Actress and model Brooke Shields has been working since she was 11 months old.
But at age 59, she says she is in the most “challenging and exciting” stage of her career yet. “I think what’s exciting about it is it’s so unknown,” she told ForbesWomen editor Maggie McGrath. Shields was honored on Forbes and Know Your Value’s fourth annual “50 Over 50” U.S. list, which was revealed on Thursday. The list celebrates women who have found success later in life and are shattering age and gender norms.
According to Forbes, Shields has raised $3.5 million from outside investors to help fund the company’s first three products, which were released in June. But she is on a mission to make women feel extraordinary. “We have experience. We have years, we’ve gone through so much, many of us have raised children… or started companies…There should be no reason why we are discounted,” she said.
