Looking at Brooke Shields' IMDb profile I see after Endless Love (which wasn't exactly awful; based on a popular book, with a top director at the helm and a hit pop song to go along with it) there wasn't anything until the forgettable Sahara (1983). For some inexplicable reason she decided to do the Jodie Foster thing and go off to college - right at her peak of popularity. She subsequently, lost momentum and disappeared.

If she had some good management she might have worked with some good directors and built a career. But her alcoholic (and compulsive-shopping) mother called the shots, based on money and travel opportunities.
