Easy to say, perhaps, when you are in such phenomenal shape. The star has had a complicated relationship with her body and fame ever since she burst on to screens in one of the most controversial films of all time. She told People: "At 52 years old, I finally feel comfortable and proud of all the hard work I’ve put into my body. Feeling disconnected from my own body, it took me years to separate the opinions of others from my own." SCROLL DOWN FOR EXCLUSIVE CLIPS FROM BLUE LAGOON, GALLERY AND MORE  Shields shot the sizzling new images for the swimwear brand Swimsuits For All. She said: "After 50 years in the spotlight, I can confidently say that my 'Power Suit' is being in my own skin, showing my body and not hiding it." The star has come a long way since her 1980 debut in the most famous film adaptation of Henry de Vere Stacpoole's 1908 novel.
