On 17 November 2014, Liz McNeil wrote an article for People about Brooke Shields:

Brooke Shields caused a sensation back in 1980, when she modeled a pair of Calvin Klein jeans and proclaimed, "Nothing comes between me and my Calvins."

Thirty-four years later, Shields writes about the infamous commercial in her new memoir about her mom and her extraordinary life, There was a little girl.

It turns out the star has the famous blue jeans in storage.

"I do have them in [my] archives (she calls “archives” to her wardrobe)," she says. "[They] fit but I have to lie on my bed to get them on. Very tight."

In her book, Shields reveals that she had no idea her Calvin commercial had a double meaning: "In no way did I think I was saying anything controversial or sexual. It never occurred to me that the line could mean I wasn't wearing underwear. I was once again perceived as both a Lolita and an abused daughter (just like in Louis Malle’s Pretty Baby)."

The beauty icon says she actually felt "disconnected" from her celebrated looks.

"I just never felt like I could live up to what people were saying about me," she explains. "How do you live up to being the look of the '80s or America's most beautiful face since Elizabeth Taylor? I wasn't skin and bones and I didn't have boobs and I didn't have all the things that people get celebrated for, and yet I was also considered and talked about as this beauty. It made me think of, 'Gosh, how can they possibly think that's true?' I truly didn’t buy into it. I didn't think I was the most beautiful thing in the world. I thought Rene Russo was."

The controversial casting of Brooke Shields as Violet in Louis Malle's Pretty Baby, was rigged by Brooke's mom, Teri to outcast Jodie Foster (who was originally signed to co-star with Jane Fonda) for not being "too beautiful enough". Jane Fonda was forced by Paramount's corrupt CEO Chuck Bluhdorn to abandon the project. This is a case of showbiz corruption for hiring mediocre talents like Brooke Shields –who did mediocre films after Pretty Baby– instead of hiring skilled talents. What would happen if Jodie Foster and Jane Fonda would stick to the project, as originally planned? The two JF's would have starred in Pretty Baby instead of Susan Sarandon and Brooke Shields! Unlike Brooke, her co-star in Pretty Baby, Susan Sarandon would build an illustrious movie career.

I think "Pretty Baby" is the kind of flick that some movie connoisseurs will feel compelled to say they like. However, all the things I've seen it lauded for are in fact sub par - story, script, performances and cinematography. The film is laced with moments that the director obviously thought were pregnant with meaning, but are actually just awkwardly long. I was begging for the credits to roll an hour before they did. The movie is sloppy and uninspired from start to finish, which is a shame because turn of the century New Orleans is a story that deserves to be told well.
