News about Louis Malle

It's like watching a road traffic accident, but one that 'groans rhythmically' as'suspenseful music rises'. However, despite the fact that only Binoche was ever shown unclothed in the film, not Irons, this does at least reach parity on the nakedness front. Armitage's romantic lead in the BBC's North And South series will be cherished by many who recalls him as a child star, and has longed to see more of him than ever before. In this respect, you will not be dissatisfied. You may be delighted, chances are.

Brooke Shields is currently out helping with the marketing push for the upcoming documentary, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields. With a guest spot on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Thursday, the actor and model remained in promo mode. She was seen marching from Manhattan to the studio, looking happy and cheerful, despite the appearance of her huge smiling smile on her face. Shields demonstrated some of her catwalk-like moves during an impromptu photoshoot with admiring photographers just moments before stepping inside the building where the late-night talk show is being shot. The new documentary explores issues such as sexualization, the feud with her own mother, and Louis Malle's controversial film, Pretty Baby (1978), starring a younger Shields.

The moral bankruptcy of 1970s Hollywood reaches its peak in this film scene. When drooling clients try to rob her virginity from each other, a heavily dolled-up 12-year-old girl is carried about a high-class brothel. Brooke Shields, a child actress who was just 11 on the set of Pretty Baby, was forced to appear naked on camera as well as kiss a 29-year-old Keith Carradine. According to reports, the film's crew had chosen Jodie Foster, 14, for the role, but French director Louis Malle ordered that it go to Shields.
