Brooke Shields
Brooke Shields started modeling when she was a child, and when she was just 12 years old she was offered a leading role in Louis Malle’s film Pretty Baby. The film was controversial as it had 12-year-old Shields playing a child prostitute living in New Orleans. Her mother was both supportive of her career but also arguably not with Brooke’s best interests at heart, allowing her to model on sets not suitable for children. In the 1990s Shields was promoted physical fitness and athletics as being compatible with femininity (I know, we take that for granted now!), and today she is an animal rights activist, as well as involved with girls’ mental health. Today she is married to Chris Henchy, and they have two children together.

Elisabeth Shue
Actress Elisabeth Shue has been nominated for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA, for her fantastic acting. One of her earlier roles is one of our all-time favorite films, The Karate Kid (1984), but she is often associated with her roles in Cocktail from 1988, and Back to the Future in 1989. She is currently starring in the Amazon series, The Boys. We are also hoping to see her in the Karate Kid universe reboot, Netflix’s Cobra Kai, in the near future!
