‘Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields’ is a very interesting and enlightening documentary, considering that as a 15 year-old kid, I was totally obsessed with the actress - but not in an unhealthy way by any means. I just thought she was the most gorgeous thing around and didn't get all the controversy about her movies and/or commercials. I kept just about every magazine she was in, had posters of her in my room - well, you get the point.
Anyway, getting to hear her side of the story regarding her life with her stage mom/manager Teri, and being so famous at a young age due to certain films and ads she was in definitely gave me a different perspective of what she went through and had to deal with. It's not an easy to story to hear - or watch - as it makes you realize how much she was pushed into the spotlight at such a young age and put in situations that weren't pleasant. It's even more interesting getting to hear her own daughters talk about the things their famous mom performed in and whether or not they think it was/would be acceptable today. The most important thing is knowing that she seems to have come through it all ok and is in a good place with her family and career.
