BROOKE Shields has revealed she was rushed to the ICU after having a seizure in September.
The Blue Lagoon actress said she collapsed "headfirst into the wall" just days before debuting her one-woman show at New York City's Cafe Carlyle.
Brooke, 58, opened up in Glamour's US Women of the Year issue, explaining how she had a seizure outside of L’Artusi restaurant in the West Village.
"I was waiting for an Uber. I get down to the bottom of the steps, and I start evidently looking weird, and [the people I was with] were like, 'Are you okay?'" she said.
"I walk into the restaurant L’Artusi, and I go to the sommelier who had just taken an hour to watch my run-through. I go in, two women come up to me; I don’t know them. Everything starts to go black," Brooke continued.

"Then my hands drop to my side and I go headfirst into the wall. I start having a grand mal seizure," she continued.
Doctors later attributed the seizure, which caused her to froth at the mouth and go "totally blue," to potentially drinking too much water before the show and having too little sodium in her system.
BRADLEY BY HER SIDE
Brooke said fellow actor Bradley Cooper, 48, was by her side in the ambulance when she woke up.
The restaurant's sommelier managed to get in touch with Bradley after first trying Brooke's husband, Chris Henchy, 59, who couldn't be reached.
But Chris's assistant knew the Hollywood actor was nearby. Without hesitation, Bradley headed straight to the restaurant.
The two have been close friends for over a decade.
"The next thing I remember, I'm being loaded into an ambulance. I have oxygen on. And Bradley f**king Cooper is sitting next to me holding my hand," Brooke recalled.
"I didn’t have a sense of humor. I couldn’t really get any words out. But I thought to myself, This is what death must be like. You wake up and Bradley Cooper’s going, 'I’m going to go to the hospital with you, Brooke,' and he’s holding my hand.
"And I’m looking at my hand, I’m looking at Bradley Cooper’s hand in my hand, and I’m like, 'This is odd and surreal.'"
Once in intensive care, Brooke was given a catheter and an IV drip.

Although she later developed bronchitis, the model fully recovered and was able to debut her one-woman show, titled Previously Owned, on September 12.
The show successfully ran until September 23.
Brooke also joins writer Quinta Brunson, singer Mary J. Blige, model Geena Rocero, and actress Selma Blair on the Glamour Women Of The Year digital covers.
