“Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields,” a documentary about Brooke Shields and the sexual objectification she endured as a child actor, will release on Hulu on April 3. In the two-part documenta…
In the two-part documentary, which premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, the actor and model opens up for the first time about her earliest experiences in Hollywood. The film tracks her rise as a child advertising model to her sexualization in movies, starting at age 12, in “Pretty Baby” , and then at 15, in “The Blue Lagoon” .
Shields’ experience with older men on set as a child is a common theme in her recollections. In “Blue Lagoon,” a perverse film about two teenagers falling in love, 15 year-old Shields was forced to be sexual on camera despite never having been sexual with a man before. The next movie she shot “Endless Love” was directed by the late Italian filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli, who began twisting Shields’ toe as punishment for not portraying sex in the correct way.
In addition to inappropriate experiences with older men, the documentary also focuses on Shield’s volatile relationship with her own mother Teri Shields, who doubled as a doting but alcoholic manager. According to Shields, Teri, who died in 2012, was a self-possessed stage mom who was dead set on making her daughter a star.
