At age three, Brooke Shields made her first stroll down the catwalk; at eight she landed her first film role in the mystery Alice, Sweet Alice; and at twelve she became a household name portraying a pre-teen prostitute in Louis Malle's controversial feature, Pretty Baby. Shields currently brings her charisma to the title role of NBC's Suddenly Susan, now in its third season, for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.

She also starred in the mini-series, Nothing Lasts Forever and in an episode of HBO's Tales From The Crypt entitled Came from the Dawn.

Shields has recently completed roles in the Sundance favorite, The Misadventures of Margaret to be released by MGM and The Weekend co-starring with legendary actress Gena Rowlands. Shields appeared in New Line's The Bachelor, with Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zellweger.
