'Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields' Trailer Highlights the Exploitation and Later Liberation of a Young Model

The ugly side of Hollywood is on full display in a new trailer for ABC's two-part documentary event Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields. Set to release on April 3, the Lana Wilson-directed documentary looks back on the career of Brooke Shields who began professionally modeling at 11 months old and later became a Hollywood darling for her beauty. She was also horrifically exploited as a young woman, forced into overly-sexual roles as a minor, and constantly defined by her physical appeal.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "The most photographed woman in the world," Shields became the face of the 80s for her beauty. Through awkward talk show interactions and photo shoots, the footage frames her slimy treatment in the eyes of the public, teasing a deeper exploration into all the little ways she was commodified and controlled.

Despite everything, Shields fought like hell to shed the stereotypes, attending college and eventually re-entering the industry as an adult with recent films like A Castle for Christmas and Netflix's upcoming Mother of the Bride. She'll give her own perspective in the two-part documentary on how she ultimately found the freedom to be herself by constantly pushing forward.

In addition to Wilson, Pretty Baby has Ali Wentworth, Alyssa Mastromonaco, George Stephanopoulos, Jay Peterson, Todd Lubin, Jacqueline Glover, and Jennifer Joseph on board as executive producers. The documentary marks the first project for Wentworth, Mastromanco, and Stephanopoulos's new banner BedBy8 which produced the event with ABC News Studios and Matador Content. Wilson also reunites with her Miss Americana producer Christine O’Malley who also joins Jack Turner on the production end.
