I grew up in love with Brooke Shields. Ever since I saw the movie The Blue Lagoon, I had a huge crush on her. Her character in that movie was so innocent and so beautiful; I do not know how you could not fall in love with her. If I was stranded on a deserted island I would definitely want to be stranded with her. I also liked that movie quite a bit, because it seemed like it would be fun to live on an island all by yourself with no one else to tell you what to do.



After that movie, Brooke did many other smaller movies and television shows over the next ten to fifteen years. Another major period of her life was her relationship with the famous tennis player, Andre Agassi. Their relationship was highly publicized. However things did not work out between them, and they were divorced two years later.

In the late nineties and early twenty first century, Brooke Shields' career switched focus more to television shows. She had a huge hit in the show Suddenly Susan, which I enjoyed very much. I thought she was very good on that show, and she still looked amazing.

After that show ended, she has made many cameo appearances on very successful television shows such as Friends, That 70's Show, and Nip/Tuck. Brooke has backed out of the spotlight a little bit in recent years; because she has slowed down to spend more time with her daughters. She was struck with a very tough bout of depression after her first daughter was born, and she put her experiences down on paper in her book about what many women experience after childbirth. She was recently in the news again, because Tom Cruise was talking badly about her using antidepressants after her first daughter was born.

When all was said and done both parties apologized for their remarks, and they have patched things up. Brooke Shields is an amazing woman, and she has done some great things throughout her lifetime.
