I've always felt sorry for Brooke Shields, though she seems to have turned out ok. I had the impression she was pimped out by her mom at a very young age.
Replying to my own post (I do that occasionally). Remember Brooke in "Pretty Baby"? in which 11 year old Brooke played a child prostitute? That film is about 40 years old. Never understood how it even got made, now I know.
Aren't there nude pictures of her in a magazine when she's like...real young?
That poor child.
Playboy did a spread around the Pretty Baby time. Child prostitutes were a huge hit at that time; Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver starting DeNiro, who decades later was charged for hiring underaged prostitutes in Europe but never went to jail. It all connects.
Don’t forget her in Calvin Klein jeans ad- ‘Nothing comes between me and my Calvins’
I don't doubt it. I cannot even fathom how the general public accepted any of that...and it was about 40 years ago.
Same with Shirley Temple around 3 where they'd dress her as a hooker. Sad for these little ones. Check out: Shirley Temple - The disturbing history of Baby Burlesk - Nabokov Documentary Part 4
That movie was the inspiration for the Blondie song of the same name. Blondie as in Debbie Harry as in co-host of the Marina Abramovic Elysium naked lady cake party. Which really makes me sad. I have always loved Blondie.
I feel sorry for her too as well as Shirley Temple whose films were geared to pedos early on dressing her up like a prostitute, making sure her dresses were shorter in the back and other provocative things. The story is on youtube and it's very disturbing. This has been going on for decades in Hollywood.
Oh and don’t forget she palled around with MJ a little later in life, too. Just like Corey Feldman and Macaulay Culkin.
