It's funny how her career of superstar basically ended after she lost that teen-Lolita look she had till 17


She was complaining how everyone liked her only because she had innocent pretty face. But then the moment she lost it - her career ended. No one was interested in ordinary looking adult Brooke.

You could see how her face changed basically overnight. It's creepy. She still had that angel face in 1981 Endless Love. When she was 16 years old.

In 1983 Sahara she already lost it

Here at awards show when she was 18 she looks like she is 25 years old woman

And "Suddenly Susan" tv show is the only noticeable thing that she did in her career.

To her credit. somehow she managed to stay relevant for some time. First for fake dating Michael Jackson and being his "beard". Then for dating and marring tennis superstar Andre Agassi for 6 years. She was basically famous for being famous.

And then she went of the radar. Like you know she exist and she pops up in press sometimes. But does not do movies that anyone is watching. It's some low budget crap.

She was a child superstar who could not transition to adult roles.

I found video of her aging from 0 to 57 years old

That shift came at 17 years old. You can clearly see that her face changed from "impressionable surprised vulnerable teen" to "adult 23 years old woman". It's amazing how Grown Up she was looking at 18.
