Brooke Shields dropped in at the Upright Citizen's Brigade theater over the weekend to be a panelist during a 72-hour marathon of improv comedy sketches, but "freaked out" when some jokes turned crass, says a spy.
"Everything was going great until three comics came out, each playing" a dead star, said the eyewitness. "One was playing Heath Ledger as the Joker, and he just kept listing prescription pills he had in his pocket. Another was playing Estelle Getty, and the third was Bernie Mac's ghost."
That's when Shields' smile faded. "She was so freaked out, her eyes welled up, and she actually bit her nails at one point," says the spy. "When someone pretended to dump Estelle Getty's ashes on ["30 Rock" star] Jack McBrayer's head, Brooke got up and walked offstage. She watched the rest of the show from behind a curtain backstage, with a grimace."
Shields' spokesman said she left to talk to the writers before she was about to go on.
