Part one examines the intense sexualization Shields experienced as a young girl, including a provocative nude photoshoot at age 10, and her appearance as a child prostitute in the film “Pretty Baby” at age 11.
After experiencing global fame as a teenager, Shields attended university at Princeton, and initially struggled to find acting roles again after she graduated– leading to the meeting with her alleged rapist.The movie, which earned Shields a standing ovation at its Sundance premiere, also chronicles the media’s later obsession with her virginity, her mother’s alcoholism, and her first marriage to tennis star Andre Agassi.
