Profile Bio Text
Modeling career
Shields` career as a model began in the mid 1960s as an infant. Her first job was for Ivory soap shot by Francesco Scavullo. She continued as a successful child model, with model agent Eileen Ford, in her Lifetime Network biography, stating that she started her children`s division just for Brooke. In early 1980 (at age 14), Shields was the youngest fashion model to ever appear on the cover of the top fashion publication Vogue magazine. Later that same year, Shields appeared in controversial print and TV ads for Calvin Klein jeans[3]. The TV ad included her saying the famous tagline, "You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing."[4][5]
By the age of 16, Shields had become one of the most recognizable faces in the world because of her dual career as a provocative fashion model and controversial child actress. TIME magazine reported, in its February 9, 1981 cover story, that her day rate as a model was $10,000. In 1983 Shields appeared on the cover of the September issue of Paris Vogue, the October and November issues of American Vogue and the December edition of Italian Vogue.[6]
Film career
Shields` first major film role was her 1978 appearance in Louis Malle`s Pretty Baby, a movie in which she played a child living in a brothel (and in which there were numerous nude scenes). Because she was only 12 when the film was released, and possibly 11 when it was filmed, questions were raised about child pornography.[7][8][9] This was followed by a slightly less controversial, but also less notable film, Wanda Nevada (1979).
After two decades of movies, her best-known films are still arguably The Blue Lagoon (1980), which included a number of nude scenes between teenage lovers on a deserted island (Shields later testified before a U.S. Congressional inquiry that older body doubles were used in some of them), and Endless Love (1981). She won the People`s Choice Award in the category of Favorite Young Performer in four consecutive years from 1981 to 1984.
Career stalling
Shields put her film career on hold to attend Princeton University from 1983 to 1987, graduating with a degree in French literature. [10][11] Her senior thesis was titled "The Initiation: From Innocence to Experience: The Pre-Adolescent/Adolescent Journey in the Films of Louis Malle, Pretty Baby and Lacombe Lucien." It was here at Princeton where she spoke openly about her sexuality and virginity. During her tenure at Princeton, Shields was a member of the Princeton Triangle Club and the Cap and Gown Club.
Shields` career stalled at various times, and she has told interviewers that her height (6`) prevented her from getting roles opposite shorter male actors.
Television appearances
Shields has appeared in a number of television shows, the most successful being the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan, in which she starred from 1996 until 2000 and which earned her a People`s Choice Award in the category of Favorite Female Performer in a New Television Series in 1997 and two Golden Globe nominations.
Shields made a couple of guest appearances on That `70s Show. She played Pam Burkhart, Jackie`s (Mila Kunis) mother, who later was briefly involved with Donna`s (Laura Prepon) father (played by Don Stark). Shields left That `70s Show when her character was written out. She also appeared in one episode of the popular comedy sitcom Friends playing Joey`s stalker. Shields recorded the narration for the Sony/BMG recording of The Runaway Bunny, a Concerto for Violin, Orchestra, and Reader by Glen Roven. It was performed by the Royal Philharmonic and Ittai Shapira. Earlier in 1980, Shields was the youngest guest star to ever appear on The Muppet Show, in which she and the Muppets put on their own version of Alice In Wonderland. She has also starred in episodes of Hannah Montana as Miley Stewart`s mother.
On-stage productions
Shields has appeared in many on-stage productions, mostly musical revivals, including Grease, Cabaret, Wonderful Town and Chicago on Broadway; she also performed in Chicago in London`s West End.
Personal life
Shields was born in New York City[12] into a well-known American society family with links to Italian nobility.[13] Her father was Francis Alexander Shields, and her mother is Teri Shields (née Maria Theresa Schmonn). Shields adopted her middle name, Camille, for her Confirmation at age 10. Shields` parents divorced when she was a child, and her father later married Diana Lippert Auchincloss, the former wife of Thomas Gore Auchincloss (a half-brother of Gore Vidal and a stepbrother of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis). The actress has three half-sisters: Marina (who married Thomas William Purcell), Olympia, and Christina Shields. She also has two stepsiblings, Diana Luise Auchincloss and Thomas Gore Auchincloss Jr. She attended the all-girl Lenox School[14]. She graduated from Dwight-Englewood School in Englewood, New Jersey.
