Well done in depth doc on the life and coming of age and understanding of the beautiful Brooke!
1 June 2023
Growing up and even today as a man I always thought that actress and model Brooke Shields was one of the most beautiful women in the world and still is. Well this "Hulu" doc called "Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields" backs that claim up as it presents things in a blunt and truth telling way with clips, old pictures and interviews with friends, family, and even Brooke herself. Done in two parts the doc follows her from pretty baby to young model and actress, to growing up off to college at Princeton to becoming a successful adult woman. As in the 1980's Brooke was the most famous teenager in the world, yet it was all controversial as in those days her images, photos, and pictures all felt high sexualized to the public. As her early film roles as a 12 year old prostitute in 1978's "Pretty Baby" and starring in hormone and racy driven films like "Endless Love" and "The Blue Lagoon" really did stereotype her image. Still nothing came between Shields and her Calvin ads. Most notable a highlight was the struggle with her mom and manager Teri, plus spotlighted were her relationships with Dean Cain(who it's believed that Brooke lost her virginity to) and Michael Jackson, and her first marriage to tennis great Andre Agassi before she got it right with her current husband as she achieved motherhood with two daughters. Overall super doc that any fans of Shields should watch as it plays tribute to the beautiful Brooke.
