Interview: Lana Wilson (Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields)

After making her 2020 documentary Miss Americana about Taylor Swift, director Lana Wilson wasn't necessarily looking for another story about a famous woman— but the story of Brooke Shields, a former child star who took control of her own narrative, proved impossible to ignore. Wilson talks about telling Shields's complex story with the aid of Shields's own archives, and which Brooke Shields performances are worth watching to get a sense of who she really is.
