Despite her efforts to be taken seriously as an actress, Brooke Shields has been unable to escape her youth, during which time she found herself in the precarious position of simultaneously being idolized as a late-'70s icon of adolescent wholesome virginal innocence and being constantly photographed in manners verging on the mildly pornographic. Shields' early career was managed and pushed by her mother, Teri Shields, a small-time actress who placed her daughter in front of the camera before she was even one. As the Ivory Snow baby, Shields was once hailed as the "most beautiful baby in America." After spending many years hawking products, she was in such demand that her mother started marketing her under the logo "Brooke Shields & Co." Shields made her feature film debut in Alice Sweet Alice (1976), but did not become a bona fide star until French director Louis Malle cast her as a 12-year-old New Orleans prostitute who becomes the romantic obsession of a much older painter in Pretty Baby (1978). The film was released amidst great controversy because of the scenes in which Shields (or a body double representing her) appeared nude. But while she did participate in some adult scenes, those moments were handled with taste and discretion by Malle and his cinematographer, Sven Nyquist, and the general consensus was that Shields was not exploited in the film. Thus far, her acting in Pretty Baby remains Shields' best. Through her teens, Shields was among the world's top fashion models and her countenance was everywhere. Controversy again stirred when she did some provocative ads for Calvin Kline in which she was seen wearing a too tight pair of jeans and cooed, "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins." This was in contrast to her other ads in which she advised young girls to abstain from sex and a different campaign against smoking. At the peak of her fame, Shields appeared three times on the cover of Life magazine and once on the cover of Time. Her film career picked up around this time with appearances in such venues as King of the Gypsies (1978) and Wanda Nevada (1979), but her best-known film is the so-bad-it's-good The Blue Lagoon (1980) in which she and teenage hunk Christopher Atkins find themselves shipwrecked for years on a desert island. Ostensibly, the film is a tender tale about innocence and true love, but it's primarily a titillating romp filled with plenty of flesh shots of Shields and Atkins' taut, tanned, and partially clad bodies. In 1981, Shields tried her hand with a more serious role in Franco Zeffirelli's tepid teen romance Endless Love, but did not succeed. Shields decided it was time for college and so enrolled in Princeton, where but for the occasional appearance on a Bob Hope television special, made-for-TV movie, or other special event, she immersed herself in college life. While there, she majored in French Literature and also became interested in the theater, gaining experience in two regional productions of Love Letters. Shields graduated from Princeton with honors. Upon her graduation, Shields returned to acting full time and appeared in films that can most kindly be described as mediocre. In 1996, Shields was given her own situation comedy on NBC network's Suddenly Susan, where she played a single career girl struggling to reassemble her life following her breakup with her wealthy fiancé. Though never among the most natural and relaxed of actresses, Shields gradually grew into her role and proved to be a competent, charismatic comedy actress, turning in guest appearances on popular television shows such as That 70s Show, Nip/Tuck, Two and a Half Men, and Hannah Montana after Suddenly Susan went off the air in 2000. Meanwhile, on Broadway, Shields could bee seen in revivals of Grease, Cabaret, and Chicago before taking over the role of Morticia Addams in the Broadway musical version of The Addams Family. In 1997 Shields married tennis great Andre Agassi, but the union only lasted two years and in 200

QUOTES FROM Brooke Shields CHARACTERS
Wanda Nevada says: Everybody knows there ain't no gold in the Grand Canyon.
Richard says: Take it back! Take back what you said!
Emmeline says: I've seen it all! What happens after you've been doing it in a long time?
Richard says: Shut up! That's not fair peeking! I don't peek on you!
Emmeline says: That's a lie! You're always staring at my buppies.
Richard says: Only because they look so funny! You know what you look like now, Em? You look like one of those pictures that Paddy had in his drawer. One of his hootchie-cootchie girls!
Emmeline says: (imitating Richard) It doesn't scare them off unless I can spear them!
Emmeline says: (throws an umbrella that acted as the spear)
Richard says: Aw, spear you!
Richard says: What are you LOOKING at?
Emmeline says: Your muscles.
Richard says: What about them? You're really acting silly lately, Em. Always saying DUMB things like that. Always LOOKING at me funny! You're not coming down with something, are you? Don't give it to me.
Richard says: There's so many things I don't understand, like why do the fish stop swimming and lie on top of the tide pools after the heavy rain? Why do you hear the waves inside the big shells? Why are all these funny hairs growing on me? I wish a big book with the answers to every question in the world would drop out of the sky and land in my hands right now. I'd read it till I knew everything.
Emmeline says: Oh, Richard, you can't know everything. Only God knows everything.
Richard says: God - He can't find us any better than Santa Claus.
Richard says: I have a funny feeling in my stomach.
Emmeline says: Me too.
Richard says: My heart is beating so fast.
Emmeline says: Mine too.
Richard says: (while eating fruit) Kiss me.
Richard says: Kiss me.
Emmeline says: You're all sticky!
Richard says: So what? Kiss me!
Emmeline says: (kisses Richard, but Richard won't let her go) Stop! I can't breathe!
Emmeline says: Stop! I can't breathe!
Richard says: But I don't wanna stop.
Jade says: You know what I keep thinking about? A night in the house. I was a little girl, and then I saw David all alone. And I don't know. I just... I wanted to go to him. Was that wrong? I wasn't a happy little girl anymore. Something changed. The first time in my life I was me.
Anne says: Life goes on. We change.
Jade says: But it hurts. It hurts so much.
Anne says: Oh, Baby, it all happened so fast for you. When you live a lifetime you'll understand it.
Jade says: But he loved me. He loves me! No one will ever love me as much.
Anne says: Many people will love you. You see.
Jade says: But not like that. Not like David.
Jade says: It was a once in a lifetime thing, David. I know that! And it came in a time when we were too young to handle it. That was the terrible part.
David says: I'll never stop loving you
Jade says: You can't say that. You don't know.
David says: Yes I do. I knew that from the very first. I'll never stop loving you. Never wanna. You're all I care about! And me. The person I am when I'm with you.
Jade says: What would you do if I died?
David says: I'd die... I'd die too.
Emmeline says: I see you playing with it
Emmeline says: I see you playing with it.
Violet says: I know what to do.Leave me alone.
Violet says: I know what to do. Leave me alone.
