Reply to comment by LeeF1179 in Brooke Shields' movies are so creepy and inappropriate. Imagine your entire film career being reduced to movies which seemed so exploitative of her. by Lisieu_Lustre

Hunh. Never knew this, but yeah

> In 1980, 14-year-old Shields was the youngest fashion model ever to appear on the cover of Vogue. Later that same year, Shields appeared in controversial print and TV ads for Calvin Klein jeans. The TV ad included her saying the famous tagline: "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing." Brooke Shields ads would help catapult Klein's career to super-designer status.

She also dated Michael Jackson in the 90s, weird

Brooke appeared in Playboy fully nude at the age of 10! Her mother signed off on it. I think her mom was one of those stage moms that will sign off on anything for money or fame.

Every time Brooke talks about her mom, it's like she's suffering from Stockholm's Syndrome.

I think Brooke insists those movies were a positive experience for her because she doesn'r want her mom to be blamed.

Technically she was in "Sugar & Spice" magazine, but it was owned by Playboy Press. I did a deep dive on that crazy rabbit hole after I watched Atlantic City, same director as Pretty Baby. Those photos are online, legally. It's insane.

I didn't like it at all but it was critically praised at the time of release. I love Burt Lancaster but he plays a total dope in the film

It wasn't exactly dating. Remember when he took Emmanuel Lewis with them on?

Shields seemed to imply Michael was too immature to be in a relationship though she adored him.

It's the word he used to describe it, and I wasn't there to say otherwise

He was one of the few people near her age that could relate to being a child star and could trust that what was said between them wouldn't be leaked to the media.
