Shields became famous as a young girl with films such as “The Blue Lagoon.” And she reports that some fans from back then still see her as a teenager.
Many people think of US actress Brooke Shields (“The Blue Lagoon”) as a very young film star – today, some fans have to imagine her as an adult woman. “They want me to look exactly as they remember,” said the 59-year-old on the US talk show “Today with Hoda & Jenna” – “so I have to educate them again.”
Shields became famous as a young girl; she was only 14 when she started filming “The Blue Lagoon.” In her late 50s, she feels “much more fabulous today than ever before,” says the actress, but fans from earlier times still have to learn “who I am now”: “When you’ve been in the public eye for as long as I have, you have to try to find ways to keep them informed so you don’t disappoint them.” The actress recently starred in Netflix romances such as “A Castle for Christmas” and “Mother of the Bride.”
