College life wasn’t normal life for Brooke Shields

In her 2014 book, “There Was a Little Girl: The Real Story of My Mother and Me,” Shields detailed some of the difficulties she had. “The paparazzi tried to sneak onto campus, dressed like what they thought college students looked like, and follow me around,” she wrote. “The students were great and they alerted the school and me if anyone saw anybody suspicious.” She went on to share that one overly determined photographer positioned themselves in a vent to try to snap a picture of her, another even tried to bribe a fellow student to sneak a camera into the college showers to “snap [Shields] in the nude.” “They would have been in for a surprise if they tried, because I had taken to showering in a one-piece bathing suit,” Shields said of her college experience (via Princeton Alumni Weekly).

There was one point where Shields was ready to drop out of school, but she said it was her mother who convinced her to stay and finish her education.
