Brooke Shields
Brooke Shields has always been lovely! At only 5 days old, her mom said, “She’s the most beautiful child and I’m going to help her with her career.” Her first role was in the controversial film Pretty Baby, although she went on to star in The Blue Lagoon and Endless Love as well. She also did TV work and appeared in Suddenly Susan, ER, and Seinfeld. Aside from acting, she also wrote a book called Down Came The Rain. When she spoke to the New York Times, she said, “Since writing about my experiences with the disease, I have been approached by many women who have told me their stories and thanked me for opening up about a topic that is often not discussed because of fear, shame or lack of support and information.”
