MOST TALENTED AND LUCKIEST CELEBRITIES
BROOKE SHIELDS
Those last few years of work, including many appearances as presenter and host of various events, were completed while Shields was starring in her own successful television sitcom, Suddenly Susan (1996). All that doesn’t leave much time for “real” life but the odd thing did crop up in the news. Off-camera Shields married tennis star Andre Agassi in 1997, divorcing him in 1999. She successfully sued a British tabloid for libel in 1998, and tactfully handled the death by suicide of Susan co-star, David Strickland, in 1999. Shields is author of two books, The Brooke Book and On Your Own. She has even taken to the stage, in a Broadway revival of Grease. Coming up for the performer are the independent films After Sex and Black and White. She’s doing just fine, it seems, for a Worst Actress. So she’s not the most natural of actors. Some of the “somethings” she does have are charisma, highly photogenic beauty and driving ambition. It’s all working very well.
