| Brooke received an acting scholarship and moved to Los Angeles, CA where
she would study as a broadcast journalism student at UCLA. But her studies
were not her full-time job, as Brooke also spent her free time in front of
the camera as a model.
Becoming a high-profile model would not be difficult after having signed
with modeling agencies Ford, Wilhelmina and Cunningham-Escott-Dipene. Brooke
was ready to add a dozen magazine covers to her resumé, not to mention
television commercials, most notable, the Bally Total Fitness commercials
(as the "beautiful body"), Discover Card commercials (as Derek Jeter's date),
and commercials for Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch and M Professional Cosmetics.
When the E! network began searching for a replacement for its show
Wild On, a swim wear company that Brooke worked for recommended her to the
entertainment network. Brooke went for a casual meeting and interviewed with
E!.
E! was looking for a spontaneous, personable and down-to-earth person. Along
with her great looks Brooke fit the requirements perfectly, she was signed
to a three-year contract with the network as the hostess of the party show,
Wild On.
Taking modeling to new heights, Brooke appeared on the cover of Playboy's
May 2001 issue.

When she's not traveling to the most exotic places in the world, Brooke enjoys
staying home with her pets and husband, a plastic surgeon named Garth Fisher.
While at her Los Angeles home (where she spends a maximum of 15 days per
month), the jet setter stays fit by practicing yoga, kickboxing, scuba diving,
taking long walks, and relaxes by cooking and reading. From traveling around
the world as a model to seeing the world as the host of Wild On, Brooke
recognizes how important family is and her charitable nature is what drives
her to volunteer for non-profit organizations such as Athletes and Entertainers
for Kids and the Entertainment Industry Foundation. Brooke Burke
