In the doc, directed by Lana Wilson and destined for Hulu, Shields talks about the sexualization of young girls, her relationship with her mother, and, for the first time, her experience with sexual assault.
I have been approached multiple times, and it didn’t feel like the right entities for whatever the reason, and it also felt too soon, in many ways. On all the other situations, they either felt premature or they felt like they were coming at my story from the wrong direction. [This direction] took it out of the realm of just biopic.Not at all. I went in extremely open. I am not the director of it, I’m not the producer.
I don’t really think it’s my job to try to affect those in Hollywood. Where I was coming from, it was as a woman, as a mother, as someone who has lived with the guilt of this for so long and had continuously tried to learn how to process it. I wanted to share this story with other men and women who might possibly be struggling or trying to survive this, hoping that at least if I share the incident and the story then it helps others to work through whatever they need to work through.
and their thoughts about what you went through as a child actor. Much of your career has been documented, argued over and relitigated, and this documentary no doubt will lead to more discussions. These conversations — I’ve been at the center of so many of them for so many decades. I have learned to maintain my truth and to deliver it. I’ve been ready my whole life, and I’ve had a lot of practice. Let me back up to the conversation at the dinner table. That shocked me. That was not the plan. But the things that my daughters said, I’m not sure I would’ve had that level of conversation had this documentary [not] come up.
I’m so excited to start the new chapters in my life. And despite it all, I love to be in this industry. It’s a gift to be excited about what I do. I’m not really dreading any part of it because, to me, the story is so much bigger. The incident [assault] that will undoubtedly be focused on is five minutes [in the film], but there’s a whole other hour and 45 minutes. I’m so proud of looking at my body of work and saying, “I accomplished that and I kept learning and I kept growing.” I’m still here.
