Who Do You Think You Are? Brooke ShieldsSeason 1, Episode 4 - Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields embarks on a journey to discover which side of her divided and very different family she identifies with. On the one hand there is her mother's thrifty 'coupon clipping' New Jersey family, and on the other her father's more illustrious European aristocratic family with rumoured royal connections. In Newark New Jersey, Brooke explores the immigrant neighbourhood where her grandmother Teresa Dollinger grew up and uncovers the truth about Teresa's painful formative years. Back in New York, Brooke sets out on the trail of her very different paternal ancestry. Her journey takes her to Rome where she discovers that her ancestors were one of the wealthiest and most influential families in 19th Century Italy. But it doesn't end there - on the trail of yet another illustrious ancestor, Brooke heads to Paris and the very heart of French nobility!
