"Don't waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes, run to the next window- or break down a door."
~ Brooke Shields
American actress and former model, Brooke Shields is best known for starring in movies such as The Blue Lagoon, Pretty Baby, Endless Love, Sahara, among many others.
Brooke Shields is also known for her height. She belongs to the elite club of super tall actresses of Hollywood, whose members include people like Sigourney Weaver (5'11"), Uma Thurman (6"), Nicole Kidman (5'10½"), and Charlize Theron (5'10").
Anyway, Brooke Shields has claimed to be 5-feet-11 inches tall in the past and she looks like it.
Her daughter, Grier Hammond Henchy seems a couple inches taller than even her tall mother at the ripe old age of 15. Though further growth would be unlikely and perhaps even unwelcome now.
The height of Brooke Shields is
5'10¾" or 179 cm

"The older I get, the younger I feel. Growing up, I was always the kid, but I spoke like an adult and was in adult roles. I didn't feel like a kid. The older I get, I actually feel younger! Which is good. I always thought when you get older, you'll want to slow down, but I want to do even more."
