Her beauty is often the focus but she has a beautiful character and personality too

Brooke! I’ve grown up with you, I’ve admired you… Your kindness, your strength… And Yes, I name my daughter after you! Thank you for being YOU! 🙏🏻❤️

Brooke, you gave us 80s magazine FACE. You made a huge impact on culture and beauty. We appreciate you💐💐💐

It seems wrong that Brooke’s mother wouldn’t accept child support from Brooke’s father but would get her money *through* Brooke instead. If she was too proud for alimony, I feel that she would have done well to get a job if she didn’t have one (no one ever says if her mother worked). It’s just kind of a tough pill to swallow that her mother had all this pride and yet had her daughter do all these exploitative things and at such a young age.

One thing they said: how did she survive all that. Exactly. She must be a really really strong woman, I mean we read all the time about young star that hit success as kids and don't made it alive. Well done.

[edglebennett]

I really enjoyed the documentary! Hollywood is no joke. She survived that mess! And now has a beautiful family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Whatever she says, the director of the movie “Pretty Baby”With 11 year old Brooke Shields. and the photographer who took the photo for Playboy magazine are completely sick!!!😢

So many don't know how to interview Brooke Shields in a way that is different, or complementary to who she is. She's far more intelligent than most people she's interviewed by. Most of the questions are like gossip column stuff not new.

Love you Hoda and Jenna. Brooke Shields is forever an aspiring inspiration, love this interview and bright orange suit. I have always loved Brooke’s personality, authenticity and sweet kind open heart. Not just a Pretty Baby and face. 🧡

Imagine being so beautiful that it makes you miserable. Is really making me rethink how I perceive my own beauty.

I grew up watching this beautiful girl (same age as me) and going from being a tiny bit jealous of her beauty and worrying about her. Was so glad she went to Princeton, knew she would find something there to enhance her life. I actually adore her, she’s got humility, humor and is an All around good person. This doc just took me back in time and I relived all those moments with her. Interesting! I especially loved the dinner table scene with her cool and funny daughters - I think they get it from their mom ❤I have always hoped for the best for Brooke and hope she gets recognized for this amazing documentary.

Oh I remember watching how the adults in the room looked at her and described her made me cringe and I was a kid but a girl understands when there is something odd. So thankful she reached education and the success of Suddenly Susan etc. There are so many we lost. So much beauty and talent now on the brink of losing can find themselves and hopefully pick up something so they succeed out of child star to adulthood.

[lynetteczarkowski]

What a strong, intelligent, admirable woman. Go Brook!!!

[debbiemartin]

Too bad they never let her finish a complete thought.

[marksanders]

Brooke Shields has such a terrific personality!

[kellyannegarber]

I just finished watching and it was well done!!

[bec]

As a person with bushy straight eyebrows, I’m just glad she brought them into style and has kept them in style

[marybethhilland]

Brooke you Beautiful in and out and more Beautiful now as a grown pure woman of everyday soul that glows everyday woman and genuine soul. America's child beauty, The world's friend and lady.

[curiousone]

I will always love Brooke Shields. They say beauty if only skin deep. She challenges that premise without even trying.

[momcatwoo]

I am the exact same age as Brooke, and believe me, there were lots of ordinary people who did not, at the time, think “Pretty Baby” was art. I remember hearing about the film and struggling to comprehend how it could have been made.
