The only thing wrong with this conversation was it was way too short. What an amazing woman. Stunningly beautiful, intelligent, articulate, insightful, tough, resilient, courageous. Fighter and survivor.❤💪
Way too short, it was getting real good by the end.
I grew up with Brooke Shields; was crazy in love with her. When she did that anti-smoking ad about going to a party and coming home and having to wash her hair to get the tobacco smell out, I immediately quit smoking. My respect and admiration for her has only increased since. Good on ya, Brooke, and good on all of us. Thanks for being.
Good for you for quitting!
Words are powerful! Thankfully hers impacted you to make a wonderful decision. Be proud of yourself. ❤
I'm glad you quit smoking. However it was that got you there
Brooke is really a joy to behold. I had the pleasure of working with her as an actor on a film in Hollywood, when she was in her early 20's, and she was a modest, genuine individual, who really cared about other people's feelings. She hasn't changed a bit. Still very down to earth.. A million best wishes, Brooke..
Hollywood could take a lesson from her..
That interview was so short. What an interesting woman. Please get her back!
Have always loved Brooke Shields, and will always love her. Such a strong, outspoken woman.
She is terrific in every way.
I'm glad she had a friend to go with her.
It's like the Beatles said"
"We had each other. Elvis was all alone."
As someone who twists words around myself, I truly loved the way she mixed hypocritical and apocryphal together. I think I might use that in the future. She’s a brave, amazing woman.
I caught that too. Interesting word she made .

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
She was and is an icon. Who is at the same time so down to earth and humble.
Grew up in the time of her youth, she was iconic, then she disappeared. I knew after she came back in That 70s Show and Friends that I totally underestimated her as a person the first time around.
Making this docu has been cathartic for Brooke.
Ms. Shields, resilient, intelligent, centered… best wishes, health, joy and wellbeing 🤸🏾♂️
I'm 57 and I feel like I grew up with Brooke. I always admired her and her free spirit back when we were kids. as an adult I admire her range as an actress (Loved her bit on "The Middle" a few years back) and I truly admire her as a person. She is way way way beyond a pretty face...she's the real deal and a role model for the next generation. great interview Steven....(Mike in Ohio)
she was so funny, self-deprecating, clumsy, and hilarious in her TV show "Suddenly Susan"- loved her then, admire her still 🥰
That's when I realized how funny she is.
She's amazing. She was a sexual object for lustful old men... And young, and she managed to keep her head on straight. She went to college... Made her own way. And she realize how silly at all was. Even as a kid. She definitely is such a good role model for so many. I don't know if I would have been able to handle what she did. But I'd only handle. She's a survivor and she's not a victim and I love that. She's strong.
Personally, I was too busy drooling over Susan Sarandon (and still do to this day whatever she is in) in Pretty baby to even notice Miss Shields was in it.
THATS A MAN WAKE UP HOLY COW
she clearly wanted to talk more and would have loved to hear more from her.
Blue lagoon was insane at the time
I remember that
Not having someone to laugh at the ridiculousness of adults with would have broken me as a kid.. and I wasn't even a star!
Same. I had cousins who were absolutely formative.
Love Brook ~ she's a lovely person through and through. Glad she's telling her story, shedding light on how treating ourselves and others with kindness is a conscious choice. She's worked hard at keeping her happiness, self-worth and wellbeing intact. I reckon (in part 1 of this interview), what Colbert perceived as down-to-earth, composed and 'normal' took a lot of internal work & healing to achieve. That said, his questions were respectful & allowed her to speak her truth. Would delight at seeing her return to the show in future.
"ridiculousness of adults" i will write that one down. And it's so true.
I absolutely love Brooke Shields! Shes a great person, so down to earth and so wise.
I love hearing her story now. I foubdbher ads distressing in terms of unattainable beauty standards and i like hearing a fuller story now
Astute, thoughtful responses for those who listen. Thanks, Brooke Shields.
She was so great on The Middle. I wish she had made more appearances.
Yes, I can tell Brooke had a lot of fun playing Rita Glossner and turning herself ugly for a change.
She was AMAZING on that show.
So brave of her to revisit all of that childhood trauma and share with us. I hope she is healing ❤
The adults around her should not have allowed the press to engage with her that way.
She should be proud of all her accomplishments and above all, of being able to survive in such an environment...
It was lovely to meet her but it is sad she's still protecting her mother who put her into very vulnerable roles and was always drunk so she wasn't protecting her child. I definitely wish the best for Brooke.
Possibly my favorite thing she ever did in her career was her arc on SVU a few seasons ago.
When I was a kid in the 1980s one of my best friends had a Brooke Shields doll. We all always thought it was just a Barbie with a different name. We were all AMAZED when her mom told us that Brooke Shields was a real person.
Brooke is very smart and worldly. I have always like her. She never did anything stupid to bring herself to the attention of the press. Very nice lady. Interview could have been longer.
Thanks Brooke for caring on throughout your life. You inspire.
she is american iconography. a lovely person with great longevity, beauty, and story.
Stunning beauty, great heart, and a woman who did the best she could, to deal with crushing fame this young.
I hope Brooke realizes the very first people to take advantage of her were her parents. What were they doing when she was being dressed up like a stripper when she was a kid? Counting money?
Great interview and great documentary. I hardly ever take the time to watch a documentary, but this one was so fascinating. Probably because I am the same age as Brooke and grew up watching her. What a powerful story and many nuggets of gold to take away from it all. Good for you, Brooke!!! 🎉
I agree with how inappropriate she was treated
Please have Brooke Shields back, love this so much! I am so thankful Brooke at least in unique ways got to have children around her so not all her youth was traumatic. What a gem and jewel she is. Love how she referred to the audience as her family. What a tough strong warrior and survivor she is.
She is a very fine person. She has every right to be proud of her work and life.
From what I've seen, when I meet a child who is unnaturally competent and adult, I always wonder if one of their parents is an alcoholic or similar. There are other reasons, but this is too common. I would hire these kids though, they will get it done. Brooke Shields may not have had a "normal" normal childhood, but she grew up pretty well considering the pressure she was under. It's partly upbringing, but a lot of it is her own good character.
Ur so BEAUTIFUL
and the fact that you started out with you were trying to protect your mother wow I can’t imagine all the things you’ve been through. I love you you’re an amazing, beautiful woman. You should’ve never protected. Your mother always protect yourself and keep being amazing. I just appreciate all you’ve done , especially in that era.
Brooke Shields is intelligent and beautiful! I love her.
Still remember seeing her at a local movie theater in the 1981 movie Endless Love. And that's all I have to say about that.
Another scandal of the times
@@LindaC616 Yep. Controversy seemed to always follow her over the years.
Goddess...just amazing
What the hell is wrong with this title. Brooke's mom fully exploited her for money. She was a disgusting and horrific mother.
Oh wow oh wow oh wow! I remember saying nice things about Brooke....so glad I did. ♥♥♥
“Pretty Baby” was a great film, but strange. Exposing her like that. It couldn’t be made today, for sure.
And her parents shouldn't have let her be in it.
@@hamishcleod5504 She made really explicit photoshoots at the time that is classed as child pornography, “The Woman in The Child”. Why would her mother allow that? Money? It will be interesting to see the documentary, I’m the same age as her remembering the seventies. Will they bring it up? It’s a good movie, though many years since I’ve seen it.
@@Fibonacci64 Exactly, i used to work for a movie studio, one thing we are never short of is parents trying to get their kids into the industry, and not caring about the consequences.
gross!!!! Nothing great about exploiting a child. That is not art!
Loved her ever since her first commercial as a baby! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great interview, love you Brooke.
It took 45 years for this wonderful woman to get her story told. I remember when this media smear happened to her, I was the same age. When I did get to see Pretty Baby it was clear to me it was a story about how creepy men achieved their desires, not about a girl promoting their abuse through her sexuality.
It was so insane. I always supported her, and felt she was really an unappreciated talent. I’ll have to sign up for Hulu just because of her documentary.
wow! she still protected the person that fed her to the wolves. Heartbreaking.
Brooke ROCKS! Watching her documentary now, and she is amazing and absolutely stunning.
0:51-1:06
So how can you say you were protected then?
1:17-1:30
"hypocryfull" could be a word. It certainly has many occasions to be used.
Haha. When I heard that, thought is that a word? Couldn't find anything.
We need this word.
@@dyobboshe meant hypocritical, but combined it with....?..apocryphal?
@@LindaC616 yeah I know, but she made up an entirely new word and I like it 🙂
@@LindaC616 Sounds to me like: "full of hypocrisy" and I prefer that to hypo-critical which just sounds like it means sth different, like hyper-critical...
Love Brooke! Brava. Thank you for crossing my path in life. You are part of my childhood.
Objectification continues today…
100 percent. I think it really messed with brooke, but her sister is even worse living in the shadows. She never felt like she was enough and to this day has serious eating disorders.
Don’t look if you object to objectification. It’s a free country.
@@HH-gv8mx I thought she was an only child
@@rondanatan6198 I thought the same and had to Google it. Wikipedia says that Brooke has 2 step brothers and 3 half sisters.
@@rondanatan6198 no she has a couple other half sisters. Her dad remarried and had kids.
The ridiculousness of this title, making an alcoholic, abusive "mother" seem like she did a good job. It's just astounding. This is the same mother who let someone photograph her child completely naked and with heavy makeup when she was 9. Let's not be out here giving her kudos. Not to mention the child p)rn movies she signed her up for.
She is a wonderful human being ❤.
Where was her father?
Brooke Shields' eyebrows were like 40 years ahead of their time.
Brooke is so impressive. And she and I are close in age, so as her career was going in all these different directions, imprinting on the world, she was imprinting on me, too! I honestly can't imagine a version of my early life where Brooke isn't an important figure.
She has a step sister!?
She is what Wonder woman should look like she has the Height the build and the look.
Just dye her hair black. We don't need a 25-year-old actress played Wonder woman Brooke could do it
Good for her she’s great ❤❤❤❤
THANKS FOR SHARING.
Bravo Brooke!!!!
I wish I could watch that doc now instead of having to wait until Monday
Gracious Lady ❤🎉😊
thank you mom-
She was hilarious of in the “ Seventies Show”
I hope she reprises her role as Jackie's mom in that 90s Show since she would be Jay's (Jackie and Michael's kid) grandmother
If you don't have enough time to let her speak and elaborate then don't make her talk about her trauma for klicks 🤦🏻♀️
I grew up watching her, too. At the time, I remember how awful her mother was: alcoholic Teri Shields, parading her daughter around like fresh meat. But Brooke has only nice things to say about her mother.
1:48
I agree. Back in the day, and even today they over sexualize young women. Besides Brooke, low how they over sexualized Natalie Portman in Leon The Professional.
Trust comment? Someone I find able to be honest and cerebral and scientific and objective and has the means to neutralize in ways others can’t. In my head that’s the best way I can describe it.
Brooke was hilarious on The Middle.
RUclips gave me an ad for the documentary and it had this creepy clip from the Mike Douglas show where mid-question he just stops to marvel at her beauty and says how stunning she is and turns to the audience to be all ISN’T SHE JUST GORGEOUS FOLKS? and it took me back to how gross the 70s were. Brooke was only a few years older than I was and the way men leered at her made me scared to grow up and be around men. For real.
He told her that she was "exquisite" and I had read your comment before seeing that clip in the doc last night. When I saw it, my skin just crawled. I saw that interview when it happened and can't remember my thoughts at all (I'm 2 years older than Brooke) and I am sure I was in agreement that she was beautiful but I was her age then. It creeps me out now.
Another great interview. My one criticism is that it was too short. American chat shows don't seem to give enough time to guests. No offence to Clint Black but bugger off. Come back another night. Take a leaf out of Parkinson or Norton books.
a mother who drinks never protects her daughter. of course i don’t know their relationship but why should SHE be protecting her mom? a mom who is self medicating can’t give a child what she needs.
Damn she said it all
Take Care of your Child ❤
At least some things are changing for children in the industry. They no longer use actual children in any sexual scenes (yes, they actually did that 🤢). Now they don't show anything, or just use a body double with adults portraying it in a way that makes it what it is . . .disgusting. I prefer, they just don't show it at all. I also think the next step is making it so only people 18 or older can model other than catalog. They should stop recruiting 12-16 year olds to portray women. They are children, not women. Stop villainizing the girls put in this position (like how popstars are called names for wearing certain clothes). Instead, question the adults and the industries promoting it. Obviously, non famous girls go though this as well. They don't understand it's creepy. Adults know and they should step in and confront the adults being creepy.
I love how awkwardly intelligent she is.
Wonderful
I hope this draws a line under "me, trauma, mommy, virgin, et al".
LOL!! I was raised by a movie star... just a normal childhood... just a small million dollar loan xD
I guess the Shields shielded each other. *rimshot
Lived up to their name. 🤗
I feel an underachiever version of this woman.
part 2
GMAFB. She shouldn't have been targeted herself, but that ad was suggestive AF. The innuendo was not our imagination, Brooke. Society was rightfully alarmed by your age in those ads.
True, but wrong video :)
I agree with you. I don't think she realizes how sexualized that ad was and why it was banned because she still seems to be defending it. Those weren't smart as. They were a pedophilia dream.
GMAFB ? What's that mean?
@@zeero62"give me a f'ing break"
Naked on film at 12 years old is not a normal childhood.....BTW, that movie still being shown on cable outlets but it's okay because it's "art".....
Hipocraful? Hypocritical? anyone? Is that a word I missed? Or is she conflating apocryphal with hypocritical?
andre agassi 😅
Erhm.... she had a normal childhood?
Normal is any bodies opinions.
Dean Cain will always have a very special place in her heart from their time 'together' at Princeton University😍
You couldn't make Pretty Baby now, in the same way you couldn't make Blazing Saddles. That's a loss, in my book. But I'm old, and nobody's going to read my book.
Or blue lagoon
When they took "Springtime for Hitler" out of The Producers my childhood died.
I would read your book! This woke ,cancel culture ,book banning censorship has gone too far, it’s sanitizing everything. Critical thinking skills have died. Half the planet is running around “offended” . Geez,don’t get me started lol, I’m old too. 🤣🤣
@@barbarawhite4257 Maybe half of online commenters are always offended, but do you really find it like that in real life, or is that just something old people like tsking and commiserating about? In real life, most LGBTQ people are just going about their business, just like how not all right-wing religious fundamentalists are parading and yelling around abortion clinics, or making shrines to Trump. You do know that news organizations test out different versions of stories online, quickly see what gets the most clicks, and then present more of that as "news"? I think it's more like half the country or more is going on and on about kids changing genders and worrying about being 'woke' and being too easily offended, and the other half is going on and on about people hating gays and waving guns around, while 99% of them all are just going about their normal and boring everyday lives: hence their vulnerability to sensationalism.
I have serious issues with Pretty Baby, but Blazing Saddles is gold.

Ok....Is It The Gay In Me That Wants...."Pretty Baby" THE MUSICAL...?
The gay in me wants to know why you capitalise every word.

Big hands, big shoulders😮 😜✌️✌️♂️
fact that George Santos fabricate many lies so fast is right on the spot😊😊
Wrong video
