Brooke grew-up with two sisters’ she used to become a ballet dancer, as she danced for 12 years starting from age three, and had a hope for becoming a famous ballerina, but that dream was destroyed when she had a skiing accident when she was 14. It was a major disappointment for Brooke, but her mother thought that she might do something else so she sent her to a modelling school, and within a year, Brooke was already being featured in both US and European fashion magazines. She was still attending school and was determined to finish it yet, but concurrently visited Europe, and lived for a short time in Paris and Munich.

After being featured in magazines, she happened to become a model in commercials, which led to her first role in a TV series– “Unplanned” in 1995. The majority of individuals who recognize Brooke know her from the “Baywatch” TV series.

The movie has a rating of 5.9/ 10 on IMDb and even though that is not so good, the audience loved the movie.
