When Brooke Shields took the powerful Hollywood executive up on his offer to use the phone in his hotel room, she expected to call a cab. Instead, she was sexually assaulted – and blamed herself for what happened.

The incident happened when she was in her 20s, the model and actor, 57, told People in an interview published Wednesday (March 15).
