The 57-year-old actress started her career in Hollywood in 1978, when she starred in “Pretty Child.” Brooke was only 11 years old when she was cast as a courtesan. During shooting, the student had to strip naked and kiss her 27-year-old partner Keith Carradine.

Shields continued to work on controversial projects after the film’s triumph. At the age of 14, Brooke played an iconic part in the film “Blue Lagoon,” and a year later she became the face of Calvin Klein Jeans. The young actress posed topless on the scene. When Brooke became famous, one of the photographers, a family member, sold her nude pictures taken at the age of ten for publication in Playboy.

The actress revealed on the set of the documentary “Pretty Child: Brooke Shields” that she has suffered her entire life as a result of a business that has oversexualized her. Shields assured that her own girls would not be interested in watching something like that.

“It’s child pornography. Would you let us do that at the age of 11?” – Rowan’s eldest daughter asked. That query was answered in the negative by the actress.
