An Evening With Brooke Shields

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.

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, Shields faces a different kind of scrutiny: that of being a “woman of a certain age.”

And yet, for Shields, the passage of time has brought freedom. At 59, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and more 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, Shields insists, 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, Shields 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 life experiences with humor and humility, and weaving research and reporting, Shields takes aim at the systemic factors that contribute to age-related bias.

By turns inspiring, moving and galvanizing, Shields’ honesty and vulnerability will resonate with women everywhere and spark a new conversation about the power and promise of midlife.
