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 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). Her parents are the late Francis Alexander Shields who married Brooke´s mother, Maria Theresia Schmonin, in 1964. 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.

Shields played in a number of television productions, the most successful being the series Suddenly Susan. 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.
