Brooke Shields says women over 40 are 'unrepresented' in her career: 'You’re put out to pasture'
Brooke Shields has accomplished a lot in her career, but she’s not slowing down anytime soon. In a clip shared on Instagram, Shields, 57, teased an upcoming interview with Gayle King for "Oprah Daily" in which she discussed aging in Hollywood, her career and her online platform "Beginning is Now." "I'm still in a career, I'm still working, I'm here and I was shocked by how unrepresented I was," Shields said to King. "You're either [in your] 20s and sexy and fabulous or you're in Depends and you've got dentures." Brooke Shields encourages all women to "try new things, to say look how long I've lived and look how much more I have."
