Brooke Elizabeth Burns, an American actress, model, and television presenter, was born on March 16, 1978, in Dallas, Texas. She has two sisters. Burns studied ballet until the age of 12 and began her modeling career at 15. At 16, her family moved to Europe, where she lived in Milan, Munich, and Paris—key fashion hubs that expanded her early exposure in the modeling industry.
Burns is actively involved in a number of charitable causes. During her time on the television series Baywatch, she participated in Camp Baywatch, an initiative designed to teach inner-city children lifeguarding and swimming skills. She has also supported Penny Lane, an organization that provides a safe living environment for abused children, and collaborated with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF), further reflecting her commitment to children's welfare and health advocacy.
Burns attended Sahuaro High School (SHS) and Palo Verde High School (PVHS) in Tucson, Arizona. During her time there, she was named Homecoming Queen for the class of 1995. She later pursued studies in broadcast journalism, which complemented her eventual career in television presenting.
Burns gained early fame for her portrayal of Jessie Owens in Baywatch and Baywatch: Hawaii, appearing from 1998 to 2001. Her role brought her widespread recognition and served as a launching pad for her subsequent television and film career. In 2001, she played Vicki Vale in a series of Batman-themed OnStar commercials opposite Bruce Thomas.
Her film debut that same year included a notable supporting role in the Farrelly Brothers’ romantic comedy Shallow Hal, where the directors wrote a part specifically for her after being impressed during auditions.

She later starred in the primetime Fox drama North Shore, appearing in 21 episodes between June 2004 and January 2005. In 2006, she joined the cast of Pepper Dennis as Kathy Dinkle and appeared in the first 12 episodes of the 2009 reboot of Melrose Place, playing Vanessa.
Her television career also includes roles in popular shows like Just Shoot Me, Ally McBeal, CSI: Miami, Drop Dead Diva, and the reality series To Tell the Truth and Average Joe. Burns also gained popularity as a co-host on the Game Show Network’s version of The Chase, alongside Mark Labbett.
