Brooke Shields | Daughter of Teri and Frank Shields

Brooke Shields has been in the business since she was very young. She was first making her debut as a model before moving to act. Some might assume that Brooke needed to work from an early age to support her family, but this isn’t the case for the actress. She wouldn’t have needed a job, considering how well-off her family is. Her mother, Teri, worked as an actress and model. While she may not have reached superstardom like her daughter, Teri did have decent success and earned her share. Shields’ father, Frank, worked on Wall Street for years. Before he switched gears, he landed a job as a marketing executive for Estee Lauder and Revlon.

Unlike other aspiring actresses, Shields pursued her dreams without worry about going into debt or needing money loans. She also received the support of her parents, which we’re sure made things a bit easier.
