Over 40 years after being named the face of a decade in a 1981 cover story by Time magazine, actress and model Brooke Shields claims she is now self-assured enough to not feel inadequate. Shields talks candidly with Katty Kay of the BBC for her Influential interview series on everything from getting an Ivory soap commercial as a baby to the consequences of that notorious Time photo shoot.
Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields, a 2023 Hulu documentary on Shields’ relationship with her late mother Teri, provided an insight into the reality behind the tabloid headlines. On January 14, a new book titled Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old was published.
