The Pretty Baby Brooke Shields
Shields was born in New York City into a well-known American society family with links to Italian and French nobility. Her grandmother was the Italian princess Donna Marina Torlonia. Her parents, Frank Shields and Teri, divorced when she was 2 years old. She has two step-brothers and three half-sisters. During her early years, Shields lived at 73 W. 59th St. in Manhattan. When Brooke was only five days old, her mother decided she was going to have a show business career. According to her mother, "She was the most beautiful child", and she was going to help her with her career. When she was 8 years old, Brooke Shields posed nude; and, at age 10, she was paid $45 to appear in Playboy.
At age 12, Shields played a child prostitute her age. At age 16, she had already worked for 16 years and had made more money than the President of the United States. Eileen Ford, founder of the Ford Modeling Agency, said of Brooke Shields: ...She is a professional child and unique. She looks like an adult and thinks like one.
The pretty baby is twelve-year-old Violet, played by Brooke Shields. Violet has grown in the environment of a circa World War I brothel in New Orleans, where her mother Hattie (Susan Sarandon) practices the oldest of professions. The first scene of the movie shows Violet's strikingly beautiful face in the dark, lit beautifully, warmly from the side. We hear moaning of a woman, and see Violet watching solemnly. Gradually the sounds change into cries of pain, and we see it's a woman in labor that Violet is watching. The baby is a boy.
Shields' first major film role was her 1978 appearance in Louis Malle's Pretty Baby, a movie in which she played a child who lived in a brothel (and in which there were numerous nude scenes). Because she was only 12 when the film was released, and possibly 11 when it was filmed, questions were raised about child pornography. This was followed by a slightly less controversial and less notable film, Wanda Nevada (1979)

"Avatar'" was created twelve years ago by Cameron
"Avatar'" was created twelve years ago by Cameron, but was ahead of its time. Cameron had to shelve the project and wait for technology to catch up to the script he had written. In 2005 Cameron thought he was close enough to push the technology to tell the story he always wanted to tell and went back to work. It cost Jim blood, sweat and tears and of course a lot of money, but the result is just fascinating, mesmerizing. Money well spent.
Mr. James Cameron's youngest "Avatar" is a mind-blowing adventure and the most impressive and intricate work of art, I've ever seen.
I am really happy that the movie turned out great. Not just for Jim's sake or because it had been a while since I'd seen a really good movie, but because of all the "Avatar" haters out there. All of those people who were trashing the movie before even watching it. They didn't give the movie a chance and let everyone believe that the movie was going to be really bad.
Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn... Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on an alien planet filled with exotic life forms. As an Avatar, a human mind in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. More than ten years in the making, Avatar marks Cameron's return to feature directing since helming 1997's Titanic, the highest grossing film of all time and winner of eleven Oscars® including Best Picture.
Determining the final cost of this film is a trick in itself. Wildly different reports have been published, ranging from $230 million (The New Yorker) to nearly $500 million (The New York Times). Avatar’s official budget lies somewhere in between, probably closest to the figure the Los Angeles Times’s John Horn and Claudia Eller cited earlier this month—$280 million for the production, plus marketing costs. “It is the most expensive film we’ve made, but now, having the luxury of hindsight, it is money well spent, so I’m not concerned about it,” James Gianopulos, co-chairman and C.E.O. of Fox Filmed Entertainment, told CNN in early December.
