baby brooke

ummm, so i'm still dealing with just an iceberg tip where my picksh are concerned. but i did just re-snag this shot of a young teenage miss brooke shields. now, when i was growing up i remember movies like 'pretty baby' and 'king of the gypsies' on HBO. i remember my mother talking about her, you know, that whole issue of over-sexualizing children that seemed to blossom in the media around that time. at the time, like around the time of 'endless love' and 'the blue lagoon,' i remember her being so famous and so glamorous, and i knew how young she was. i wanted to be like her... i wanted to look like her. even at that age, i remember realizing her acting 'chops' weren't the greatest, but i did love the way she looked. and i loved all the attention she got. hey, i just remembered her being in that awful movie where she was a runaway that was befriended by george burns so she could avoid apparently being killed by some criminal ex-boyfriend. what was that movie called? oh yeah, was it 'just you and me, kid?' or 'here's lookin' at you, kid?' wait, i'm gonna look it up. okay, 1979, and it was 'just you and me, kid.' apparently the 'cute' tagline was: 'the story of two juvenile delinquents.' oh, i get it... its a cute joke, 'cause he's old. and the synopsis reminds me she was running away from drug dealers. oh, and how's this for a supporting cast? lorraine 'jaws, mrs. brody' gary, burl ives, ray bolger, and christopher knight! (?) and hey, what a surprise, its not out on DVD yet!
