Brooke Shields


WHAT a fantastic way to celebrate my 21st birthday! I came home from class and renewing my driver's license to find an envelope from the one and only...Brooke Shields! Suddenly Susan herself! At first I was getting worried because other members on my fanmail website were receiving a different signed photo instead of Brooke actually signing the photos they sent (her photo was an 8x10" and my envelope only held a 5x7", so you can see the dilemma at hand).  But alas, the fanmail gods are in my corner once again! Details in a moment... (insert Julie Chen/Big Brother angle change)

But first, here's the backstory...I have always been a fan of Brooke since I first saw her on Suddenly Susan back in the day.  While the characters and plot are a bit fuzzy (its been years since I've actually seen an episode), I remember her and Kathy Griffin were GREAT together.  Plus, the theme intro was pretty sweet.  Additionally, her involvement at the 2011 Tony Awards was PRICELESS -- just check out the video below to see what I'm talking about! So, naturally, when I heard she would be replacing Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia Addams in the Broadway musical centered around the gothic family, I knew I had to write. Anjelica Houston did a phenomenal job in the movies, and I think it's the character of Morticia Addams in general that attracts me to The Addams Family.  I can only imagine Brooke is doing an amazing job.  You go, Brooke!
