Brooke Shields was born on May 31, 1965, in New York City. Her mother, Teri Shields, was an actress and model who served as Brooke’s manager throughout much of her cancer. Brooke began modeling at the age of 11 months and soon became one of the most recognizable child models in the world.
In 1978, at the age of 12, Shields starred in the film “Pretty Baby”, which was directed by Louis Malle. The film tells the story of a young girl living in a New Orleans brothel in the early 1900s. Shields played the role of the child prostitute, which sparked controversy and drew criticism for the portrayal of child sexualization. Despite the controversy, Shields was praised for her performance and won the Best Young Actress award at the 1979 Young Artist Awards.
Shields continued to work as a model and actress throughout the 1980s, appearing in films such as “The Blue Lagoon” (1980), “Endless Love” (1981), and “Sahara” (1983). These roles establish her as a sex symbol and made her one of the most recognizable actresses of the decade.
In addition to her acting work, Shields has also been a spokesperson for various brands, including Calvin Klein, and also appeared in numerous commercials and print ads. She has also written several books, including a memoir titled “Down came the rain: My journey through postpartum depression” and a children’s book titled “Welcome to your world, baby”.

Although the amount of money Brooke made from her early modeling jobs is unknown, it was presumably substantial. Child models can earn roughly $70,000 annually according to Zip Recruiter. Since Brooke was such a well-known face, it’s possible that she earned considerably more.

Although her specific compensation for these films is unknown, given that she played a prominent role in each of them, she most likely earned a respectable sum.
