What Hollywood Did To Brooke Shields [5Wh0conBe9H]

Brooke Shields became famous before she was old enough to understand what fame meant. She started modeling as a baby, became a global star as a child, and spent much of her youth at the center of controversies that many people now find deeply disturbing. In recent years, Shields has spoken openly about the way she was sexualized as a minor, the pressures of growing up in Hollywood, and the abuse she experienced throughout her career. Her documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields revisits those experiences and examines how the entertainment industry treated young women during that era. Now at 60, Shields says she finally feels free from the expectations that defined much of her life. After decades in film, television, publishing, and advocacy, she is reclaiming her own story and speaking about the past on her own terms.
