...just sweet 13 but already Brooke Shields has played a prepubescent prostitute in Louis Malle's movie Pretty Baby. For her next role in Wanda Nevada, precocious Brooke is cast as an aspiring singer named Wanda who escapes from a Nevada orphanage and roams the West with a two-bit gambler named Baudray D'Emerillo (Peter Fonda).

"I must have music, music," Carter, 48, half crooned, half spoke, swaying to the beat of her trio with eyes closed. Throttling down to slow, slow low notes that seemed to float in the air forever-the crowd hanging on breathlessly-she would suddenly take off, sliding up the scale as fast as any sax to land on a sultry, slightly off-center note.
