Brooke Shields, 57, says she feels ‘overlooked’ after turning 50: ‘Sexiness doesn’t have to just be a young person’s reality’

Brooke Shields is loving her life at 57 years old and challenging society's standards when it comes to the representation of women over a certain age.

"Almost every one of my friends is pivoting and starting new chapters and I thought, well, we’re not represented," she said during an episode of the Verywell Mind podcast with Amy Morin. "I’ve done all of these things, I’ve raised my children. One’s in college, I don’t have the other one for too much longer before she goes to college and I’m finding myself just saying, 'Oh well, what’s next?'"
