While Shields’ career as a young actress and model have been well chronicled back to when she gained widespread notoriety at age 12 for her leading role in Louis Malle’s Pretty Baby, in which she appeared in nude scenes shot when she was 11- years-old.
She continued to model into her late teenage years and starred in several dramas in the 1980s, including The Blue Lagoon (1980) and Endless Love (1981).
The New York City native ended up suspending her acting and modeling career to attend Princeton University, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Romance languages.
In the 1990s, Shields returned to acting and appeared in several minor roles in films, before landing the lead role in Suddenly Susan (1996-2000), which was followed by another NBC sitcom Lipstick Jungle (2008-2009).

Henchy first worked on Wall Street after graduating from college, but wound up quitting to give it a go as a comedy writer, which included writing for Garry Shandling’s The Larry Sanders Show.
He went on to write and produce for television sitcoms Spin City and Life With Bonnie, and be a frequent collaborator with comedian and actor Will Ferrell.
