Brooke Shields calls 1981 Barbara Walters interview 'criminal' - NBC News

Brooke Shields slammed Barbara Walters on Monday over a 1981 interview she did about her famous Calvin Kleins ad, describing the veteran journalist's questions about her sexual history as "practically criminal.".

In 1980, Shields, who was then 15, starred in a Calvin Klein TV commercial which featured her most famous slogan: “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins.

Shepard said that the 1981 interview with Walters following the release of the Calvin Klein commercial was particularly "maddening.".
