Brooke Shields Opens Up About Her Journey of Self-Discovery and Empowerment in New Memoir

Los Angeles, CA – October 2023 – Iconic actress, model, and author Brooke Shields is once again capturing the public’s attention, this time with the release of her deeply personal memoir, 'Worthy: Finding Myself in the Mirror.' The book, which hit shelves this week, delves into Shields’ decades-long career in the spotlight, her struggles with identity, and her path to self-acceptance.

Shields, who first rose to fame as a child model and actress in the 1970s and 1980s, has long been a household name. From her controversial role in Pretty Baby at just 12 years old to her iconic Calvin Klein ads and her breakout performance in The Blue Lagoon, Shields has navigated the complexities of fame from a young age. Now, at 58, she is reflecting on her life with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.

In 'Worthy,' Shields opens up about the pressures of growing up in the public eye, the objectification she faced as a young woman, and her battles with postpartum depression—a topic she first addressed in her 2005 memoir, Down Came the Rain. This time, however, Shields takes readers even deeper, exploring how she reclaimed her narrative and learned to see herself as more than just a face or a brand.

'For so long, I felt like I was living up to other people’s expectations,' Shields shared in a recent interview. 'I was the ‘it’ girl, the ‘pretty baby,’ the ‘blue lagoon’ girl. But who was I underneath all of that? This book is about peeling back those layers and finding the real me.'

The memoir also touches on Shields’ relationships, including her marriage to tennis star Andre Agassi and her current partnership with screenwriter Chris Henchy, with whom she shares two daughters, Rowan and Grier. Shields credits motherhood with helping her find a deeper sense of purpose and resilience.

Fans and critics alike are praising 'Worthy' for its raw honesty and empowering message. 'Brooke Shields has always been a symbol of beauty and strength, but this book shows us the woman behind the image,' said one reviewer. 'It’s a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled with self-worth.'

In addition to her writing, Shields continues to act, most recently starring in the Netflix hit Mother of the Bride and appearing in the popular series The Middle. She is also an advocate for mental health awareness, using her platform to destigmatize conversations around depression and self-care.

As she embarks on a nationwide book tour, Shields hopes her story will inspire others to embrace their own journeys of self-discovery. 'I’ve learned that worthiness isn’t something you earn—it’s something you claim,' she said. 'And I’m finally ready to claim mine.'

'Worthy: Finding Myself in the Mirror' is now available wherever books are sold. Brooke Shields will be appearing at select bookstores and events across the country this fall. For more information, visit her official website.
