Now streaming on Hulu, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields - named after Louis Malle’s controversial 1978 film in which she played a child prostitute in 1917 in New Orleans’ red-light district - chronicles Shields’ life in the public eye, starting with her first modeling job at 11 months old for an Ivory soap ad and ending with her current roles as a businesswoman, a wife, and a mother of two teenage daughters. After rising to fame as one of the most recognizable (and controversial) child actors and models of the late ’70s and early ’80s, Shields, now 57, has pulled back the curtain on her extraordinary life and career in a new two-part documentary from acclaimed filmmaker Lana Wilson. Brooke Shields is finally ready to tell her side of the story.
