Brooke Shields shows off broken hand
Brooke Shields The actress told the Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson she was in pain for three weeks because she didn't want to interrupt rehearsals for her new play.
She said: "I broke my hand during rehearsal. I play a waitress, that screams danger, right? There's a moment where I kick over a chair and do this whole dance number and it was a very heavy, heavy chair, so it kind of bent my finger over, all the way back. I don't like being high maintenance so I was like, 'I'm just going to be fine with it, I'm fine!' So I was walking around with it for about two or three weeks in excruciating pain because I didn't want to be high maintenance. So I finally went [to hospital] and I just got the cast off today."
Shields, 45, is in rehearsals in Los Angeles for the play Leap of Faith, an adaptation of the 1992 film drama starring Steve Martin.
The production is due to open on October 3.
