As one of the hottest tour guides and perennial pinups on the planet, Brooke Burke’s exotic beauty, killer body and bubbly personality attracted legions of fans as host of E’s popular pond and partyhopping series, “Wild On.” Although not known for her acting skills, Burke took her hosting talents and undeniable beauty to heights never anticipated by the selfdescribed “simple tomboy.” The former lingerie model became an industry unto herself, posing for bestselling calendars, launching her own swimwear line and appearing in everything from Burger King commercials to bmovies – and along the way, never losing the accessible joie de vivre that she exhibited in almost any task she took on. Born Sept. 8, 1971 in Hartford, CT to parents of Irish, Portuguese and French descent, Burke was raised in Tucson, AZ after her parents divorced. The middle child of seven siblings, Burke never dreamed of fame and fortune. The young beauty was content to spend the rest of her life in the desert, playing drums in a rock band. Fate intervened when Burke accompanied a friend to a local modeling agency and was noticed by a beauty scout. Shortly after, she won a pageant sponsored by Hawaiian Tropics suntan lotion and, at age 19, headed to L.A. to study broadcast journalism at UCLA. For extra money, she posed for Fredrick’s of Hollywood lingerie catalogs – experience which would serve her well in the years to come. She continued to sign with prestigious LA model and talent agencies, landing parts in national spots for Bally Total Fitness as the “beautiful body”, Discover Card Derek Jeter’s dream date, CocaCola, M Professional Cosmetics and AnheuserBusch.
