From generational icon Brooke Shields comes an intimate and empowering exploration of aging that flips the script on the idea of what it means for a woman to grow older Brooke Shields has spent a lifetime in the public eye. Growing up as a child actor and model, her every feature was scrutinized, her every decision judged. Today Brooke faces a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a “woman of a certain age.” And yet, for Brooke, the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins. Now, in Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old, she’s changing the narrative about women and aging. This is an era, insists Brooke, when women are reclaiming agency and power, not receding into the shadows. These are the years when we get to decide how we want to live—when we get to write our own stories. With remarkable candor, Brooke bares all, painting a vibrant and optimistic picture of being a woman in the prime of her life, while dismantling the myths that have, for too long, dimmed that perception. Sharing her own life experiences with humor and humility, and weaving together research and reporting, Brooke takes aim at the systemic factors that contribute to age-related bias. By turns inspiring, moving, and galvanizing, Brooke’s honesty and vulnerability will resonate with women everywhere, and spark a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.

La vita di Brooke Shields non può certo definirsi noiosa. I suoi genitori divorziano quando ha appena cinque mesi e da allora è la madre Teri, figura ingombrante e problematica, a prendersi cura della piccola. Brooke inizia a posare come modella alla tenera età di undici mesi, il primo passo verso una carriera che la renderà la bambina, e poi l''adolescente, più famosa della sua generazione. Teri è l''artefice di tutto questo e non è una madre come tutte le altre: è anche una manager intraprendente e protettiva, votata alla carriera della figlia, che cercherà in ogni modo di tenere lontano dalle numerose insidie del successo. Nella vita privata, però, la forza e la determinazione svaniscono, lasciando il posto a una donna fragile, instabile e aggressiva, dedita all''alcol. La stessa Brooke cerca in più occasioni di aiutare la madre in difficoltà. Il loro legame è misterioso e inconsueto, e i litigi sono frequenti, soprattutto quando Brooke rivendicherà la propria indipendenza, nella vita privata e professionale: da adulta, farà delle scelto che condizioneranno irrimediabilmente il loro rapporto. Divenuta a sua volta madre, Brooke si renderà conto che i suoi atteggiamenti sono influenzati, almeno in parte, dalla donna che l''ha cresciuta. E nonostante tutto, quando Teri muore, nel 2012, la figlia è al suo fianco, con tutto l''amore di cui è capace.

Skuespilleren Brooke Shields deler i denne boken sin personlige fortelling om fødselsdepresjon med leseren. Shields strevde lenge med å bli gravid og var overlykkelig da datteren kom til verden. Men lykken ble raskt fulgt av helt andre følelser: utmattelse og depresjon. Hun klarte ikke glede seg over babyen, følte seg som en dårlig mor, syntes livet var ødelagt og gikk til slutt med selvmordstanker. I boken forteller hun om disse opplevelsene og om hvordan hun til slutt klarte å snu det vonde til noe positivt.

Frankie, lillesøsteren Violet og hunden Darla hygger sig sammen med far.

When Shields welcomed her newborn daughter into the world, something unexpected followed--a crippling depression. Now, for the first time ever, she talks about the trials, tribulations, and finally the triumphs that occurred before, during, and after the birth of her daughter. Shields shares how she, too, battled this debilitating condition that is widely misunderstood, despite the fact that it affects many new mothers. She discusses the illness in the context of her life, including her struggle to get pregnant, the high expectations she had for herself and that others placed on her as a new mom, and the role of her husband, friends, and family as she struggled to attain her maternal footing. Ultimately, she shares how she found a way out through talk therapy, medication, and time.
