Brooke Shields discussed being a sexualized as a child actor and the perils of growing up in Hollywood as she marked International Women's Day on Friday by appearing on a panel at SXSW She said: 'There was this sexualization of young women and I was at the center of it. I was promoting it, I was surrounded by a strong mom, had a community around me, I did not become the type of statistic that Hollywood created'

The star's mother was an alcoholic who died in 2012. Shields, an only child, said she could not be angry at her as her mother was so insecure. 'I mean, I could say, 'Oh, it was the time back then,' or 'Oh, it was art.' But I don't know why she thought it was all right. I don't know.' There was more sex and nudity for her the following year in Franco Zeffirelli's romantic drama Endless Love, about two high-school sweethearts who are forbidden to see each other.
