I have met her and she is as beautiful, kind, and gracious as you would hope she would be. She was so nice to everyone who worked with her on the Adams Family. (One of my cousins worked with her and said she was absolutely wonderful to the crew.)

FACE OF THE 80'S! That face was mesmerizing in Sahara, Wet Gold, Blue Lagoon, Endless The most beautiful woman ever. No one will ever come close to looking like that again in this lifetime.

Her face is gorgeous. A lovely reminder that ageing gracefully can happen without a visit to the plastic surgeon (If only other stars would take note)

Love Brooke Shields. I'm just a year older than she is, so boy do I remember her. Great to see her doing so well. Thanks

I’ve always liked Brooke Shields, there is a natural beauty about her, inside and out - an honest beautiful person. Well done on all your achievements Brooke 💖 x

[jamiep]

She seems like an absolutely wonderful person

[knightyknight]

She's a very open & honest individual..No hidden agenda with her 😘

[lucycan]

Such a refreshing interview. She's right, why shouldn't women embrace their middle ages. If anything they should be appreciated for the experience they amassed in the years when they were at the top of their game.

I watched her new movie this past weekend. It’s really good!

As an “industry” professional (who has crossed paths with Brooke Sheilds on two different projects) I have never seen or heard a peep about her ever being anything but warm, gracious and professional to everyone she meets and interacts with. That’s hard for anyone to do, let alone a famous celebrity in the film industry.

[gayemarianesfox]

She’s beautiful. I’m so glad her mom did her job well.

[SunShine-vbjo]

Love you forever Brooke! Smart, classy and kind.
