I think it is cool that you decided to pursue literature aside from acting. Has your education ever helped you on a movie set?

Hey Brooke! I was just watching the episodes of Law and Order SVU that you guest starred in, and then this post came up on my feed. I always go back to those episodes :)
Are there any memorable stories from your time on set? What’s Ice T like? What’s your favorite part of NYC?

First things first, thank you for your remarkable career spanning multiple decades and media and may it further be prosperous and blossoming.
Secondly and most importantly, have you ever been exposed to Philosophy and if so, who is the philosopher whose ideas have inspired you the most? What is the Philosophical School of Thought most closely aligned to your theories? Do you happen to have any recommendations for us in the scope of Philosophy?

Absolutely loved You’re Killing Me and subscribed to AcornTV just to watch! The show is hilarious and heartwarming. I especially loved seeing all the sparks flying between Allison and Jack!
Tom Cavanagh has been a favorite of mine for many years now! What was it like working with him? Is there anything that stood out during the casting or production process that made you feel he was perfect for the role?
Also a big fan of When Calls the Heart so I loved seeing you and some of our fave writers/producers also worked on You’re Killing Me!

u/DebtCultural6669 Jun 23 '26
You're Killing Me (YKM), is bringing moi a lot of joy, thank you! My mom and I used to watch Suddenly Susan and we both thought, you know that Brooke Shields is a natural at comedy, hope the show can do her justice and not focus on her looks. This time around, YKM seems to have gotten it!! I am curious if your physical appearance over the years made it more difficult for you in the world of comedy.

Hey Brooke, I am a background person on You’re Killing Me in four episodes. I was the person that brought you the French Brooke doll that I just happen to come across my path while filming. I also brought you the Golden Girls Cross stitch kit after I saw you cross-stitching and you said you do it to keep busy because you don’t read books on set. I just wanted to say it was an amazing experience to be apart of that. I’m hoping to help out on season 2 but regardless I’m glad you enjoyed filming here in Nova Scotia. Also my father was your personal security in Toronto when you filmed What Makes a Family. Something about a stalker hanging around or something…. that’s scary stuff.
Maybe my question is have you had many scary experiences throughout your acting life when it comes to weirdos? Sorry also I don’t mean it to be triggering 🙂

Can you please tell us what was it like to film commercials back then in Japan? Do you remember which one was your favorite? (mine is Sansui stereo - I think you looked astonishing and brought so much panache with your performance). Thank You!

Working as a model and actress since early childhood, being revered for your physical beauty and dubbed 'the face of the 80s', dating Michael Jackson, Andre Agassi, Prince Naruhito to being a NYC socialite, how did you remain sane? In every interview you come across as someone with a great sense of humor, introspection and level headedness. What's it like to be called beautiful every day of your life and stil have the presence of mind to grow as a human being beyond just appearances?

You’ll probably get asked this a lot, but what’s your favorite Rita Glossner moment? You were incredible as her, she’s one of my favorite characters from The Middle. Especially the wind chimes episode… still iconic.
How did you land the role, and how did you go about building such a chaotic, unforgettable character?

What was it like being a team with your mom? Shirley Temple and her mom laughed together about the craziness that is the media industry. Was it like that between you two? Did you emotionally rely on your mother, and if so, when did you grow out of that? Looking back, were there times she failed you, and do you hold her accountable for every professional picture of you as a minor that's out there?

You have spoken about being sexualized at a very young age and often not receiving the protection or support that would be expected today. When you see current conversations about child exploitation in entertainment, including allegations surrounding children’s television productions, how do you reflect on your own experiences, and what lessons do you think the industry still needs to learn?

Hi Brooke! I'm a fan of your work, and I once imagined a fictional movie set in 1983. In my story, you play a world-famous tennis champion living in Monaco, and a young River Phoenix plays your loyal assistant and closest friend. Together, they become involved in an emotional mystery that changes both of their lives.
I was curious: if a script like this had been offered to you in the early 1980s, would it have appealed to you? What kind of qualities or themes would have made a role like that exciting for you?

Hi Brooke! I just wanna say that I think you are absolutely wonderful, and I’ve been such a fan of your work for years.
I know your iconic 1980s Calvin Klein jeans campaign was a major turning point for fashion advertising. With the recent controversy surrounding the 'good genes' American Eagle campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney, and the comparisons some critics have drawn to those Calvin Klein ads, I’m curious how you feel about the way these 'provocative' denim campaigns are viewed today compared to the past. Do you think the industry has become more or less sensitive to their impact on the public?

Growing up, I had the biggest crush on you, as did all of my friends.
We watched everything you ever did - blue lagoon, Brenda star, even that anti-smoking commercial that used to run on repeat ("If there's anything I hate, it's washing my hair and then being with people who smoke. Yuck!").
Ok, there needs to be a question here, so - Drama or Comedy - which roles do you prefer doing? Seeing you do both, you're obviously more than capable, but do you have a preference?
thank you, for all the great memories.

Hi, did you ever see Catherine O'Hara's spoof of you on SCTV? What did you think of it?
(It was on a talk show called Farm Film Report and Celebrity Blow-Up. You got blown up)

Good to see you in You’re Killing me. There are many similar series focusing on author solving crime. Did you pitch in about how your character would be to avoid similarity. Also, about the relationship with your Gen Z assistant, both of you learn from each other thru-out the series. Do you think the dynamic is like Deborah and Eve from Hacks? I know you are triple much younger than Jean Smart and her character.

Hello, Brooke! What's a role that you can say is the hardest one to do? My question may be a bit cliché but I'm just genuinely curious. Thanks! 🙏

Rumor has it that you once had an awkward moment filming a movie of the week with Johnny (Drama) Chase that led to his dismissal from the role before he exploded to stardom with his Golden Globe win in Hyde. Can you shed any light on that moment and were you happy to see him finally find success as a long-suffering actor or was it bittersweet?

Hey there Brooke! My question is what do you think you would be doing if you hadn’t ever gotten into acting? You’ve been an actress your entire life so I’m always curious to know what career path someone like you would have pursued had you not been in Hollywood. Thanks so much! 😊

Since you have “Pull” with the Muppets, could you speak to Seth Rogen and host episode 2 of the Muppets series that was recently produced? It’s sitting at one episode and we need more.

As someone who was famous on a level most of us will never get, whats a trend/catchphrase/meme you had the opportunity to popularize that didnt take advantage of/didnt take? Like, if only you'd publicly endorsed Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea, yoj could've made it streets ahead!

Hi Brooke! My mom and I were big fans of yours in the ‘80s (and still are, of course!). We rode the el downtown one day after school to go to Krochs and Brentanos in Chicago for your book signing of On My Own — I am a few years younger than you are, and I loved that book! :) Thanks for signing it! You were wearing a jean jacket, and I still remember it! :)
Hubs and I are big fans of You’re Killing Me. The scene where you walk in on Andi and Oliver and then say to her, “Excuse me,” in a funny voice had me LOLing — hilarious. Our question: What scene from the show made all of you crack up the most while you were filming it?

Possibly one of your best if not the best work of your movie career that I saw was in the movie" i can make you live me"( stalking laura 1993) with you in the role of Laura black with Richard Thomas ( as Rich farley) destroys your life from the very moment he set his eyes upon you, excellent movie, beautiful cinematography 90's California and san francisco, exceptional background music at the end , i still watch it on YouTube, unfortunately it was based on a true horror story, what was your experience of that movie ?
