Brook Shields’ mother had grand ambitions of turning her daughter into a bona fide Hollywood star. With her rare beauty, Brook was thrust into the limelight early on. By the age of 11, she was already a leading model for top fashion brands. At just 15, Brook became a Hollywood sex symbol with her role in the film “Blue Lagoon.”

The provocative scenes in the film did not faze the young actress. However, global fame took its toll, leading her to struggle with depression and an eating disorder.

After appearing in several more films, Brook vanished from the screen. She married tennis star Andre Agassi, a union she hoped would free her from her mother’s influence. Perhaps this is why the marriage didn’t last.

On the other hand, her second marriage to producer Chris Henchy has been a happy one.

They are still together and have raised two daughters. Now, at 59, Brook has opted out of plastic surgery and beauty injections, embracing natural aging. Of course, the years have changed her significantly.
