Shields has written two other books, but this is the first one I have read. I have always thought she was a good actress, but I didn’t really know much about her life. This book is a big part of her story. Here is my book review Brooke Shields is Not Allowed to Get Old by Brooke Shields.

Who is Brooke Shields

Well if you don’t know who Brooke Shields is you must be living under a rock. Child star, model, film and Broadway actress, author and comedian, she has worn a lot of hats through her life. In this book Brooke talks mostly about what it’s like as someone who is known for her beauty, to deal with the aging process.

Growing Old

Though growing old can sometimes be difficult, I’d much rather grown old than not. But for celebrities that process is even more difficult with the societal pressures to always be young and beautiful. Shields talks about the monumental moments in her career and as a woman were aging becomes an issue.

Although I liked this book, and it had some humorous stories, it’s kind of hard to identify with someone like Brooke Shields. She may seem like the girl next door but her life has been vastly different than most women. Her take on aging and her insight into her aging as a women, wife and mother I enjoyed, despite our very different kinds of journeys.
