The Blue Lagoon (1980) actress Brooke Shields may resemble Tom Hanks & another actor, actress or group from some movie, TV series, etc. Connections:
- For 1982 teen comedy Fast Times At Ridgemont High Hanks was reportedly considered for Brad (this part was eventually played by Judge Reinhold).
- In an interesting post-script at the end of Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) is credited with rescuing Shields (yes the actress herself) from nearly drowning.
- For 1984 romantic comedy Splash Tom Hanks co-starred with mermaid Daryl Hannah. Reportedly, Brooke Shields turned down the role to play Madison.
- In a 1985 episode (S.11 E.5) of NBC TV late night comedy sketch series Saturday Night Live, Hanks hosted and Joan Cusack played Shields in a segment.
- Musicians Elvis Presley & Michael Jackson may be linked to this meme:
Hanks had several brushes with Elvis in his films including Forrest Gump in 1994. In 2022 he played Colonel Tom Parker, the manager of Elvis in Baz Luhrmann's biopic.
- Michael Jackson was married to Presley's daughter Lisa Marie for 2 years (1994-1996)​. Actor Nicolas Cage who appeared in Fast Times At Ridgemont High was married to the King's daughter for 2 years (2002-2004)​.
- On the subject of themes, I think there may be some similar imagery associated with some of the movies involving Hanks & Shields. A tropical desert island became the place Shields' character grew up in Blue Lagoon. Hanks acted in Joe Vs The Volcano (1990) & Cast Away (2000) which also used islands as settings.

00:00We're talking about knowledge of the future in movies, YouTube channel, Easter Egg Psychic.
00:06In this video, I'll take a look at actress Brooke Shields.
00:10She was in the 1980 coming-of-age drama The Blue Lagoon, directed by Randall Kleisser,
00:16based on the 1908 novel by Henry de Vere Stockpool.
00:21Also in this cast, Christopher Adkins, Leo McCurn, William Daniels, Alan Hopgood, and Gus Mercurio.
00:30So I took a look at Brooke Shields.
00:33I thought she may resemble actor Tom Hanks, and additionally, another actor-actress or group from some movie, TV series, etc. I was not quite sure of.
00:46Alright, connections.
00:47For the 1982 teen comedy, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Hanks was reportedly considered for the role of Brad Hamilton.
00:55This part was eventually played by Judge Reinhold.
00:58Interestingly, in a postscript, Spicoli, played by Sean Penn, is revealed as saving Brooke Shields from drowning.
01:09Others in this cast, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Phoebe Cates, Brian Backer, Robert Romanis, Ray Walston, Eric Stoltz, Nicolas Cage.
01:20For 1984 romantic fantasy comedy, Splash, directed by Ron Howard, Tom Hanks starred as Alan.
01:29Others in the cast, Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy, John Candy, Bobby DiCicco.
01:34Reportedly, Brooke Shields turned down an offer to play the mermaid, Madison, so she could study French literature at Princeton University.
01:44Daryl Hannah eventually played this character.
01:47In a 1985 episode of the late night comedy sketch series, Saturday Night Live, broadcast on NBC,
01:55Tom Hanks hosted, and in one skit, actress Joan Cusack portrayed Brooke Shields.
02:04This was season 11, episode 5.
02:07Musicians Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.
02:11Two huge names you may be able to catch a glimpse at looking at this body of information.
02:17Tom Hanks had several brushes with Elvis in his movie roles over the years.
02:23Elvis is shot in Forrest Gump in 1994, and most recently, Hanks played the manager of Elvis Colonel Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann's 2022 biopic starring Austin Butler.
02:39Michael Jackson was married to Elvis' daughter Lisa Marie for two years between 94 and 96,
02:47and I mentioned Nicolas Cage's role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
02:51Lisa Marie also married to Cage for two years between 2002 and 2004.
02:58On the subject of themes, I think you can look at some of the movies of Tom Hanks and see similarities to some of Brooke Shields' roles.
03:11The Blue Lagoon, in which she lives on a deserted tropical island.
03:16Hanks may have been in at least two films that hint to this.
03:20Joe vs. the Volcano in 1990, which co-starred Meg Ryan, more recently, cast away in 2000.
03:30Also directed by Robert Zemeckis of Forrest Gump.
03:33My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:35There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:38I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:41These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams, hidden in the subtext of the work in question.
03:48I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
03:53And what I found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
04:01and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
04:07that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
04:12My email contact is easteregguy, that's G-U-Y, at yahoo.com
04:21Thanks for watching.
