After shooting the Taylor Swift documentary Miss Americana, deconstructing another pop icon in Brooke Shields was an organic segue for filmmaker Lana Wilson. The director is up for a Primetime Emmy…
Shields proved a documentarian’s dream subject, not holding back from her roller-coaster ride high of being a 1980s starlet in such dicey movies such asto tabloid headlines as Andre Agassi’s wife and Michael Jackson’s Grammys dateWilson wanted to make sure Shields would be “really game for an outsider’s perspective on them….I could see she was game.”
Key for Wilson was showing Shields and what she represented at different points in time as a cultural icon. “It was hard for her to grow up as a child with the symbol Brooke Shields already being identified in these incredibly loaded ways: sexualized, exploited child star; later virginity, purity symbol. She was a persona and a symbol before she was a human and I like the idea of incorporating that tension into the film,” Wilson said.
However, above all, it was important to zero in on Shields’ manager mom Teri Shields, who not only battled alcoholism but went toe-to-toe with filmmakers themselves. Wilson told Shields, “‘I think your mom deserves a complex portrayal because there was a deep love there, but she also caused you a huge amount of pain. I felt like we had to talk about all of it.”
