Biography of Brooke BurkeBorn in Hartford, Connecticut, on September 8, 1971, Brooke Lisa Burke was raised in Tucson, Arizona. Her looks began gaining her attention at a young age, and she won her first beauty pageant at the age of 14. Around the same time, she made her screen debut in a 1986 B-movie entitled The Wraith in an uncredited part as a roller-skating waitress. Contracts with talent agencies like Ford Models led to appearances in TV ads for Coca-Cola and Discover Card; however, Brooke Burke also studied business advertising and broadcast journalism at Santa Monica College and UCLA to further her career.

In 1999, she landed the gig of a lifetime as a travel guide on E! Entertainment Television's popular Wild On! program, replacing previous host Jules Asner. Brooke Burke's hosting duties took her to dozens of exciting locales in just about every corner of the globe and, thanks to her legions of male fans who tuned in to check out how she'd be dressed for her adventures, increased her profile immensely. Many hearts were shattered when Brooke Burke tied the knot with Dr. Garth Fisher in 2001. The couple had two daughters, Neriah, born March 2000, and Sierra Sky, born April 2002, but separated in 2005. After leaving Wild On! in 2002, Brooke Burke focused on acting, landing guest roles on That's Life (2002), Rock Me, Baby (2003), It's All Relative, and Monk (both 2004).
