Shields career started among much ballyhoo over her appearance in Pretty Baby[?] in which she had numerous nude scenes. Since she was only 13 at the time, it raised questions of child pornography.
After two decades of movies, the best-known film she took part in is probably still Endless Love[?] (1981), made near the beginning of her career. She played in a number of television productions, the most successful being the series Suddenly Susan[?].
She was married from 1997 to 1999 to professional tennis player, Andre Agassi. Since 2001 she has been married to Christopher Thomas Henchy[?].
She won the People's Choice Awards in the category of Favorite Young Performer in four consecutive years from 1981 to 1984 and more than a decade later she won again in the category of Favorite Female Performer in a New Television Series in 1997.
Her ancestry is traced in William Addams Reitwiesner[?]'s monograph, The Lesbian Ancestors of Prince Rainier of Monaco, Dr. Otto von Habsburg, Brooke Shields, and the Marquis de Sade.
