Brooke Shields is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Ageing as a Woman | 
pickWhen I grew up Brooke Shields was America‘s Princess, and I monitored her life through my Seventeen magazines so much that I‘ve been hard-pressed for 40+ years to ignore sightings of her. This is a good and humorous read of a woman who‘s evaluated her life in her 50‘s and realized life lessons for herself on aging, career, marriage, empty-nesting, friendships, health, and more. The mishaps in her hospital procedures are 😳
Ruthiella I idolized Brook Shields as a teenager too and feel like we‘ve grown up together, even though she doesn‘t know me! 😅 6d

TheLudicReader I recently rewatched Endless Love on…Prime maybe. Hadn‘t seen it in 40 odd years. Didn‘t really hold up…not nearly as good as the book, but she sure was beautiful. I think she is so much more than her physical appearance now, and I have admired her honest take on lots of topics. (edited) 6d
bookishbitch The documentary called Pretty Baby about and with her was very good too. 5d
marleed @Ruthiella I‘m not sure what is stranger - that I feel like Brooke and I should meet for Starbucks after all these years. Or that I‘m convinced I‘m such good pals with Elin Hilderbrand‘s fictional Nantucket community that surely any number of households would take me in as a s guest for a summer🤣 5d
marleed @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AnnCrystal Well worth the read or in my case, the author listen. 5d
marleed @TheLudicReader Her experiences and wisened perspective of being an actress and model in her childhood during the 70s and 80 is so important to respecting how new generations of child money-makers are treated/handled. 5d
marleed @bookishbitchblog I think one of my favorite parts of this book was her discussion of gaining a new bestie in their 50s with Ally Wentworth, and also how valuable the discussions because of that documentary were to her relationships with her grown daughters. 5d
