Shields began acting at 11 months, when she starred in an Ivory Soap commercial. Her mother, Teri Shields, was determined to make her famous. "I was her greatest creation," the actress told People magazine.

However, her mother made shockwaves in Hollywood with a series of shocking career decisions for her daughter, including letting her be photographed nude at the age of 10, and playing a child prostitute at the age of 12 in the movie Pretty Baby (1978), in which she appeared naked.

Shields had talent, but her mother was so desperate for fame it damaged her career.
