Teri Shields, mother to Brooke Shields, passed away last Wednesday at 79 years of age after a battle with dementia. It has been reported that Teri and Brooke (whose career began at the ripe old age of 11 months!) didn't have the easiest of relationships -not that that makes it any easier to lose your mother. My condolences to Brooke and the entire Shields family.
Teri Shields, who long exerted an iron fist in guiding the career of her daughter Brooke Shields from the time the actress-model was 11 months old, died in Manhattan last Wednesday after what is described as a long illness.
