This year’s East Hampton Emergency Department Luncheon will feature special guest speaker Brooke Shields – an acclaimed actress, model, New York Times bestselling author, and entrepreneur whose career has spanned decades across film, television, publishing, and business.

Shields began her professional career at an early age, rising to international prominence through a wide range of film and television roles. Over time, she has remained a defining presence in entertainment and media, continually evolving while maintaining cultural relevance across generations.

In her 50s, Shields has embraced a new chapter as an entrepreneur with the launch of Commence, a haircare brand designed specifically for women over 40. The brand reflects her commitment to reshaping the conversation around aging – encouraging women to approach this stage of life with confidence, strength, and authenticity.

She is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old, which explores the humility and power of aging.

Taking place at Maidstone Club, this inspiring luncheon is held in support of the Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department, celebrating the vital role it plays in our community.
