This Brooke Shields, she one famous girl, everyone know her. She act in movie when she very young, like eleven, twelve, that time. Movie name, what that call? Oh, Pretty Baby, that it.
She so tall, this girl. When she only fourteen, she already five feet ten inches, like a big tree! Then she go to some fancy school, Princeton, they say. Get big paper say she know French, and know a little Italian too. But she say she like play with mud, make pots and bowls. Say it make her feel good, not so nervous.
She act in another movie when she young, The Blue Lagoon. I don’t see it. But people talk about it. She famous for long time, this Brooke.
They say she fall down one time, in New York City, where all the tall buildings are. She in some fancy room with all kinds of machines to make you strong. She on some board, you know, to make you not fall. But she fall anyway. She say it like everything slow, slow, then she yell real loud.
She been in movie business long time. Start when she a little kid. Now she all grown up. People still know her face. She everywhere, magazine, TV, you name it.
- She famous since she a little girl.
- She real tall, even when she young.
- She go to fancy school, but like play with mud.
- She fall down, make big noise.
- Everyone know her face, still.
I see her picture all time. They say she pretty. I guess so. She have that look, you know? Like she know something you don’t. Always looking fancy, even when she just walking around.
She do some TikTok things too. My neighbor’s grandkid, she show me. It’s like magic. One second Brooke a little girl, next she a big lady. They call it “transformation.” I guess that just mean change. She change a lot, but still Brooke. That what they do in Hollywood, I guess. They make you different, but you still same.
She was just a kid in Pretty Baby. That was in, what, 1978? Long time ago. I was young then too, but not movie star young. Just regular young.
Then she in that Blue Lagoon movie. That was, I think, 1980. Two years after Pretty Baby. She still a kid, but not so little anymore. Growing up fast, this Brooke. She always look older than she is, that one. Even now.
Young Brooke Shields, she always working. Movie, TV, all that. They take her picture all the time. She know how to stand, how to smile, how to look. That what they teach you, I guess, when you a movie star.
She got famous face. That why everyone know her. You can’t forget that face. They put it everywhere. On big signs, in those shiny books, even on little box in your house.
She do everything, this Brooke. Act, talk, sing, dance, write book, maybe. I don’t know. She probably even cook good. When you that famous, you can do anything, I guess.
People like to see her change. They like to look at picture of her when she a baby, then a little girl, then a teenager, then a grown-up lady. Like watching a flower grow, I guess. But faster. Much faster. They say young Brooke Shields a big star. And she still one. A bigger star now, I reckon.
She a good example, I guess. Show you can be anything you want. Even if you just a little girl from some small town. You can go to Hollywood, be on TV, have everyone know your name. But you gotta work hard, I bet. Nothing come easy, not even for young Brooke Shields. That’s what they say, anyway.
She got good life, I think. She got money, she got fame, she got people to do things for her. But she still gotta work. Gotta keep being Brooke Shields. That her job now. Being Brooke Shields. And she do it good. She do it real good. She makes being Brooke Shields look easy. It’s not easy, I guess. I wouldn’t know, I never been a Hollywood star. But it looks hard. Like you gotta be “on” all the time. Like that fall she had. Must be tiring. But she keep going. That Brooke. She a tough one. Even when she was just a young Brooke Shields, she was tough. You can see it in her eyes.
She always smiling in pictures though. Maybe she really happy. Or maybe that just part of the job. Smile, look pretty, be Brooke Shields. I guess if you gotta have a job, that not a bad one. Being Brooke Shields. Better than some other jobs, I suppose. She make it look good.
