Brooke Shields: 'As a mom of two daughters, I feel more incensed now than ever'

Actress, model, and entrepreneur Brooke Shields joins Morning Joe to discuss her advocacy as the new president of the Actors Equity Association, her upcoming memoir on aging, and the urgent issues facing women’s reproductive rights. Reflecting on her own IVF journey, Shields shared: "My daughter stood up and said, 'I’m the result of IVF... if it didn't exist, if my mom died during the miscarriage, I wouldn’t exist.' And to hear your 21-year-old say that, it's a mixture of pride for her and just deep, deep injustice and anger."

Sadly, my father that molested me took me to see Pretty Baby at 12, so I couldn’t watch you when you were younger. I love you now @brook shield, and I love everything you’ve done as an adult 💖but I love the passion you have to help women and others the most 💖

Wow! Brooke SHIELDS!!
I was in love with that girl and probably still am. Hope my wife isn't reading this.😊

I love the acknowledgment that millennials are turning 40. People still seem to see us as the young generation. But us older millennials are going through perimenopause and starting to feel the age.

[lilianfowler]

Wow, Brooke, how far you have come. I have always admired you. Not because you were a model and actress, but because of the way you spoke out about issues. You are beautiful inside and out thank you for sharing your talent and your time.

Remembering that Brooke Shields exists is like a reminder that the 80s were actually super dark.... :-\
