this is a bbc news. have the for you at the top of hfiaefllflfl f? efieatffifitfie fif hour hsssl'fls= fsr sssstffistss sf hour just hsssl'fls= fsf sssstffistss sf hour just after this reflector, and now i'm enamoured with the guy holding the reflector for very different reasons. yes! right here. right there. a softer focus. brooke, so many of the interviews i've read yeah, that's it. ..in a soap ad. to have so much focus on your childhood as an adult, how does that feel? you know, it seems par for the course a little bit.
2:33 am
60 years, it's odd. but, you know, it... it was a point in time when that's how we made a living. my mom didn't get alimony or anything like that. but it was the idea that you're focusing on something. or, you know, you... you know, "did that have anything to do with it? "or was it just happenstance? "
2:34 am
and, you know, she kept it up. and do you look back and think there was kind of brooke shields, the public brooke shields through all of that period and through your teenage years, around whom there was kind of the movies and the maelstrom it was a theme, um, that my mom really perpetuated. and when i say that, she, um, wouldn't let me go or certification that would allow me to just graduate i went to regular schools in the city and then a high school in new jersey. and i think that all of those... all of those decisions that were made for me, but then also made by me as i got older, perpetuated me at the actual age i was in.
2:35 am
whenever we travelled, instead of being the only little kid, you know, injapan, my mom would bring my stepsister or my best friend. we had this, like, we can make fun of people and giggle and be kids and not feel like i was the only one you know, for all you... i mean, it could have thrown... to retain a sense of... you know, i, um... that topic has surprisingly
2:36 am
come up a lot. ..you know, being raised by parents who were, you know, had very strong standards for their own selves and their children. and, um... and then there was a stubbornness in me that didn't want anybody else to win. and the attacks and the... ..and the drugs and the alcohol and all these things... ..i wasn't going to let that win, because then i would have even if i didn't...
2:37 am
i think i was doing my version of it younger, but i really started to delve into psychology and why people act a certain way. what you don't have control over, was liberating to me. so i thought, "oh, i can be smarter than this." like the way it looks and it may... or, i don't know, something in mejust thought, "oh, no. i'm not going to lose." yeah.
2:38 am
the degree that i can." right. right? whether it was your mother who was an alcoholic or whether it was being on set. were you conscious of kind of thinking, "right, i need to be able to control something "and this is how i'm going to do it"? category of, um, survival. i was very organised. i was borderline ocd because if something refolded my sweaters or there was... and that's. .. one of the many. but what's interesting about control is you're... you know, you can say, "i'm in control "and therefore nobody can tell me what to do." whatever. and so i always tried
2:39 am
to look at the biggest what can i control?" and then as i got older, control became something less, and it became, oh, i can, actually, if there's something i don't like about myself, it's up to me. i can control changing that. were film sets nice places for you as a kid? were they places where you felt in control, or...? you talk about control? you get a call sheet, you have times on the call i love the glee that is coming into your face. and you can... from pretty baby on.
2:40 am
and you know what to expect the next day. there's something so comforting about that because you know what to expect. and if you do yourjob well enough, they like you and they reward you for that. you get another call sheet, yeah. ..to prove that i could... ..i could tear tape as fast as a gaffer and i could do that was a chalkboard, and i would get to do family? like family?
2:41 am
absolutely, like a family. that was something that sometimes took me a week to get over. i never saw again. but everything when you're on a movie set is... that's why people think they fall in love a lot. it's because it's common. the day, to get that... job is important. right. going to be at the hotel bar or at a pub
2:42 am
2:43 am
and normalcy, which is rare. it feels to me like another control thing, of separating rolling and you would, i don't know... you'd do that. as a what? asa...? um, ithink... at what i did as a craft. i was never nurtured as an actress. i wasn't. .. i had to show up and stand in my light on a spot and say and i think that it felt a little bit, um, dangerous
2:44 am
people, which you can, you know, there would be certain times when something would happen and maybe it was in a stunt or a... you don't get a call sheet for that. what if my mom wasn't there? and you... what if they weren't really my friends? or, like, there's the weird thing that happens. and so i thought, "ok, you cannot let these characters "or these roles or these people or any of this "be your real life." story, but, um... like, i think that there wasjust, like, i didn't know if i was going to be safe in it, but if i could then i could prove to the people watching, that i had a real life.
2:45 am
2:46 am
the one we knew and fell in love with, that we um... you know, unless you're maybe audrey hepburn, but if you are one of those people and you become “1???“ lgéf'l’i�*fi éfififigififi if i saw her as an 80—year—old woman, i'd go, "oh, but she's like, you miss her. you miss the one you fell in love with and looked and so i think psychologically, it's a very interesting thing. a lot of work on yourself
2:47 am
internally, to be ok right. because you... i don't look... everything's lower, and... yeah. and, like, you know, and it's a shock. it was a shock to me the first time i saw something was in the film. he was like, "aw." they got a hair on the lens. yeah, it's got to be a hair in the lens. definitely. i think you go to europe or... i'm not sure about the uk as much, but definitely... we don't... we have not figured that out yet. ithink... and i think, i'm hoping
2:48 am
2:49 am
mm—hm. not myself, because i avoided looking in the mirror and ijust didn't want to... um... but i knew i needed to have other things. mediums and learn different skills — broadway, speaking — of a decade", which is ridiculous in and of itself... like, it's just... it's interesting to me. but i nurtured other things always as a response to it not
2:50 am
in writing the book, have you also... and maybe just in the process of growing older — to 10, 20, 30 years ago? and i think that there's a freedom to it. and there's so many different factors that when you delve into them, you understand why this is a prime of our not our biological clock, not societal pressures, leaving, or you start,
2:51 am
2:52 am
2:53 am
they were, you know... and it wasn't until my later, later years and i walked around, not with any type of arrogance or anything like that, with a comfort and could walk up to people, introduce myself or say hi. knew most of them or had met them before. everything that i've done and been and seen and grown from and learned gives me the opportunity to not be and love their talent. have never been jealous. i've been intimidated. scared that i'm not good enough. it's not even envy.

hello there. across the uk, but ahead of it, with some sunshine and a brisk and east yorkshire reaching 17 degrees. that's made it the warmest day of the year so far this weekend will be a little cooler. saturday, we'll see a mixture of sunny spells and a few showers as well. sunday, though, we'll see more wet and windy weather sweeping in from the atlantic. and that cloud and rain still hanging around into the night across east anglia and the south—east of england, elsewhere, temperatures
2:56 am
could be as low as 5 or 6 degrees come the morning. the south—east fairly smartly. the cloud will linger for a bit longer. elsewhere, there'll be some sunny spells, a few showers grazing northern ireland, pushing into the north—west of scotland. one or two showers for england and wales as well, but many places will be dry. now, it's not going to be as warm as it was on friday, but still, it's a mild day, temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees. that's going to bring with it that band of rain. it's going to bring with it some stronger winds as well. across these northern and western areas. widely, gusts 50, 60 miles an hour, stronger than that around irish sea coasts and over the highlands and islands. and we've got this rain pushing slowly eastwards as well. and whilst it may become dry later in northern ireland, and the south—east of england. and those temperatures still a reasonable ii or 12 degrees quite widely.
