Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields' film debut in Alice, Sweet Alice (1976) helped cement the low-budget film as a contemporary classic of the slasher subgenre. The slasher film features Shields as the "favorite daughter" who is viciously murdered by a masked killer. In the years since its release, Alice, Sweet Alice has amassed quite a cult following. During her audition, Shields had to mime as though she was being strangled to death.
