kristy IMO was the best, and it's her I feel sorry for most, and I hope she's okay today.
I also think this "no substance" current pop culture that dismisses the importance of love with sex is something that's going to come back to haunt "a boatload" of young ppl that buy into that 20 years from now, if and when they realize what's important in life.
I tried watching this documentary, and just couldn't figure out what the point was? Its definitely made to cast Brooke in a victim light, but the producer couldn't figure out how to steer the audience to accomplish that goal. Yes, the early childhood stuff was exploitative. But I blame her mother for that. I think this had the potential to be good, but I gave up in the 2nd episode. I kept thinking, "get to the point".
what she said at 6min 30 second is true though about tiktok and instagrams, her kids said, "Mom, thats like pornography" at her movies pretty baby(11 year old) and blue lagoon(14 year old) then when asked about their tiktok and instagram in bikini, they said, "thats different, i am posting it myself " and then brooke went on to explain and how they believe in and feel empowered by what they post but they still present themself to be gazed at, to be liked and clicked and stared at and analyzed and objectified, so its slightly ironic having those conversations
What an eloquent lady and she should be so proud of all she's achieved as an actress; especially Pretty Baby. Loving and not blaming her mum is a good thing. No doubt, her mum had her best interests at heart and felt that she could protect her, which to a certain extent she did. Pretty Baby is cinematically stunning albeit with a disturbing story to tell. Brooke Shields, doesn't come across as 'provocative' in the role; as her innocence and beauty shine through; portraying a vulnerable little girl; with grace and precision as a fine, young actress; navigating life in a brothel. However, the film shines a huge light, on the degradation of older men; who seek children out for gratuitous purposes ( remembering they are actors) I'm glad that she was unaware of being exploitated by Hollywood at the time; and was able to escape to University and lead a more normal life. I wish her all the best
Ikr; you know I think why she may have let Brooke do those films like Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon? I think she saw how Linda Blair and Tatum O' Neal had taken edgy roles at young ages in films like The Exorcist and Paper Moon or Jodi Foster in Taxi Driver and she just wanted her daughter to become a huge star. Crazy how in the 70s so many edgy films had children in significant roles.
Her daughter would give anything to have the fame she does. She tries to be so "cool" like, "I'm posting the objectifying photo of myself so it's ok.".....such hypocrisy. Brooke was my idol when I was young. I am only one year younger. I still have every magazine I could get my hands on back then. I know every image of her. She was IT. I never once thought of her as sexy because I was young so most went right over my head. We loved her because she was the good girl. She embodied all that I wanted to be AS A PERSON.
Yeah you're right, these days they will either sexualize and exploit themselves or if they're underage, their mother will sign off on and give permission for them to be sexualized and exploited like in the case of what happened with Brooke Shields and those girls that were provided to R.Kelly by their mothers. You have to admit these days men don't have to do it, 99 percent of the time women do it to themselves or to other women for the most part and often times it is by choice.😐
I don't like how shes open to tell all about how she was sexually abused years after the event, but not ok to give any names out. It could have happened to other girls and she could have been their voice, She could have been brave enough, but instead she practically protected him. Her mother should be ashamed of herself. In my opinion i think brook shields is extremely gaslighted, and her mother made her famous and also a target. i feel very sorry for Brook Sheilds. (No matter how well she has done) 🌷
Shields is right, when you put yourself out there and sexualize yourself you can't have it both ways. You have to own it and not complain about being objectified. I think women today, especially young girls and young people in general are SO confused about boundaries and accountability. It's one thing when someone else exploits us, when we're powerless - it's something altogether different when we go out and do it ourselves and expect something different. It's like that old saying, when you do the same thing over and over and expect to get a different result it's the definition of insanity. Our society is quite frankly, a little insane.
Exactly. Two things can be true at once. The mother was responsible, but the directors were also to blame for making such films with such scenes in the first place.
And this week in Missouri, a State Senator argued in favor of 12-year-olds marrying adults. "I know people who got married at twelve and, guess what, they are still married".
Love Brooke, she is so grand and talented in Pretty Baby, what a gorgeous beauty forever and always. Love her personality, playful confident sassy sense of humour and creativity and inner wisdom. Great interview about Pretty Baby, her new documentary. ❤😍🥰😘🤩 🌟 ✨
Sometimes I wish we would start talking about young guys too:/ A lot of people say it’s different cuz they’re guys and “they like it.” Well I don’t think that’s necessarily true and it’s not fair. Two words & something we need to talk about: Timothee Chalamet.
Paris Hilton shouldn't be compared to Brooke, Lindsay, or Britney because while, yes, she was treated bad in her 20s in the 00s by society and the media---she was NOT a teen star. She was like 22 when she first blew up in the media. Britney was 17, Brooke was 11/12 ish, Lindsay was like 17 (when Freaky Friday and Mean Girls came out -- yes I know Parent Trap came out when she was 10). Anyways, they were truly teen stars. Brooke is still very pretty btw. Can't believe she's 57 now!
Paris hilton was sexually abused as a teen and had a sex tape come out when she was 19 by an older man. These experiences groomed her for the chaos she would endure in her 20s, she was also lowkey industry circles as a teen
There's a difference between complimenting someone and leaving it at that, as opposed to her beauty and only her beauty being the focal point of interviews.
Your haven't seen all the 80s game shows theres one were the host is asking the girls about their dating & sex life in a creepy way & his wife realize he was a petaphyle and divorced him
*!!!Citizens of the United States and other NATO countries should know that your governments supply weapons to Ukrainian militants. Who have been shelling peaceful Donetsk for more than 9 years. The Ukrainian army is shelling not only peaceful Donetsk, but also many other small towns. As well as the city of Belgorod and the cities of the Kursk region. The artillery of Ukraine does not spare anyone, neither women, nor children, nor peaceful housing, nor kindergartens and schools. The United States has supplied more than two million shells for army artillery alone. Not to mention other types of weapons. Including anti-personnel mines, which also affect children. Think about it!!! Are the destroyed Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan not enough for you!? And now Ukraine. If you believe your TV, then remember what happened two years ago. Do you remember what they told you when they locked you at home?!? If you want to be fools, then believe them further.* *!!!Граждане Соединенных Штатов и других стран НАТО должны знать, что ваши правительства поставляют оружие украинским боевикам.

Артиллерия Украины не щадит никого, ни женщин, ни детей, ни мирное жилье, ни детские сады и школы. Только для армейской артиллерии Соединенные Штаты поставили более двух миллионов снарядов. Не говоря уже о других видах оружия. Включая противопехотные мины, от которых также страдают дети. Подумай об этом!!! Неужели вам недостаточно разрушенных Вьетнама, Югославии, Ирака, Сирии, Ливии и Афганистана!? А теперь еще и Украина. Если вы верите своему телевизору, то вспомните, что произошло два года назад. Ты помнишь, что они тебе сказали, когда заперли тебя дома?!? Если вы хотите быть дураками, то верьте им и дальше.*
I always remember when you and your Mother accepted an invitation from the Sultan of Brunai to spend time on his yacht. An older man spending time with a 15 year old girl?
What happened to Brook as a child should not have, and as a women to be raped is wrong, and criminal. However all these women MUST start naming the rapist.
Regardless of what she endured you have to give her so much credit that she stayed off of drugs she's lived as long as she has when so many in Hollywood her age died young and she's raised a relatively normal family that's a credit to her and her character

I love how Brooke is able to see that her mom made mistakes without hating her mother or completely throwing her under the bus or forgetting anything good about her. Her mother had her own story and past and wounds too. Not saying I would blame Brooke at all if she didn’t feel like being understanding. But I think it’s really beautiful that she gives her mom grace and recognizes how hard life can be and how we all screw up.
At nine years she got her first (or second) role in a horror movie, "Alice Sweet Alice", where she was being murdered. At ten years she appeared nude in "Playboy". So there was already some traumatic history there, she was being groomed. Only after that, at twelve, was she cast as a child prostitute in "Pretty Baby" . And her (very manly looking) mother said in an interview at the time, without any shame: "I think, it's the mix of innocence and sexuality in a child what's really APPETIZING to people..." (something to this effect). With Brooke looking away, as if she is about to die.

Yeah, right, she threw her child to the wolves, and collected the money. And Brooke defends her to this day!
troll23.... I totally agree with what you say. I think she is in denial about her mother. It's horrifying to think the film Pretty Baby is still being shown. It's child pornography. Anyone who has seen it, can't deny it. It should be forbidden. Surprised it's not. There are some well known actors in it who ought to be ashamed.
When the film Lolita was remade, it was condemned and failed. I wonder how this one is ok.
@@ingridbergman-vz7goI don’t think she’s in denial about her mother. She recognises her mother was wrong & deeply dysfunctional. But this can coexist with still loving her & having the maturity to contextualise her mother’s actions. It’s a lot easier for strangers on the internet to condemn her mother outright than for the daughter herself. Relationships are complex & there was still love there.
The uncomfortable truth is that Brooke wouldn’t be the huge & wealthy star she is now with the platform to highlight these issues had her mother not managed her career from childhood.
WHO WOULD LET THEIR 11 YEAR PLAY A HOOKER?
Ikr idk smh 🤦♀️ God help the world...
SHES HAS A NICE SMILE
Caitlyn Jenner
"People think I'm a sexual symbol"
- Paris "I'm going to release a sex tape" Hilton
Her sex tape was released without her knowledge or consent and all the other explicit images of her that were posted online were taken from a cell phone she left in a storage locker that she forgot about that someone bought
So many women today still don’t take responsibility for objectifying themselves.
Different lens? She's still sees those roles as art, tasteful and creative, she doesn't denounce them. Her daughters actually have the correct lens and she seems so dumbfounded and perplexed that they think so😅
Thank you for posting this. I noticed the same thing. It’s so bizarre. It’s ABSOLUTELY child pornography. After all these years, considering the age she is now, how can she possibly still see it as art?? Baffling.
@@kristinrichmond8185 yeah ikr but she has to probably keep that perspective to keep her sanity fr....it's probably easier for her to accept it idk
@@kristinrichmond8185 They were literally made for men to jerk off to. The playboy spread was not just for artistic purposes lol. He mum is a pimp and brook has Stockholm syndrome
@@wintermonroe2894 Yeah, that't what I took from it. The movie is one thing, but literally posing in a pornography magazine for adult men is legit child pornography, and she pretends it's just art to cope.
Leif Garrets mom gave Brooks mom big time praise in regard to her putting her foot down against a lot of the big hollywood bs, and said she wished she had been stronger. There wasn't that many young actors in that A list circle back in the mid-late 70s, there was Leif, Shawn Cassidy, Jodi Foster, Kristy McNichols, and Tatum Oneil. I'm a couple yrs younger than Brooke and as a kid I thought Jodi was the toughest, but Kristy IMO was the best, and it's her I feel sorry for most, and I hope she's okay today.
I also think this "no substance" current pop culture that dismisses the importance of love with sex is something that's going to come back to haunt "a boatload" of young ppl that buy into that 20 years from now, if and when they realize what's important in life.
She is amazing!!
I tried watching this documentary, and just couldn't figure out what the point was? Its definitely made to cast Brooke in a victim light, but the producer couldn't figure out how to steer the audience to accomplish that goal. Yes, the early childhood stuff was exploitative. But I blame her mother for that. I think this had the potential to be good, but I gave up in the 2nd episode. I kept thinking, "get to the point".
what she said at 6min 30 second is true though about tiktok and instagrams, her kids said, "Mom, thats like pornography" at her movies pretty baby(11 year old) and blue lagoon(14 year old) then when asked about their tiktok and instagram in bikini, they said, "thats different, i am posting it myself " and then brooke went on to explain and how they believe in and feel empowered by what they post but they still present themself to be gazed at, to be liked and clicked and stared at and analyzed and objectified, so its slightly ironic having those conversations
What an eloquent lady and she should be so proud of all she's achieved as an actress; especially Pretty Baby.
Loving and not blaming her mum is a good thing. No doubt, her mum had her best interests at heart and felt that she could protect her, which to a certain extent she did.
Pretty Baby is cinematically stunning albeit with a disturbing story to tell.
Brooke Shields, doesn't come across as 'provocative' in the role; as her innocence and beauty shine through; portraying a vulnerable little girl; with grace and precision as a fine, young actress; navigating life in a brothel.
However, the film shines a huge light, on the degradation of older men; who seek children out for gratuitous purposes ( remembering they are actors)
I'm glad that she was unaware of being exploitated by Hollywood at the time; and was able to escape to University and lead a more normal life.
I wish her all the best
Ikr; you know I think why she may have let Brooke do those films like Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon? I think she saw how Linda Blair and Tatum O' Neal had taken edgy roles at young ages in films like The Exorcist and Paper Moon or Jodi Foster in Taxi Driver and she just wanted her daughter to become a huge star. Crazy how in the 70s so many edgy films had children in significant roles.
BROOKE IS SWEET
Brooke Shields - class act
Endless love, i was 17,,,,,so romantic
Powerful! ❤🍁
The most interesting is to see how the perception over everything changes with times…
Strong and beautiful inside out.
It was child porn then just the same as today
Her daughter would give anything to have the fame she does. She tries to be so "cool" like, "I'm posting the objectifying photo of myself so it's ok.".....such hypocrisy. Brooke was my idol when I was young. I am only one year younger. I still have every magazine I could get my hands on back then. I know every image of her. She was IT. I never once thought of her as sexy because I was young so most went right over my head. We loved her because she was the good girl. She embodied all that I wanted to be AS A PERSON.
Sexualization of young women will never end.
Yeah you're right, these days they will either sexualize and exploit themselves or if they're underage, their mother will sign off on and give permission for them to be sexualized and exploited like in the case of what happened with Brooke Shields and those girls that were provided to R.Kelly by their mothers. You have to admit these days men don't have to do it, 99 percent of the time women do it to themselves or to other women for the most part and often times it is by choice.😐
It was disturbing how she was treated as a young girl. Really sick.
I don't like how shes open to tell all about how she was sexually abused years after the event, but not ok to give any names out. It could have happened to other girls and she could have been their voice, She could have been brave enough, but instead she practically protected him. Her mother should be ashamed of herself. In my opinion i think brook shields is extremely gaslighted, and her mother made her famous and also a target. i feel very sorry for Brook Sheilds. (No matter how well she has done) 🌷
Admiration, respect, Ms Brooke Shields! Just watched another interview, and you an icon!!❤
Shields is right, when you put yourself out there and sexualize yourself you can't have it both ways. You have to own it and not complain about being objectified. I think women today, especially young girls and young people in general are SO confused about boundaries and accountability. It's one thing when someone else exploits us, when we're powerless - it's something altogether different when we go out and do it ourselves and expect something different. It's like that old saying, when you do the same thing over and over and expect to get a different result it's the definition of insanity. Our society is quite frankly, a little insane.
Wait, so should not the mother have done more to protect her child. Yes both the mother and the director can be wrong.
Exactly. Two things can be true at once. The mother was responsible, but the directors were also to blame for making such films with such scenes in the first place.
And this week in Missouri, a State Senator argued in favor of 12-year-olds marrying adults. "I know people who got married at twelve and, guess what, they are still married".
i thought it was caitlyn jenner in the thumbnail
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Say his name.
She should be looking back at what her mother forced her into.
The fact that she opened up about her abuse and the last second of the video is a advertisement to WATCH pretty baby on Hulu. Wtf.
I'm sorry to hear about her sexual assault. I wish she would have named who did it.
I bet he's still alive.
I'm curious how this movie would've done if the studio's got their way and cast Jodie Foster instead
Jodie Foster, another sexually abused child - by Hollywood. Where was HER mother, btw?
Love Brooke, she is so grand and talented in Pretty Baby, what a gorgeous beauty forever and always. Love her personality, playful confident sassy sense of humour and creativity and inner wisdom. Great interview about Pretty Baby, her new documentary. ❤😍🥰😘🤩 🌟 ✨
She is wise.
It will take a long time before she will be able to recognize that her mother was abusive. It took me a long time as well.
this world is obsessed with women and young females like damn
Honestly speaking, mom is mostly to blame for allowing her to pose nude and deserves the scrutiny!!
Brookes mom was horrible how is she okay wit this
Brooke just keeps getting more beautiful as she ages. She looks a lot like Caitlyn Jenner, who is also a beautiful woman.
CJ is a man.
Sometimes I wish we would start talking about young guys too:/ A lot of people say it’s different cuz they’re guys and “they like it.” Well I don’t think that’s necessarily true and it’s not fair. Two words & something we need to talk about: Timothee Chalamet.
Love her ❤!
Congratulations Brooke Shields. Beautiful woman, inside and out. A survivor.😊
Paris Hilton shouldn't be compared to Brooke, Lindsay, or Britney because while, yes, she was treated bad in her 20s in the 00s by society and the media---she was NOT a teen star. She was like 22 when she first blew up in the media.
Britney was 17, Brooke was 11/12 ish, Lindsay was like 17 (when Freaky Friday and Mean Girls came out -- yes I know Parent Trap came out when she was 10). Anyways, they were truly teen stars.
Brooke is still very pretty btw. Can't believe she's 57 now!
Paris hilton was sexually abused as a teen and had a sex tape come out when she was 19 by an older man. These experiences groomed her for the chaos she would endure in her 20s, she was also lowkey industry circles as a teen
I do think the man who interviewed her just wanted to compliment her. I don't think it was anything sexual, even if it souds terrible.
There's a difference between complimenting someone and leaving it at that, as opposed to her beauty and only her beauty being the focal point of interviews.
Totally agree Lommy. Sometimes ppl read too much into everything.
Your haven't seen all the 80s game shows theres one were the host is asking the girls about their dating & sex life in a creepy way & his wife realize he was a petaphyle and divorced him
*!!!Citizens of the United States and other NATO countries should know that your governments supply weapons to Ukrainian militants. Who have been shelling peaceful Donetsk for more than 9 years. The Ukrainian army is shelling not only peaceful Donetsk, but also many other small towns. As well as the city of Belgorod and the cities of the Kursk region. The artillery of Ukraine does not spare anyone, neither women, nor children, nor peaceful housing, nor kindergartens and schools. The United States has supplied more than two million shells for army artillery alone. Not to mention other types of weapons. Including anti-personnel mines, which also affect children. Think about it!!! Are the destroyed Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan not enough for you!? And now Ukraine. If you believe your TV, then remember what happened two years ago. Do you remember what they told you when they locked you at home?!? If you want to be fools, then believe them further.*
*!!!Граждане Соединенных Штатов и других стран НАТО должны знать, что ваши правительства поставляют оружие украинским боевикам. Которые уже более 9 лет обстреливают мирный Донецк. Украинская армия обстреливает не только мирный Донецк, но и многие другие небольшие города. А также город Белгород и города Курской области. Артиллерия Украины не щадит никого, ни женщин, ни детей, ни мирное жилье, ни детские сады и школы. Только для армейской артиллерии Соединенные Штаты поставили более двух миллионов снарядов. Не говоря уже о других видах оружия. Включая противопехотные мины, от которых также страдают дети. Подумай об этом!!! Неужели вам недостаточно разрушенных Вьетнама, Югославии, Ирака, Сирии, Ливии и Афганистана!? А теперь еще и Украина. Если вы верите своему телевизору, то вспомните, что произошло два года назад. Ты помнишь, что они тебе сказали, когда заперли тебя дома?!? Если вы хотите быть дураками, то верьте им и дальше.*
Kudos: sometimes, my forays into the Comments section are rewarded. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I always remember when you and your Mother accepted an invitation from the Sultan of Brunai to spend time on his yacht. An older man spending time with a 15 year old girl?
Both Edith, PF and Billie Holiday were Young girls raised in a brothel. Believe it or not it’s more normal then you would’ve thought back then.
Una actriz inmortal
Beautiful woman x
Man
It's funny how the nudity is being rightly complained about
But the same people have nothing to say on Balenciaga ads.
Women are treated so badly so often and to see a woman from this industry speak out against this - so eloquently and honestly … I salute her.
What happened to Brook as a child should not have, and as a women to be raped is wrong, and criminal. However all these women MUST start naming the rapist.
Our culture puts way to high a value on hot people and not enough on talent.
Paris Hilton was a sex symbol ?
Ya in her mind she was lol
I always thought she was known for being a clueless rich girl
Agency is a word that has become trendy.
