Actress Brooke Shields is sharing her message with women over 40 from her new memoir, “Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman.” In an interview, Shields emphasized the importance of self-love and support during this stage of life.
Shields believes that aging as a woman is not about decline, but rather a time of empowerment. She notes that many women in their 40s are doing new things and feeling more confident than ever before.
The title of the book was inspired by a conversation Shields had with a man who changed his demeanor when she mentioned her age. She joked that this reaction was because she “had the gall to actually live to 59” and grow older, defying societal expectations.
As for her milestone 60th birthday in May, Shields plans to celebrate in low-key style with family and friends, focusing on self-care and fun activities rather than a big party. Her message for women over 40 is clear: this period of life is about embracing yourself and feeling supported by your own inner strength.
