Brooke Shields – The Blue Lagoon, 1980

Born to the renowned model and actress Teri Shields in 1965, Brooke Christa Shields embarked on her modeling odyssey at a mere 11 months old. As a child model and actress, she charted an exceptionally triumphant trajectory, even gracing the cover of Vogue magazine at the tender age of 14, thus becoming the youngest fashion model to achieve such an esteemed honor.

One of her most distinguished cinematic achievements came in the form of the 1980 release “The Blue Lagoon,” where Shields portrayed the character Emmeline. This sensuous movie, co-starring Christopher Atkins, captivated audiences with its narrative of teenage romance set against the backdrop of a tropical island. Evoking both passion and controversy through its inclusion of nude scenes, the film remarkably garnered over $58 million in box office earnings, a remarkable feat considering its modest $4.5 million budget.
