"Pretty Baby" was met with significant controversy upon its release due to its depiction of nudity and the involvement of a minor, Brooke Shields, in certain scenes. Critics and audiences were divided, with some praising the film's artistic and bold approach to storytelling, while others condemned it for perceived exploitation.

"Pretty Baby" is a 1978 American drama film directed by Louis Malle. The movie stars Keith Carradine, Susan Sarandon, and Brooke Shields in her film debut. The story revolves around a young couple, Al and Vicki, who are part of a traveling photographic studio in New Orleans at the turn of the 20th century. The couple's baby girl, Lucy, played by Brooke Shields, becomes a central figure in their lives and the narrative. "Pretty Baby" was met with significant controversy upon

The legacy of "Pretty Baby" is complex. On one hand, it showcased the talents of its cast, including a standout performance by Brooke Shields, who was only 12 years old during filming.

The film explores themes of love, family dynamics, and the complexities of relationships. Al and Vicki are not married in the classical sense but consider themselves a family unit. The arrival of a British photographer who takes pictures of nude children sparks controversy and challenges their perception of their lifestyle and Lucy’s place within it.

"Pretty Baby" remains a significant and thought-provoking film in the history of cinema, known for its bold storytelling and the controversies it sparked. While it presents challenging themes and has been the subject of much debate, it also serves as a testament to the power of film to provoke thought and discussion.

Over the years, "Pretty Baby" has been reevaluated by film scholars and critics, with some arguing that it was misunderstood at the time of its release and that it actually critiques the voyeuristic tendencies of society rather than endorsing them.

The film's handling of sensitive topics, including child nudity, raised ethical questions and led to calls for greater scrutiny of films featuring minors. Despite the controversy, "Pretty Baby" received critical acclaim for its cinematography, direction, and performances. It was nominated for several awards and won the 1978 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

“I’m always seeking the next big thrill”

Me in a word: Exploratory

The first 21 years of my life were a mix of travel, sports and chasing academic excellence. As a child, I enjoyed jet skiing, bungee jumping and a few venomous pets. I’m still always seeking the next big thrill, like rock climbing and cave exploration.

Since leaving university and surviving the COVID years, I’ve developed my skills across different fields, from education to private healthcare, with a keen interest in human biology and education.

To relax, I watch old war movies or series, and shows like Sons of Anarchy and The Wire. Cooking was a big part of my childhood and I’d always help my parents prepare meals. I’ll bake anything with chocolate!

My wilderness survival buddy would be my dad. He’s a DIY expert, with basic wilderness survival skills. I once had a narrow escape outdoors: Venturing off the path on a solo hike, roasting in midday sun, suffering from dehydration, leg cramps and an encounter with a juvenile cobra. (I survived.)

Some everyday things that really annoy me are the morning traffic rush – and people being indecisive at the drive-thru window.

My bucket list destinations? Thailand, for rock climbing and base jumping, and Burma, for Lethwei (Burmese bare-knuckle boxing).

I think the human race needs a greater focus on work-life balance. Spending more time enjoying the little things, whether sport, art or music would help everyone live better, more fulfilling lives.

If I could change the law, I’d ban farm-raised lion hunting, and I’d allow a years’ paid parental leave for all new parents.

Outside of work, I juggle sports, cooking and taking my dogs out for regular walks.

My work family is supportive and engaging, always available to bounce ideas or chat. Learning Curve is the best work family ever, with an unparalleled culture. I like the freedom and flexibility to explore new and creative avenues – and the endless coffee (Yay!)

“Every day is different.”

Me in a word: Outgoing

I grew up in KZN, often barefoot in the bush, or soaking up the Durban sunshine. Our home was loud, with four daughters and weird and wonderful pets, and my love for performing means I have a large, bubbly, personality.

I wanted to be a singer and actress, then a vet. I moved to Cape Town to study Anatomy and completed an M.Sc at Stellenbosch University, then joined Learning Curve, where I work with 3D Anatomy software, Primal Pictures.

In my free time I like hiking, running, and yoga – and I’ve taught myself to play the ukulele. I recently started busking and people did tip me. (Was that their way of begging me to stop?)

Home entertainment? OK, this is embarrassing but I love the kind of reality shows which I fondly refer to as ‘trash TV’. I’m a vegetarian and love veggies, but also a classic mac and cheese with a parmesan crust.

I’m a cat person – my cat is my baby. I like the feline independence, and contrary to popular belief, they can be very friendly and loving.

Australia’s top of my bucket list; I was a huge Steve Irwin fan as a child and I’d love to visit the family’s zoo. I’d also love to spend more time exploring the spectacular nature that South Africa has to offer, and learn more musical instruments.

If I was in charge, there’d be a law against chewing with your mouth open, and one act of kindness every day would be compulsory. Kindness and compassion are what the world needs now.

I’m very lucky to be part of the wonderful Learning Curve education team. We’re passionate about our work and we’re loud and energetic, always having lots of fun with our clients around the country. This is a family that I love being a part of. Every day is different, which keeps things fun and exciting. Our team is full of knowledgeable people – I’m constantly learning new things from my colleagues.

My favourite office snack? Peanuts.
