She has always seemed a compelling mix of wholesomeness and glamour, forthrightness and mystery.
Wholesome? Explain the movie Pretty Baby. "A teenage girl lives as a prostitute in the early decades of America, only to know her body is for bounty."

Yea I saw that in the article.
Yes I remember “Pretty Baby”
However she was a minor when she did that film and her mother, Teri Shields was her manager and put her up to that.
I’m actually shocked Brooke did not end up dead like JonBenet Ramsey.

Have you seen the movie?
Do you understand that a movie role is not the actor’s real life?

It’s a movie. Did she do it in real life?
To: Morgana
She could fill out her jordache jeans.

How about some follow through with her relationship with grandpa, Maria.

It was a movie, but I’ll never understand her mother putting her up to that. I’d never do that to my daughter.

Wholesome? Explain the movie Pretty Baby. OK...real slow now...
"Pretty Baby" was not an Brook Shields autobiographical film...

Brooke is beautiful but I could never get past those low flying eyebrows. Glad life has turned out well for her.

I love her eyebrows. I loathe those plucked, pencil thin ones so many women favor, ugh. Not attractive.

Her mother used her. Child Welfare officials in CA would not let her appear in the film, no matter where it was filmed, so they moved to NJ.

I love her in the reading glasses commercial.
Something us aging baby boomers can relate to.

Weird article.
No mention of Shields’ opinion on abortion.
Is she not a pro-Abortion liberal?
And wholesome?
Louis Malle’s (Candace Bergen’s husband) Pretty Baby was a morally ambiguous explicit film about a Pre-pubescent child prostitute. Receivers such as Roger Ebert felt compelled to make statements in their reviews that “this is not child pornography” because the film actually was as close as it gets.

I’ve been waiting for someone famous and accomplished who could have very well been aborted. I did not have her in mind but what about the potential Thomas Edisons’ out there?

I lived in Los Angeles from 2000 to 2007 and often saw Brooke Shields at Sunday Mass. I know people who know her well and attest that she is a practicing Catholic who goes to Mass every Sunday and would not have remarried without having got an annulment. I think she's probably nuts because she's a celeb, but believe she should be given credit for going to church and for simply trying.

“Instead of visiting an abortionist, her mother went to an antique store and used the money to buy a coffee table.”
Love this, hope it’s a true story.
There is nothing better than a good coffee table.
We have a great one, very sturdy, that we bought in the “scratch and dent” section of Ikea who knows how many years ago.
This year I’m actually going to buy my grandson some cooking toys/stuff etc. for Christmas, because when he comes to visit us he enjoys putting things on the lower shelf of the coffee table and telling us that they are “cooking”.
So glad Brooke Shields’ mom chose life!
