Brooke Shields who, at age 12, rose to stardom as a child prostitute in the 1978 movie Pretty Baby then became a teen heart throb in The Blue Lagoon and went on to more movie and TV hits like Suddenly Susan will be the spokesperson for Volkswagen's Routan minivan.

She's a wonderful person who I first met in 1984 when she had a summer internship at the San Diego Zoo and I was a TV sportscaster on KGTV. Brooke introduced me to her current husband Chris Henchy in 2001 on her birthday flying to San Francisco when she was heading to be a celebrity spokesperson at a national fund raiser for ALS or Lou Gehring's disease.
