She was 'driven crazy' when the media referred to her with titles like 'the iconic beauty of America,' 'the coveted beauty,' and 'the most photographed woman in the world.' She was also shocked when Time magazine chose her as the cover face representing the 1980s in 1981, making her question, 'Who decided that?'.
The praises made her feel like she was nothing more than a 'beautiful face' for a long time. It was only later, after regaining confidence, that she realized she could have her own opinions and voice.
To build confidence in herself, Brooke took a break from Hollywood and pursued education at Princeton University. However, right after graduating and returning to work in 1987, she was sexually assaulted by an anonymous film producer.
At that time, she had a meeting with the man to discuss potential projects. Somehow, the producer convinced her to come to his hotel, promising to take a taxi for her. Of course, the story didn't unfold as Brooke expected. The man kept her waiting in the hotel room for a while and then returned in a state of undress.
Brooke recounts the violated memory in two parts of a documentary scheduled to air in early April.
