Shields rose to fame as a teenager after starring in the controversial films “Pretty Baby” and “The Blue Lagoon.” Calvin Klein’s sexualized 1980 jeans campaign also raised many eyebrows. Regardless of the hype of the time, Shields’ work became a staple of popular culture in its own right, and he became one of the most recognizable names of the era.
In the four decades since Shields became a household name, the cultural conversation has changed quite a bit, and views have changed; he has discussed his son’s star upbringing and the controversial decisions made around his career in several interviews in recent years, including on his own podcast, “Now What? With Brooke Shields.”
Media coverage of Shields at the time was also withdrawn following the death of Barbara Walters; The Blast recently covered the details of a controversial 1981 interview between Walters and Shields.
According to an ABC News report on the documentary, “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields” will follow Shields’ “journey in the public eye while holding up a mirror to a society that ‘objectifies women and girls.’
Shields will be featured prominently as he looks back at his past, as he discovers it[s] and hug[es] his own identity and agency,” ABC also reported.
Following the documentary’s Sundance screening, it will be streamed on Hulu. No streaming date has been revealed at this time.
