The 70s at 7

Starting a new feature here on the blog that all of you 40somethings should appreciate - The 70s at 7.

Tonight's post salutes that magnificent creation of the Lord himself, the girl who assisted most of the men of my generation to get through puberty, none other than teen diva Brooke Shields who thirty years later is even more beautiful and talented than ever.

Here's Brooke at age 13 on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.



She had a significant modeling career going back to her infancy. Of course Brooke's first big break was in the controversial film Pretty Baby and then later in The Blue Lagoon. Brooke later made a Miley Cyrus type scandalous (for the time) career move appearing in television commercials for Calvin Klein.



Brooke later put her career on hold for college, dated everyone from Michael Jackson to Dean Cain to Michael Bolton to John F. Kennedy, Jr. and later married tennis star Andre Agassi. She made a career comeback starring in the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan and this past season came back to television with Lipstick Jungle. Here's Brooke being interviewed in recent times by Tom Green.

She's cute. I feel bad now for laughing at her so hard during those old SNL "commercials" where Laraine Newman twisted up in knots making fun of those Calvin Klein commercials.

They were great with those huge eyebrows painted on. Most of your readers probably don't remember that.
