Career: Shields' movie debut was in 1976's Communion. Two years later she appeared as a child prostitute in Pretty Baby, the hugely successful - though controversial - film that made her name. The Blue Lagoon - featuring scenes with her frolicking naked - was also a success in 1980. However, she subsequently appeared in several flops, prompting her to ditch acting in favour of studying French literature at Princeton University. She later starred in an acclaimed version of Grease on Broadway and appeared in her own sitcom, Suddenly Susan, which ran for four years until 2000. In recent years, she has made guest appearances on Two and a Half Men, Hannah Montana, Lipstick Jungle and The Middle. She has also starred in Chicago on Broadway and the West End. In June 2011 she assumed the role of Morticia in Broadway musical, The Addams Family.
