Brooke Shields is one of Hollywood's most favorite beautiful faces. With that captivating smile and gorgeous head of hair, she was a stunner even from a young age. She starred in Blue Lagoon as just a teen, and she has much of her time as a high school cheerleader to thank for her initial confidence to put herself out there.

After graduation, she joined the Laker Girls dance team, and went on to become their head choreographer. She cheered on Jamaal Wilkes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Magic Johnson.
