Author Talk with Brooke Shields at New Canaan Library Thursday, June 5th, 7pm
Join us for a special evening with actress, author, and founder and CEO of Commence, Brooke Shields for a discussion about her Memoir Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman.
Brooke Shields will be signing copies of the book at the event. Books will be available for purchase at the event, or in advance from Elm Street Books. Registration is required for this event.
And yet, for Brooke, the passage of time has brought freedom. At fifty-nine, she feels more comfortable in her skin, more empowered and confident than she did decades ago in those famous Calvin Kleins. Now, in Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old, she’s changing the narrative about women and aging.
With remarkable candor, Brooke bares all, painting a vibrant and optimistic picture of being a woman in the prime of her life, while dismantling the myths that have, for too long, dimmed that perception. Sharing her own life experiences with humor and humility, and weaving together research and reporting, Brooke takes aim at the systemic factors that contribute to age-related bias.
