Brooke Shields

 William Addams Reitwiesner's work has shown that Shields is closely related to several noble families in Italy especially from Genoa and Rome. [8] These are namely (in chronological order of descent from 1355 to 1965) the Gattilusi-Palaiologos-Savoy, Grimaldi, Imperiali, Carafa, Doria, Doria-Pamphili-Landi, Chigi-Albani, and Torlonia dynasties. [8] Her maternal grandmother was Italian noblewoman Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi she was the daughter of an Italian prince and an American socialite. Her great-uncle was the Italian nobleman Alessandro Torlonia, the husband of Infanta Beatriz of Spain.When Teri announced that she was pregnant the family of Frank paid the woman a lump sum to end the pregnancy. Teri took the money, but then broke the contract and was able to give birth to Shields. [9] Frank and Teri were married however, the couple divorced five months after Shields was born. She has two stepbrothers and three half-sisters. [11][12] When Shields was only five days old, her mom openly stated she wanted her to be active in the show business, telling her: "She's the most beautiful child and I'm going to assist her in her career. "[13] As a child, Shields took piano, ballet, and horse riding lessons.Shields was raised in the Roman Catholic faith. She was confirmed at age 10 and was given the name Camille in honor of Camillus de Lillis. She was a resident of Haworth, New Jersey while attending high school. It's right across the George Washington Bridge to Manhattan. Shields claimed that she first met at the Grand Ballroom of Waldorf Astoria New York when she was twelve years old. She claimed that she "stood as a statue asking what the reason they were all employed photographers" and "debuted at Waldorf."
