In 1983, Shields suspended her career as a model to attend Princeton University, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Romance Languages. In the 1990s, Shields returned to acting and appeared in minor roles in films. Since 2014, Shields has voiced Beverly Goodman in the Adult Swim animated series Mr. Pickles and its spinoff Momma Named Me Sheriff. In 2017, she returned to NBC with a major recurring role in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in the show’s 19th season.Shields has ancestral links with a number of noble families from Italy, in particular from Genoa and Rome. Her paternal grandmother was Italian noblewoman Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi, who was the daughter of an Italian prince and an American socialite. Her mother was of English, German, Scotch-Irish, and Welsh descent, while her father had English, French, Irish, and Italian ancestry. Shields has stated that her first encounter with the paparazzi was in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria New York at the age of 12, stating that she stood like a statue wondering why they were all hired to photograph her. She has two stepbrothers and three half-sisters. Shields was raised in the Roman Catholic faith. For her confirmation at age 10, she took the name Camille.
She graduated from the Dwight-Englewood School in Englewood, New Jersey, in 1983. Her autobiography, On Your Own, was published in 1985. Her 1987 senior thesis was titled The Initiation: From Innocence to Experience: The Pre-AdolescentAdolescent Journey in the Films of Louis MalLE, Pretty Baby and Lacombe Lucien. She also starred in the NBC sitcoms Suddenly Susan, for which she received two Golden Globe nominations, and Lipstick Jungle. She continued as a successful model until she was 11 months old when she was shot by Francesco Scavullo for a job for Ivory Soap. Her first successful job was for a successful job for a cosmetics company. She moved to a dorm at Princeton University to pursue her bachelor’s degree in French literature in 1987. She spoke openly about her sexuality and virginity. In 1987, Shields published a light-hearted op-ed piece intended to tweak the New York Times. It claimed that Princeton produced superior, well-rounded graduates. Not that Shields obviously paid attention to work because Princeton did not require her to take any classical studies, medieval studies, or American history, nor any course in mathematics, political science, or science with laboratory experience. She said that there is no longer any danger that our society will ever suffer from any form of elitism in any form. She is a member of the Princeton Triangle Club and the Cap and Gown Club.
