Brooke Shields on the Eyebrows that made her famous.

I didn't have a concept of beauty when I was a kid.I might have been self-conscious because everyone else was taking care of my hair and makeup.When someone did my makeup, I wouldn't look in the mirror.It was kind of boring to sit in those chairs at the time.You had to act and play.

My mom was very protective of my look.She was threatening to break the fingers of any makeup artist who approached her.She didn't know the eyebrows were going to be so famous.She felt that this was who she was.This is what you get if you want it.We are not going to change anything.

Eileen Ford, the head of the agency, wanted me to bleach my eyebrows because my hair was light in the summer.My mom said no.Eileen said that her hair is blond.My mom said, "Excuse me, but you're not touching her eyebrows."My mom wanted to keep everything I had.

We are still talking about the brows.They were very different from the looks of the ’60s and early ’70s.The Time cover that declared me "The ’80s Look" came about after I walked in a show.We went into a back room and I put on a sweater.My face was white and I thought it was ridiculous.How can you be the same person as the ’80s?Who will speak?It is so random.

I would do this surprised expression because Richard Avedon liked my brows.One brow would go up more than the other.He would say, "OK, give me the brows" when he photographed me.

I let someone clean up my brows while I was on the show Suddenly Susan.It was a disaster.She arched them and cut them.I was devastated that she was a famous eyebrow person.Thank you, God, it all grew back.
