Drew’s show was the right place for that interview.
It’s amazing and sad how much she and Brooke had in common and endured as child actors.
Brooke managed to break free and attend college. I wish Drew had that chance.
Cool. I remember watching both Drew and Brooke as child actors. For sure, they were both sexualized, infantilized and exploited. I have to find this interview online and take a listen. For sure, this interview may always have happened regardless of Duchess Meghan’s Archetypes podcast. But I have a feeling that Meg’s honest conversations with a number of high profile women, discussing similar issues and concerns, has surely had an influential impact.
I saw this interview. I recall both Brooke and Drews childhood years, the tabloids, the constant photos, etc.
There was a constant talk of both Moms being terrible stage Moms, using/selling their childhoods, people forget Tatum O’Neil in all this too.
I think both Drew’s and Brooke’s moms were so desperate to get into the Hollywood parties themselves that they exploited their minor children to get in. So sick. Kris Jenner has done the same with her children – most of them were adults by the time that started but two of them weren’t.
I watched Brooke’s documentary on Netflix.
She was very honest yet at the same time she didn’t want to say anything bad about her mother. I always wondered why her father wasn’t more active in her life.
He was very wealthy and he could have protected her more. Brooke and Drew both are very strong women.
I watched the first episode, am going to watch the 2nd.
There were things as a kid that I saw (like Blue Lagoon) and thought it didn’t seem right, but everyone else acted like it was normal. But then you get older and reflect on those things, and realize that Yes, I was correct back then! This was totally unacceptable and adults of all kinds failed to stop this public exploitation and predation. The sexualization of children and young teens is a crime that continues today. Brooke and Drew can’t be blamed, they were kids doing what made adults happy. But their parents, the directors, other actors, the studios, the public that consumed it, etc., should have known better.
I agree! So many “normal” TV shows are about teen lives and their sex lives, but adults are obsessed with it. I don’t mind a good teen drama here or there but the sex scenes are sometimes so graphic, even knowing the actors are actually adults, it’s uncomfortable. I wish our society would pivot away from all this child and teen sexualization. There are plenty of adult story lines that could take over.
Katie Holmes really does have questionable fashion taste but I do love her hair and make-up in that pic (and that coat). Wasn’t she going to design clothes at one point (when she was with TC, I think)??
She did, it was with a Scientologist member and all they did was copy and paste other fashion designers clothes and call it something different.
Tom also tried to make Katie into a dancer. And changed her name to just “Kate.” It kind of reminds me of William trying to re-make his own Kate into “CEO Catherine with a fake accent”.
THANK YOU for saying this about Katie. Her sense of style is…lacking. I like her but my god her outfits, I cringe.
I recently read an article that mentioned Katie being “known for her fashionable outfits” and I rolled my eyes. Am I seeing the same shit??
Crazy or not, she looks amazing in that get up and somehow it all goes together?
That was a nice interview and they seemed to have such a fond bond for one another and an empathy that only they could share which was deeply kind of touching to watch as they talked to each other. It was very nicely done. Sad to imagine what they both endured so unfairly at the hands of those who should have been looking out for them as children and adolescents.
Why is Brooke Shields dredging up so many decades old stories (i.e., JFK Jr. who died in 1999)? Why? Is she looking to be so back in the public eye? Does anyone know?
I mean she wrote a memoir recently so that might have something to do with it…
I like Katie’s dress. It is unique and she looks cute in it. I think it fits her personality. Her makeup and hair are pretty.
Drew & Brooke made me cry. I felt the same way about #MeToo. The interview was beautiful and hard at the same time. It was raw.
