The official trailer for Hulu's latest documentary series shows that the docuseries will delve into the dark aspects of the actress' fame, which was largely based on her image as a young, se*ualized figure.

At the beginning of the trailer, the 57-year-old actress and model is seen explaining how the image of her being a "pretty face" created by the media affected her as a young girl. She said that it just "seared" her. The trailer then goes on to show how the actress was perceived as "an iconic American Beauty", "an object of desire" and "a se*ualized child model". The trailer also displays how a young Shields was exploited.

Moreover, it sheds light on how young women are expected to maintain the fantasy-like images of themselves and live up to the world's unattainable standards.

The official synopsis for the documentary series, as released by IMDb, reads:

"[The show] follows actor, model, and icon Brooke Shields as she becomes a woman who discovers her power after being a sexualized young girl. She shows the dangers and triumphs of gaining agency in a hostile world."

Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields will feature exclusive interviews with actress Brooke Shields herself, Gregory Butler, Laura Linney, Drew Barrymore, and a few others.
