Veteran actress Brooke Shields shares her story of growing up in the spotlight with host James Lipton, from her breakout in 1978's "Pretty Baby" to her latest role as the dynamic film executive Wendy Healy in "Lipstick Jungle."

Will the real James Lipton please stand up? For the first time on television James Lipton appears on stage with his comedic nemesis Will Ferrell, who regularly delivers a devilishly, dead-on parody of Lipton on the venerable late night comedy series "Saturday Night Live." Lipton marks a milestone of his own celebrating his 100th guest, Gene Hackman. While Ferrell's faux Actors Studio guests have included Charles Nelson Reilly, and "Saved by the Bell's" "Screech," Lipton has interviewed 100 of our greatest actors including Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, Paul Newman, Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Jack Lemmon, Anthony Hopkins and many others. All are featured in the special retrospective hour -- with a few surprises thrown in -- followed by a one-hour interview with Gene Hackman.

The Actors Studio, founded in 1947, gained attention as Brando, James Dean, Tennessee Williams and other early members practiced their new "method" and emerged with a naturalistic style of acting previously unseen in movies.
