How Brooke Shields Handled Teen Stardom


At age 12, Brooke Shields played a child growing up in a brothel in “Pretty Baby.” At 15, she declared that nothing came between her and her Calvin Klein jeans and frolicked on a desert island with teen hunk Christopher Atkins in “Blue Lagoon.” But despite her often-provocative on-screen roles and her teen visits to Studio 54, Shields says she was able to resist the temptations that have gotten many of today’s young stars in trouble.

“I think a lot of these girls are young, and it’s all so tempting. For some reason, I wasn’t tempted. I don’t know why. Sometimes I wish I was a little more tempted to have a little more fun,” Shields says in the September issue of Redbook. “But I see them, and someone will ask, ‘Well what do you want to say to so-and-so?’ I don’t want to say anything to them. I want to talk to their mothers.”
