What's After the Movie
Brooke Christa Shields is an American actress and model whose career began when she was barely eleven months old, making her first Ivory Soap print for photographer Francesco Scavullo. From that early exposure, she quickly rose to become a cultural touchstone, starring in Louis Malle’s controversial 1978 film Pretty Baby at age eleven, a role that sparked worldwide debate over child exploitation and cemented her status as a media lightning rod. Throughout the 1980s she balanced high‑profile modeling work—including the iconic Calvin Klein jeans campaign—and leading film roles such as The Blue Lagoon (1980) and Franco Zeffirelli’s Endless Love (1981), earning both People’s Choice awards and a Razzie nomination while also breaking records as the youngest cover model for Vogue. In 1983 she paused her entertainment pursuits to attend Princeton University, graduating in 1987 with a BA in Romance languages and publishing her memoir On Your Own during that period. Her return to acting in the 1990s featured a mix of television and stage work, most notably as the titular character of the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan (1996‑2000), which garnered two Golden Globe nominations, and Broadway revivals of Grease and Cabaret. More recent years have seen Shields in recurring roles on Law & Order: SVU, the animated series Mr. Pickles, and a starring part in the Netflix film Mother of the Bride (2024), while also serving as president of the Actors’ Equity Association. Throughout her multifaceted career, she has authored several books, launched a podcast, and remained an outspoken advocate for mental‑health awareness, particularly after sharing her struggle with postpartum depression.
