Brooke Shields Shares Stories Behind Pictures | Ron Galella, Ltd.

Brooke Shields takes center stage on this episode of "Stories Behind The Pictures," offering a rare and intimate reflection on her decades-long relationship with our paparazzo extraordinaire Ron Galella. What started as a never-ending pursuit when she was a teenager eventually evolved into mutual respect and support.

With the guidance of her mother, Brooke learned to navigate fame, working strategically with Ron by exchanging access for control. Over time, she came to recognize him not merely as a photographer, but as a true documentarian of her life.

In this special episode, Brooke recounts moments that defined her career: wearing a red dress to the Golden Globes (her agents said it would ruin her credibility, then everyone wore red the next year), winning five People's Choice Awards that her mom insisted meant more than an Oscar because real people voted for this honor. Additionally, winning the legendary Love Ball with an elaborate costume reveal was icing on the cake!
