**d-null** · 11-08-2008, 09:45 AM

if that came out in 2008 I wonder if that picture you posted and the movie itself would have caused a front page news uproar?

I might have been thinking of her earlier movie, but this one got controversy too, here is something from wikipedia about it:

"The film was the ninth biggest box office hit of 1980 in North America according to Box Office Mojo, grossing US$58,853,106 in the United States and Canada.[2] Unlike her earlier Pretty Baby, this film featured no actual nude scenes for the young Shields, who was only 14 when the film was made. A body double was used for all of her nude scenes, although Shields was featured in several topless scenes. Atkins has a few full frontal nudity scenes however, and the film also featured love scenes."

Remeber this important point (which you already know of course) :

When Hollywood does it then it's "art"

When you do it then it's "jail time".

That is all.

yeah Pretty Baby is one doozy of a film. Quite the subject matter, but another good movie.

BTW: in 1980 14 was still the age of consent in some states.

It was 14 in Hawaii until 2002!!!

**Fletch XXX** · 11-08-2008, 10:31 AM

her mom pimped her out for nude pics when she was young.

the whole family is sick.

**Fletch XXX** · 11-08-2008, 10:33 AM

her mom was pimping her out before she was even 1

Brooke Shields got an early start in modeling when her mother, an aspiring actress, signed her up for an Ivory Snow commercial when she was only eleven months old. Her mother was reportedly so afraid of crib death that she bound the sleeping Brooke to her body at night with a cloth before going to sleep. The mother-daughter team didn't seem to be much farther apart for the next 30 years.

In 1978 a barely adolescent Shields played a child prostitute in Louis Malle's Pretty Baby with Susan Sarandon as her mother. Audiences were sufficiently disturbed by Shields's nude scenes that she spoke before a Congressional inquiry, testifying that some of the most scandalous scenes had been filmed by older body doubles. Nude pictures of Shields, taken when she was 10, surfaced when she was 15, and mother and daughter sued to have them suppressed. The court decided the contracts were in order and deemed the photos "art".
