Brooklyn Decker Biography

Brooklyn Decker was born in 1987, in Kettering, Ohio. The daughter of medical professionals, she grew up with dreams of one day becoming a veterinarian. "That's because my parents are big animal lovers,” she explains. “We have four dogs and a cat."

Luckily for men everywhere, Brooklyn Decker’s best intentions were sidetracked during her early teens when she was discovered at a mall in Charlotte, North Carolina. Brooklyn Decker’s modeling agency promptly entered her in a number of contests and she rewarded their faith by running away with the 2003 Model of the Year award at the Connections Model and Talent Convention. Before long, Brooklyn Decker’s smiling face was popping up everywhere, including popular prom magazines. "It was so cool because everybody at school had a copy," she recalls.

In 2005, within two months of relocating to the Big Apple, Brooklyn Decker was asked to audition for the prestigious Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. "I [asked my agency] to give me three weeks to hit the gym and eat really healthy," she says. Her hard work clearly paid off, and Brooklyn Decker was selected to join legendary models like Heidi Klum, Elle MacPherson, Rachel Hunter, and Rebecca Romijn for the magazine’s 2006 edition.

"I just got lucky with Sports Illustrated," she admits. "There are many jobs when I go in and they're just like ‘Eh' and they kind of brush me away. That's OK. That's part of the job. I'm happy that the people who did love me were from SI."

"So, there I was shooting Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated in the matter of one week," she says. "I was completely outside myself that whole week. I would pray and I would say, ‘Lord, is this really happening or am I in a big dream?'"

Brooke Langton Biography

Breaking into acting after a brief stint in modeling and television commercials, Brooke Langton first gained exposure on everyone's favorite comely beach-bouncer series, Baywatch. A native Texan, it may seem fitting considering her freshman role that Langton studied Marine Biology at San Diego State University before making the leap from the classroom to the small screen. Living in Japan and modeling for eight months before moving to L.A. to pursue a career in acting, Langton got involved with theater in Portland and Texas before breaking into television on Baywatch and Beverly Hills 90210. After appearing in such made-for-television movies as Moment of Truth: A Mother's Deception (1994) and Eye of the Stalker (1995), Langton landed a role on 90210's mature (at least age-wise) cousin, Melrose Place. Later gaining notice for her role in Doug Liman's breakthrough indie hit Swingers in 1996, Langton returned to television for her role in The Net before going back to the big screen in The Replacements (2000). After the cancellation of The Net, Langton began work on another television series, When I Grow Up (2001). Following the cancellation of that short-lived series, Langton returned to the big screen with roles in Playing Mona Lisa, Kiss the Bride, and The Hulk. She is engaged to be married to Carl Hagmier in February 2005.
