Brooke Shields Bio

May 31, 1965 / Gemini / Age 59

Brooke Shields is an American-born actress and model. She was born under the sign of Gemini on May 31, 1965 in New York City, New York, United States. Her birth name is Brooke Christa Shields. She is also known in the industry as Brookie.

The renowned Brooke Shields graced as a featured Playboy Celebrity in October 1975. Her measurements are 34-25-35. Brooke Shields has natural breasts, seductive green eyes, and brown hair.

She was initially a child model and gained critical acclaim at age 12 for her leading role in Louis Malle's film "Pretty Baby". She continued to model into her late teenage years and starred in several dramas in the 1980s, including "The Blue Lagoon", and Franco Zeffirelli's "Endless Love".

From 1981 to 1983, Shields, her mother, photographer Garry Gross, and Playboy Press were involved in litigation in the New York City Courts over the rights to photographs her mother had signed away to Gross (when dealing with models who are minors, a parent or legal guardian must sign such a release form while other agreements are subject to negotiation). Gross was the photographer of a controversial set of nude images taken in 1975 of a then ten-year-old Brooke Shields with the consent of her mother, Teri Shields, for the Playboy Press publication Sugar 'n' Spice. The images portray Shields nude, standing and sitting in a bathtub, wearing makeup and covered in oil. The courts ruled in favor of the photographer due to a strange twist in New York law. It would have been otherwise had Brooke Shields been considered a child "performer" rather than a model.
