Reply to comment by girafa 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

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.

How is that not childporn?

Some bullshit about it being art.

Basically that. Nudity =/= porn in all cases, and they stretched that (somehow) to include glamour photos.

How was Atlantic City?

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
