Brooke Shields

Christa Brooke Camille Shields (born May 31, 1965) is an American actress, born in New York City, New York, USA. She attended Princeton University.

Shields' career started among much ballyhoo over her appearance in Pretty Baby in which she had numerous nude scenes. Since she was only 12 when the film was released, and possibly 11 when it was filmed it raised questions of child pornography.

After two decades of movies, her best-known films are still arguably The Blue Lagoon (1980) (more nude scenes, but Shields later testified before a Congressional inquiry that older body doubles were used in some of them), and Endless Love (1981), both made near the beginning of her career. Shields 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: they are parents of one daughter born in 2003.

She won the People's Choice Award 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 parents are the late Francis Alexander Shields who married Brooke´s mother, Maria Theresia Schmonin, in 1964. Her paternal grandparents are Francis Xavier Shields, (a tennis aristocrat), and Italian princess Donna Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cessi, who is sister of Don Alessandro Torlonia, 5th Prince di Civitella-Cessi, the husband of the Spanish Infanta Beatrix of Bourbon-Battenberg (aunt of King Juan Carlos I of Spain). Through her grandmother, Brooke Shields is a descendant of Henri IV, King of France, the Emperor Charles V, Lucrezia Borgia, and Honore I, Prince of Monaco. Her great-grandmother, Elsie Moore, was the sister of Glenn Close's grandfather. 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.
