Pretty Baby Brooke Shields Hulu

Brooke Shields has been in the public eye since she was a baby. Her mother started finding modeling gigs for her as a toddler before moving on to commercials and movies. Since her film roles in the early 1980s, she has been a household name. Everyone knows her for her beauty (and stunning eyebrows) and her talent as an actress and comedian. But there is so much more to her.

When I began watching Hulu’s new documentary about her, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields, I thought I would just be learning more about her personal life and the ups and downs of being a Hollywood icon. I was wrong. The two-episode documentary features Shields herself narrating much of her life along with tons of archival footage. It’s incredible how much of her life was displayed for the world, even before the internet and social media. What surprises me about the series is how much Shields’ story encapsulates exactly how our society wrongs women and girls on a regular basis.
