What Ever Happened to the Cast of Miami Vice?

When Brooke Burns joined Baywatch in 1998, she brought fresh energy and a modern spark to the series’ later years. Her character, Jessie Owens, was smart, athletic, and ambitious — a single mom juggling duty and determination. Jessie stood out because she felt real, someone trying to hold her life together amid all the chaos of the beach.

Brooke wasn’t yet a household name when she joined the cast, but Baywatch changed that fast. Her natural confidence and friendly charm made her instantly likeable. She quickly became one of the faces that carried the show into its final seasons and later into Baywatch: Hawaii.
