Brooke Shields reflects on being made a 'sex symbol' at a young age and how she turned the page on fame

Brooke Shields is reflecting on the controversy surrounding her early fame.

During a recent interview, Shields — who is currently promoting her new Acorn TV mystery-comedy series, "You’re Killing Me" — opened up about becoming a "sex symbol" at such a young age and detailed how she was able to turn the page later in life.

"Believe me, I would’ve done it a couple of decades before," Shields told AARP of her breakout comedic turn on "Friends." She played the stalker of Matt LeBlanc's character, Joey.
